So this is a review on the indie title "Real Life". I got the game on 25 April, 2001, and I've finally decided to review it. Let's go.

 Graphics 

Oh my God, are they amazeballs. It's like a 100000000000000x1000000000000000 resolution with 100000000 frames per second. Best of all, it somehow manages to run extremely smoothly on even the slowest (Get it?) of brains.

 Gameplay 

Here's where the game starts to have its faults. The tutorial is boringly long, lasting up to level 18 depending on if you are randomly chosen to be gay or not. Even if you are straight, it isn't the best idea to go out as soon as you reach level 18.

The map is amazingly huge and free to explore, or should I say, "free" to explore. You need a job to go to every day to get money to survive, and even when you do get to travel, airline tickets and gas cost way too much for it to be enjoyable. There are also certain areas where trolls love to hang out, such as the "Africa" and "Middle East" locations.

There's no singleplayer mode. Instead, ONE server hosts up to 7 BILLION people, and with no lag whatsoever. It's truly amazing. However, it seems like a lot of the time, you're the only smart one around. Some groups of people have more idiots than others, such as YouTube comment people (Commentors?), politicians, and drivers.

The game is the most pay 2 win thing I've ever seen. Nothing is given to you for free, and often times the economy will crash and nothing is worth anything, and anything is worth nothing.

The selection of vehicles in epic. You have cars, trucks, big rigs, tractors, cranes, armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters, planes, ships, submarines, etc... The only problem is, you can really only own two cheap ones at a time unless you're lucky and get hired for a really good paying job, which is unlikely.

 Music 

The music is awesome, at least the music put into the game before update 2.0.12. Any music you could think of is in the game.

Verdict

The map and graphics are great, but it's not enough to redeem the terrible community, bad storyline, long tutorial, and constant microtransactions. Overall, the game gets a 6.5 out of 10.
