No. No. No.
Ever wanted to hang around with a s***load of prepubescent teenagers pretending to be cool and dressing up with 3D characters in a game that doesnt start with "The Sims"? Me either.
"There" is like an embarassment to civilization. Essentially, and the best way to describe it, is that "There" is a mixture of The Sims Online with some sort of action game, making it overall a third person game where you do nothing but chat, drive cars, and... well, that's about it. This game is free, at least to my knowledge. I'm not playing this after one day, so I'm just assuming it's free. The game sets you up with a base character with default clothng, and essentially just throws you in the game. Despite a volley of "Click here for help" guides, I just ran into the game, and I found that this game really has no learning curve whatsoever. Beyond learning how the hell to control your character, there really isnt anything to this game, so obviously it's not difficult. In this game, I decided to become a blonde haired guy. I had no choice in the homo hawaiian shirt, however:  The game throws you in some location with a bunch of places. Needless to say, I automatically decided that I should go out trekking and meet people, because obviously that's all this game is for. Think an overinflated chatroom. Anyway, I hit a button to teleport me to an area, and...  Yay! Loading screen. There are tons of these in this game, and even sometimes I feel like they are needed. Essentially, the game loads the shell map, and while you play, it slowly loads in the details. PROBLEM: THAT MEANS I SOMETIMES WALK THROUGH WALLS. No matter. Ignoring THAT issue, I had enough trouble moving anywhere as it is. I tried WASD use to no avail, because my chat started filling up with "WWWWWWW". Essentially, you move with a combination of the mouse and arrow keys, and god forbid you actually do anything beyond that. Of course, it opens up the opportunity to use the keyboard for instant chat, but that's bulls***. I'd prefer the Half Life controls to this any day. Now for some fun with the people. The people in this game are either idling or running around silently, so I decided to spice things up a little bit:  Unfortunately, this did nothing to help my situation, as people actually ran from me. Excuse me, this is a Mass Multiplayer Game at 12:00 at night. I'm half expecting someone to play along. But noo, looks like everyone's being a pussy and running away.    Suffice to say above, these people are pretty brainless, also. The most you usually got out of people was "hi" and "want 2 play spades?". Being as I didnt want to talk to any male characters, and the female characters all wanted to play spades, I was screwed. Where's the whorish, cheap-lay-ish kinda female gamers from other MMOs? These are some strange people. But then again, they mess up spelling words that a kindergardener could spell, so I guess that's a stupid question. Overall, the people in this game are closet wierdos. Of course, this was like candy to me:  That's one for the save vault. And:  The poses and attitudes in each one are just so freaking awesome. I basically pissed myself reading some of that- I was laughing so hard at how people responded to such things as "NO DADDY! DON't BEAT ME WITH THE HOSE!!!" and "There's a demon in your chest! Strip nude! Hurry!". Overall, this was fun to screw around with, but I'm uninstalling it as I write this review. One, is because I'm going to be banned (Some of the players sent some of my comments to them to "There" staff) and two, the game sucks ass. Its free, but this is horrible. Go get a "Free" game like Guild Wars with the one time fee, I'd recommend it way over this pile of trash.
