Well, that's the basis of the article, and therefore the reviews.

Worth it for a lot of things
First, let's talk about what RL did wrong. Due to the lack of a monthly fee, there are a lot of people who really shouldn't be on a game like this but somehow ARE. Secondly, the stat system, although mostly good, can occasionally permanently debuff certain characters in utterly horrific ways. Next, the Pv P, although uncommon, can seriously ruin your day. Additionally, a lot of the really good in-game jobs are held by total arseholes.
What did it do right? Well... the graphics are utterly amazing. I mean, the producers went so far as to make complicated systems of climate, weather, entrophy and growth that mean that if you go somewhere, leave, and then return, it won't look the same. The sheer depth of graphics is incredible, and the variety is utterly breathtaking. Any other game would be completely lagged-out by these graphics. Real Life is so well-built that it has no lag AT ALL!
What else? Well, the NP Cs have millions of responses, meaning that you don't get a Welcome To Corneria situation ever. Additionally, if you take a few chances in the game, then you can end up in wildly different situations. Since there's no known way to hack the game, you can't bypass any checkpoints and make it totally broken.
And the language system. My God, the language system! The sheer amount of unique languages that exist make for a realistic setting and a fun sidequest or two, while the dialects combined with this can lead to wacky hijinks.
The crowning jewel of Real Life's crown is without a doubt the physics system. There are in-game jobs that revolve around figuring it out, for God's sake! It's extremely realistic and leaves room for all sorts of awesome things. I mean, the liquid rules alone are brilliant!
There are a lot of bad things about this series. But there's also a lot of GOOD things. If you want a game with Scenery Porn, no Welcome To Corneria situations, amazing minigames, and breathtaking physics, then, as many players say, you may want to "Get a Life!"
