Review: Sociotown
Saturday, January 17th, 2009
Recently I’ve been searching the net for some good alternatives to Second Life, and directly from apple website I found an interesting game, called Sociotown, which has some great features.
First of all, is a web-browser game. All data in the game is stored on their server, so I don’t have to worry to lose any previous save game. Also, that means I can really play it anywhere I have access to a mac/pc and an internet connection. This already was a big plus for me, since I wanted something I could play even at work 
Then I started playing with the character builder, very well done, in which you can customize your own alter-ego choosing several different head, hair style, eyes, clothes and more.
The social system in SocioTown is designed to be intuitive and provide players a way to naturally distinguish between their good friends and random acquaintances. It really works well, and you’ll spend lot of time playing with that tool, meeting new characters and establishing new virtual friends.
Another cool feature, is that players can inhabit any vacant room in the apartments throughout SocioTown. Each room can be furnished with a variety of items, which players can purchase at stores within the town.
As you can imagine this is a free to play game, so you can play it for free and pay money only if you want to buy something inside the game. You can still have hours of fun without paying anything, to be honest!
If you want to try it, head to Sociotown Official site.
