    SL is a virtual world - not so much a game, per se.

    BE WARNED - The biggest issue I have with it is the utter lack of account security. LL SHOULD be introducing Authenticators for $5 a pop, the way Blizzard Entertainment does - all the more so when you consider the very real fact that their in-world currency (Linden, or L$) is exchangeable for USD. Linden Research Inc (aka    SL is a virtual world - not so much a game, per se.

    Linden Research Inc (aka LindenLabs) however, seem to be too tight-fisted to invest in the provision of Authenticators.

    Until then, enjoy being hacked and having your PayPal account robbed. You, the victim, will be subjected to no end of hassles, delays, denials of responsibility, dramas and headaches trying to sort things out and you WILL be treated like YOU'RE the criminal (or at the very least, as though you're clueless about your own security measures).

    Oh and if you are hacked and robbed, be further warned that PayPal won't lift a finger to help (they're the Kings of Denial and will dismiss the very idea of investigating in a heartbeat) and LL will only freeze your SL account for a number of days while just making it appear as though they're doing something to investigate.

    The only form of help you can rely upon is your bank, who will cancel your card instantly for you and issue a new one.

    I'll give it a perfect score the day they start issuing Authenticators.

    The ability to show others your own work makes the game the unendingly original, organic environment that it is. But all said, Second Life is what you make of it.

    Fascinating, infinite possibilities, but it's rough around the edges. [Feb 2005, p.84]

    This microcosmic world holds together only because its players agree to suspend their reality and believe in each other's fantasies. If you find yourself too sceptical to join in with this shared hallucination, you'll find little entertainment here. [PC Gamer UK]
