A few weeks ago I was searching the internet for a game to play on google. I decided to sign up for google lively. i really like the idea of it, where you can make your own avatar and you have a huge room to decorate. Other people can come in to your room and chat with you, and you can visit other rooms that people have made. Some things i did not like about this particular virtual world are the assortment of stuff you can use. It is a very limited selection of appearances, clothes and stuff you can put in your room. When you pick an avatar there are only like six or so selections. There are a lot of hairstyle you can pick from, which is nice, so you can change the appearance more. There are only about twelve selections of shirt, and three botom choices and three pairs of shoes to choose from. If you are feeling very creative you can also pick from a few animals to be your avatar. I found decorating the room sort of difficult, because you pick the things you want, but its hard to move them around where you want them in your room. The things you pick just clump up in the middle, i was unable to find out how to move them throughout the room. If there were more clothes to dress your avatar, and more things to decorate your room, google lively would much improve. The things i do like about google lively is that you can check out other rooms people have created and meet more people that. I think its a fun way to stay in touch with other people, instead of jsut the normal chat room.
