On an iPhone, IMVU is a lot more user-friendly. Where can you run this program?Īs well as your desktop, you can also play IMVU on a mobile device, both iPhone and Android. If you don’t mind not being able to chat with other users and enjoy life simulation, the Sims is the way to go. Avatar physical appearance is more realistic and content creation is much easier and you don’t need to have the VIP status or pay a fee to list your item for sale like in IMVU. For example, in Second Life your avatar can move freely and even fly. You can do pretty much the same things as IMVU there and more. Second Life is another option for those looking for a 3D virtual world. Is there a better alternative?Īt first, IMVU seems like it has a slight Sims vibe, but only if the Sim had a ton of modifications added. Everything that you want to use to customize your avatar’s appearance, your room, and your chat rooms are purchased with credits - clothing, accessories, pets, furniture, and even changing your avatar’s name. There’s a small selection of furniture that your avatar already owns in an inventory box and you can add more of it for free. To move your avatar, you click on different areas of the screen and if there’s a little yellow orb, your character will warp there. Each user starts out with ‘My Room’, a hip, open layout rooftop apartment for just their avatar (or other players that are invited there) that can be decorated however the user would like. Rooms can also be adult themed and age restricted, which you can unlock with the purchase of an Access Pass. Rooms can be designed to look like real places and landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Times Square, or a player can make an original area like a park, a pool, or a seemingly endless hallway where pink glittery hearts will cascade on loop. You can also see if the room is at capacity, and most cap at 10 people. Here, you can see the language that players will be speaking, player usernames and countries, ages, genders, and the option to add them as a friend. Each chat room has an introductory info box that you can view before you go in. Most players opt for pre-made rooms, and a visit to the ‘Chat Rooms’ page shows you those. With the ‘Chat Now’ option, your character sits in “Buckstars Coffee” and waits for the system to spawn another player. The app opens up to your homepage, with your avatar on the left and a grid with all of the things you can do on the right like ‘Chat Now’, ‘Get Matched’, ‘Shop’ and ‘Friends’. For the desktop app, Windows 7 or later with at least 512 mb of RAM free is required. There’s also the option to sign up through Facebook if you don’t want to use your email.Īt this point, you’re prompted to download the desktop or mobile app to continue. After the avatar has been created, enter a name for the avatar, your name and email address and your account is created. As for clothing, there were around 50 different pieces to choose from including tops, bottoms, and shoes. The range from plain everyday ponytails to hip asymmetrical bobs to voluminous curls. The hairstyles came in natural colors as well as neon pinks, reds, blues, and purples. Maneuvering the character while designing was clunky, and it was difficult to see what hairstyles and accessories like earrings looked like from the side because the character focuses on the user during the turn instead of looking straight ahead. The user starts off with only eight different skin shades to choose from and nine “heads”, or premade features. The volume controls are separated into two flat buttons above the screen lock key. I'd call the button a little small, but the travel and feedback are very good. It has a ridged texture to help it stand apart from the other two buttons. The lowest of the three is the screen lock key. Of note, if you turn on the fingerprint reader navigation controls, the screen-based buttons go away.Ī trio of buttons are perched high on the right edge of the phone. Once you do, the fingerprint reader acts like a trackpad and allows you to navigate back or access the app switcher when you swipe left or right, respectively. You'll need to turn to on the features using the Moto App. Similar to the Moto E4, the Z2 Play's fingerprint reader doubles as a navigation tool. The actual nav cluster comes and goes as needed on the screen itself. It's far more usable than the small square reader on last year's phone. Perhaps the biggest improvement in design rests on the phone's chin: the Z2 Play has a nice, oval-shaped fingerprint reader that's easy to find and use. I wish the display were as black as the thick bezels surrounding it, but it's not. The user-facing camera is hard to spot, while the "moto" logo (yes, lowercase "m") is painted on between the earpiece and the top edge of the display. You'll easily spot the two-tone LED selfie flash in the top-left corner. The black glass fills out the front nicely. The Z2 Play's face doesn't deviate from the Motorola playbook much. The glass, metal, and polycarbonate components all fit together cleanly and with precision. Nothing about the phone feels cheap or flimsy. I'm impressed by the rigidity of the frame and how tightly all the pieces are assembled. It's so close in quality to the Z Droid that you could easily mistake the Z2 Play for Motorola's flagship. The materials and build quality are excellent. The phone is slim enough that it slips into pockets with ease. I appreciate the Z2 Play's drop in weight (from 5.82 ounces to 5.11 ounces), but the weight loss won't matter much if you snap a battery pack or other heavy Mod onto the back. We can't pretend the Z2 Play is small - many people will still need two hands to interact with it - but there's no doubt in my mind that it's a more usable handset than the original. At the same time, the frame takes on a deeper curved shape that works with the thinner profile to make the Z2 Play more comfortable to hold and use. (Motorola sort of designed itself into a corner here.) Even so, Motorola trimmed the fat lining the Z Play's waistline, giving the Z2 Play a slimmer 6mm chassis. Keep in mind, the Moto Mods accessories demand a certain footprint, and all the Mods-compatible phones share similar (big) dimensions. The Z2 Play is slightly smaller and lighter than the Z Play. The Z2 Play is a good looking phone and it comes across as stronger and less delicate than the original. (Motorola will sell the Z2 Play in more colors later this summer.) The gray paint on the frame has a nice visual texture to it. I like the gray-on-gray coloring of our review unit, though Verizon also sells the Z2 Play in gold. The aluminum frame wraps all the way around the phone and has attractive chamfers along the edges that give it a little extra pizzazz. Motorola picked 2.5D glass for the front of the Z2 Play, though the curved edge is somewhat buried in the frame. This year's phone drops the fragile glass rear panel in favor of an attractive metal plate. As much as I liked the metal-and-glass chassis of last year's Z Play, the twin glass panels left the original more exposed to breakage. Thankfully, there's a lot to like about this second-generation, affordable smartphone from Motorola.įor example, the Z2 Play's design is better than the original. It would be easy to write off the Z2 Play as a minor spec bump to last year's excellent Z Play. The Z2 Play makes the most sense for those who may have already invested in several Mods, but it's also a good buy for just about anyone who needs a solid everyday performer. The Moto Z2 Play is a mid-range handset that's compatible with Motorola's collection of Moto Mods accessories. Disturbing business ethics: Emmanuel Levinas and the politics of organization.

The majority of players - whether they adored Hi-Fi Rush or not - were going to fill their boots through the subscription service over the premium alternative. We all hopped on Xbox Game Pass, fell in love with it, and then called it a day. Unfortunately, it was packaged in a way that would seemed to spell its demise. It will soon be joined by heavier hitters, but for a title like this to arrive with zero expectations is what the console desperately needed. It has personality for one, and eager to shake up the landscape of major exclusives defined by shooters and driving simulators. It’s charming, inventive, and an experience we would never expect from Xbox. The company has since come out and said otherwise regarding previous reports, but that denial still leaves me with a lot of lingering questions.Hi-Fi Rush is an excellent game, and one of the year’s best. If anything, Microsoft failed Hi-Fi Rush. Actual sales of the game by traditional means were always going to be lacking, and failing to consider that feels like an oversight. I’m not surprised, and also unsure what it expected shadow-dropping this onto a subscription service where players can access it for free on all platforms. Tango Gameworks’ Hi-Fi Rush apparently didn’t meet Microsoft’s sales expectations.
