What's your opinion on Second Life?

I've never played Second Life, but I think it's an interesting idea. Even though this game is not popular in Hong Kong, I believe it would appeal to people here. I certainly like the concept of creating a completely new persona. If I were to have a different character, I would like to be sportier, although my looks would most probably remain the same.

It's not surprising that Second Life has not caught on with Hongkongers. This virtual reality game allows people to be very creative in their choice of character. For example, I would love to be a pet dog living in the US. I'd like to be taken care of. The game is really interesting, and I'd definitely recommend it to my friends.

Some people find it surprising that Second Life is not as popular in Hong Kong as it is in the US or the UK. It's probably because Hong Kong teens are more reserved, so they don't want to play a game that requires a lot of online interaction. This game allows me to be anything I want. In an ideal world, I would be more confident. If I were to be an animal, I would like to be a gerbil. They are so cute.

I'm impressed by this game; it's creative and funny. I would choose to be a student, so that I can travel around the world. I wouldn't want to work because I have a lot of work in real life. I'd like to fully enjoy my second life. I think the game is not yet popular in Hong Kong because it's only in English. People seeking fun or relaxation maybe put off by the amount of English words.

Top tunes: A bit of everything

I believe Second Life is a great way to make new friends online, although one must remember to be careful when playing such games. In my second life, I would like to be an animal - maybe a cat - simply because I like them. I would live in Australia, because the environment there is so much better than in Hong Kong. I'm sure my friends would like to play this game, too. It looks like fun.
