Adult Reality Pass is a network of reality/video sites. There are a lot of competing networks out there and Adult Reality Pass does focus more on actual reality concepts than simple niche videos (which seems to be a trend that's more and more common). Many times companies use the "reality" term loosely but when it comes to this network it does indeed apply to many of the sites.
The Goods:
- Lots of Exclusive Video Episodes. All told the network has hundreds of video episodes original to this company. Just about all the movies feature hardcore banging of all sorts whether it's guy/girl, groups, or girl/girl. There's a bunch of sexy chicks throughout the network and the performers seem to have a fun time putting on a show for the camera.
- Some Interesting Reality Niches. They have some concepts that you don't run across on networks all that often. A few good examples are Big Sausage Pizza, Euro Bride Tryouts, Cheerleader Auditions, and Hardcore Partying. For those interested there are a lot of cheesy reality pick-up openings to scenes in this collection. Those can be good for a chuckle sometimes.
- Consistent Updates w/ Long History. The network hub page and each site have update bars listing all additions across the network. The list dates back for a couple years which I'm guessing is when the network went online. I've seen numerous networks that have given up on updating so this one's track record is definitely a positive.
The Bads:
- Short MPEG Clips, DRM'd WMV files. Videos are offered as MPEG and WMV clips. The MPEGS are short 1-minute clips so it's painstaking to watch or download an episode with those. The WMV are longer clips but they are DRM'd. Full movie clips aren't available. Basically they have several hurdles that make viewing and saving movies to your computer much more difficult than it should be.
- Conflicting Included Site Info. The tour says the network has 10 sites and then I found different info inside the actual member's area. One place said 13 and another page said 14. More sites is obviously better and I assume they've grown since launching the initial collection but they need to keep the info up to date for members and potential members.
- High Monthly Price. This is real drag since it's on the high end of what paysite charge. Most networks of this kind top out at $30 so this one's price tag seems very expensive.
Conclusion:
Adult Reality Pass has a foundation of original reality concepts and in that respect it's a well conceived network on par with what I expect from reality/video networks. That foundation is definitely hurt though by the downloading and price issues. Those issues are more and more important nowadays and surfers are less and less likely to be accepting of difficult downloading and high membership prices.
