Kara's is one of those paysites that's a mainstay of the porn biz online. It's been around for years and has name recognition. The site has been around since the mid 90s when internet porn was getting going. The site has undergone some major restructuring but the general idea is this is a megasite with loads of non-exclusive porn.
The Goods:
- Tons of Content, DVDs & Pictures. The biggest thing Kara's has always had going in its favor is the massive amount of content they offer members. The current site setup features over 1k DVD movies as the centerpiece with tens of thousands of photo galleries too.
- Fun Movies from Popular Studios. The videos here cover the popular niches from a bunch of studios that produce porn DVDs. The site is geared towards a general audience looking fro hardcore action of all kinds - movies like they have are generally the most popular type of porn content.
- Pretty Easy Navigation. With so much content the member's area is simple to figure out. The DVD movies pages and picture galleries are broken up into niches with some additional options like studio and star searches for the movies.
The Bads:
- High Price & Free Access Scam. The "free lifetime access" deal they're promoting is the type of thing that gives porn sites a bad reputation for casual surfers. The reality is the monthly price here is $39.95/mo which is expensive.
- Avg Quality In-Browser Videos. Along with the price issues this is another huge item that drives surfers (and reviewers) crazy. Downloadable videos are expected nowadays so going only with in-browser streaming here puts this site behind the times. Also, the quality isn't impressive for what a movie site should be.
- Non-Exclusive Content. This point is basically just the nature of sites like this particularly in the DVD realm. It's not a big deal since they have a ton of movies from a variety of studios but it's necessary to mention in this review.
Conclusion:
Kara's current incarnation seems to be straddling the fence between an old school porn site and a current day picture and movie supersite. The collection of content is solid, especially the DVD movies, but they shoot themselves in the foot by sticking with average quality in-browser streaming videos and using the "free lifetime access" membership lure. Kara's weaknesses are in key areas that surfers look for like movie quality, downloadability, and price.
