I don't know that New Sensations' tour does a great job of letting you know what's inside. Now we don't rate tours obviously, but this specific one made the site seem like a huge mainstream porn site to me, and I don't think that's what this site is about at all. New Sensations is more of a typical amateur girl photographed by pro photographer type site. As there aren't a ton of girls willing to get naked for some random photographer, there are some "pro" amateur gals in here which is kinda normal for this type of site. But overall I just didn't feel the tour represented the members area well, just so ya know :-P
The intial member's menu was a little confusing for me, but if you wanna see their content offerings, check out the "NS exclusives" area first. Here you're presnted with 42+ pages of chicks, each page containing six girls along with a thumbnail preview and their bio. From here it links to their exclusive NS galleries. Each photo gallery has a regular and large size section, and they divide up their soft and hardcore sections for each girl for ya. Browsing around the currently available girls, I didn't see too many at all that didn't have both some softcore and some hardcore offerings. To me it had seemed like more of a softcore site, so it was good to see as many hardcore galleries as there were.
Checking out a few of the galleries, I first notice really small photos. The regular-sized pics are about 480x320, and the large-size pics are about 800x520. The larger ones to me would be good as a "medium" size, and a larger offering of 1,000+ lengths would have been much more desirable in my opinion. They do offer a zip for each gallery, which appers to give you the larger files as a keepsake. The quality of the pics isn't too bad, it's at least on par (or better than) some of the other amateur-type sites out there. It's just too bad they aren't larger! Also, there's only 12 thumbs per page which makes getting around some of the galleries rather tiring clicking next and back so much.
Videos are also offered right on the model's page which is nice. Most of them are offered in three different varieties: Quicktime, Windows Media, and Real Video with a high and low quality option of each. Unfortunately most of the high quality WinMedia clips are only about 200kbps which doesn't lend itself to great video. A few of them (about 25% it seemed) were closer to 400kbps which made for some much nicer videos. Beware of the video sections that only offer Real Video as an option as the video is very, very tiny. Only about 25% of the video sections are setup like this, but the video is so small I didn't know what to do with it. Stick to the sections that have all three options and you'll be ok.
Overall, nothing stood out for me on this site. They have quite a few models it seems, and its all exclusive material which is great. However the small photos and mediocre videos just didn't do it for me. If they started to up the quality of all their content, the site would appeal to me a lot more. But even then it'd take time to build up enough of a base of better content to make a difference. They have quite a few little extras around which should keep you busy for a bit after checking out their stuff. Overall it's not a bad site, but the content offering just holds it back too much to be a huge contender.

Review: 06-13-05 |
In terms of New Sensations itself, much is the same. Growth has come pretty steadily, though the content quality could still use some improvement. They still have all that exclusive content going for them though! The other real big news is that they offer network access now, without raising the cost thankfully. I guess as things change around here, they stay pretty much the same. I like the site still, I just wish there had been more improvement on the issues I saw last time. Maybe next time ;-)
In other new news, they've lowered the price for our users to just $15 a month making this a better deal yet than last time. Maybe that'll push you over the edge to become a member!
Score increased from 81.7 to 83.5.
