Okay, so I don't particularly appreciate this so-called "high concept" pornography that promises one thing but doesn't deliver it whatsoever. The splashy guest page for VirtualChicks.com assures we fellow surfers that we'll be able to control the action as we go along, making the actress do what we want when we want them to do. Virtual reality smut, essentially.
But don't break out your dorky helmet and sensor pads just yet. The material on VirtualChicks.com plays out as little more than your average point-of-view website. You don't have a Vivid Video-esque DVD option where you can select angles or anything like that. Essentially, you have to watch the scenes play out. Yay. Break out the streamers.
I suppose it helps some that you have sexy dames like Latin jalapeno pepper Finesse Navarro on board stretching her asspipe out to receive the dick or slobbing down a knob or two. And it's pretty cool that each scene and women have individual themes: Your obligatory virtual "teacher" is none other than hottie Jayna Oso, and you've even got a machine gun-toting mercenary with a penchant for cock played by dark-haired ravenness Eva. Helps that if the concept is gonna fall to shit that the chicks at least be hot, because we did come to jerk, right?
There are 15 "virtual" scenes in all; not great by most standards, but not half-bad by the network's. The videos are viewable via a low and medium bandwidth standalone player. You can also download them in Windows Media Video, via modem and broadband-quality in five pieces. Or you can go for the Full Monty and download the full movie in Xvid format. There aren't any picture galleries, although I'm not entirely sure how they would translate in these scenes anyway.
On top of the 15 scenes, you have access to a whole network full of the good stuff. The Wild Porn Pass network is a comprehensive collection of sites and materials, of which VirtualChicks.com is only one of 43. For $24.95, you get it all. The other sites come from various different genres, and they all have pretty much the same dynamic: high-quality yet dismally minimal material. Good thing the network also has some standalone DVD-quality material available to download. The focus on updates, mixed with the wide variance of material, almost make up for this sham of a site. Almost.
