Over its life, this live cam site has been its own entity and has also changed up and just been a copy of another site. Thankfully, it's gone back to being its own site and has the potential to be a very good one. But as it stands now there aren't enough girls online and the cam quality is generally average. The site looks good, though, offers some nice features and the per-minute price isn't bad. They need to do some work, but it's worth checking out for free and seeing which babes make you want to pay.
Need Live is a live cam site that's been around for about 10 years now and in that time they've gone through a few incarnations including being a copy of another site for a couple years. But they ditched that idea a little while back and today they're their own site, which was nice to see when I recently rediscovered them after not having visited for a while. And I will say that it's nice to be back.
The site looks good and I have no issues with the navigation either. At the top of the page is a category list and it can be expanded to reveal more niches and filters (and, yes, you can multi-select in order to narrow your search even further).
Also, when you go to a performer's cam page it's a nice setup, with the chat box right beside the cam window and her bio and info right below so you don't have to leave the page to read it. There are also some cam options that allow you to play with the color and contrast as well as zoom in and out.
Most of the babes on the site are from Eastern Europe, which is all good for me, but I can't speak for everyone. What I can speak is English and so did all the chicks I talked to, so communication has not been an issue in the least.
The advanced search engine is nice, but the site lacks one of my favorite features. If you've read my other reviews you know that I love being able to get a preview of a girl's live cam without having to click into her room (usually via hovering over her preview image). Well, they do not offer such a feature here.
Moving on to cam quality and price (maybe the two most important aspects of a live cam site), things are generally good, but not great. It appears that at this point there aren't any HD cams available, which definitely sets it back from the top sites out there.
However, overall, the cam images I saw were average to good for some and at least the frame rates were almost always very good and the movement was smooth (nothing worse than watching some chick strip with choppy frame rates).
The good news is that while the cam quality might not be as high as some of the top sites, neither is the price. You can choose the standard chat option (which allows for up to three other people to join in on the naughty times), or you can decide to go fully private 1-on-1. The prices do vary a little, but most standard chats are charging $1.99/minute and most private talks go for $2.99/minute, although they can go much higher for certain models.
While most of the performers prefer to save their nudity for private and group paid chats, some choose to do the tip thing and will show off in the free public free room. So if you or someone else gives her tips, she shows off the goods.
There's also the ability to get a VIP membership. Now, unlike other sites that will make you pay a monthly fee to become a VIP, things work a little differently here. There are two VIP periods per month and depending on when you decide to go for it, the price will be adjusted accordingly and deducted from your credits.
When you are a VIP, your chats with the models are highlighted in yellow, you don't have any daily limits when it comes to purchasing credits, and you get bonus credits when you make purchases. To be honest, I tried it once, but didn't find great value in it. But it also isn't that expensive to try and the bonus credits could make it worthwhile on its own. Just make sure you select to not have it auto renew or at least pay attention and cancel it before the end date so that you aren't re-charged automatically.
I want to mention a couple final thoughts. There's a mobile version of the site that works well, but on a negative note I've generally visited the site in the mornings and have been rather disappointed with the number of live cams available - usually about 10-20. I've been able to find girls I like with good enough cam quality, but still, those numbers aren't good.
Overall the girls are great and sexy and open and the prices are generally pretty good. But the cam quality is hit or miss and more available cams at all times would be a big plus as well. Remember, though, it's completely free to check it out and you can sign up for a free basic membership without even using a credit card, which is very cool. So, that makes it an easy recommendation and you can decide for yourself from there.
