Adult Kingdom is a mega site providing hundreds of pictures and videos under a myriad of popular hardcore niches. The site gets updated on a daily basis and also includes a selection of video stream theaters, and an assortment of DVD quality streaming sites. If your looking for some variety in your porn, and love picture content just as much as you do videos, then read the review to see if this is the site for you.
If there's one thing Adult Kingdom delivers on, it would have to be a wide variety of porn. But from what I've seen so far this is probably the best aspect of the site as it has a few rough edges which really got to me. To name some of the more popular hardcore niches the site covers, there's anal, young adults, toys, double penetration, and group sex, there are even a few fetish scenes thrown in to keep fetish fans in the loop. Updates occur daily so there's always something new to check out, all up there's a total of over 130 episodes and over 900 picture galleries for members to enjoy.
The state of the video content at the moment is quite a mish mash. There are 3 formats to choose from being Mpegs, Avi, and Wmvs, but what got to me was that episodes only come in one of these formats, as there's no real structure. Take for instance, if an episode is in Avi it's only available in Avi and nothing else, this really limits the download options, and could put members on a dial-up connection at a disadvantage, as all the episodes are only available in full scenes which can get up to 100-400MBs.
As for quality the episodes can either be really good, or really bad depending on what format the video is in, so consistency isn't exactly the site's strong point. Out of the three formats the Avis come out on top with a very decent encoding rate of roughly 1500kbps with a resolution of 320x240. Next are the Mpegs these come in 350x240 at a mediocre 300kbps. At the bottom of the ladder are the Wmvs these are also encoded in a bit rate of 300kbps but with a smaller resolution of 240x160.
In addition to the video content there are over 900 picture galleries containing roughly 70 images each. Like the video content these are quite diverse covering a total of 20 different hardcore niches. The images have been compressed to fit snuggly into the browser, in the process they've ruined what would have been great images. You can tell by the distorted and rough outlines of the models.
Extra content comes in the form of 141 video stream theaters, 5 DVD quality streaming sites, and 6 bonus sites which include information on sex, enlarging your penis, and other articles to spice up your sex life. These really add to the value of the fairly pricey membership, though they didn't change my mind in what I thought of the website overall. At the end of the day I found myself quite underwhelmed with what's on offer here, though I will give it credit for the variety of hardcore scenes provided.
The Adult Kingdom site actually looks pretty nice as far as general presentation goes, and every thing seems to be working order, so although the content wasn't overly impressive the navigation of the site is fairly good. When you first make your way to the members area you'll notice a steamy looking banner with a number of thumbnail links situated just below. These thumbnails will take you to the picture galleries, videos section, the daily updates, bonus sites, and the collection of 141 streaming video theaters.
Further down the members area you'll come across information on the latest 12 updates, and the upcoming 12 updates. This will definately keep the members happy in knowing that there will be something new to check out the very next day. Beneath the updated section is where you can choose which hardcore niche you want to indulge in. Clicking on any one of these thumbnail links will present you with all the videos and picture galleries which fall under your chosen niche.
The video galleries are very simple to browse, and there's a lot of information about the video itself, including the size of the video file, how long the video runs for, and you can even check out the preview clip before downloading the entire scene. This feature comes in handy if your trying to cut back on your bandwidth usage. The video galleries are made up of 8 pages with 60 episodes on the first page, and 10 on the remaining 7 pages.
If you ever need a break from all the hardcore content available on this site, you can sink your teeth into the 7 other porn sites members gain full access to at no extra charge. The thumbnail links to these sites can be found towards the very bottom of the home page. These bonus sites cover niches such as young adults, lesbian, Milfs, sex parties, amateurs, and my favorite a site which features big name celebrities. There's also information stating that there's more bonus sites coming soon, these really add to the already diverse variety of porn on offer.
Adult Kingdom definately has it's fair share of rough edges. With inconsistent video quality, mediocre picture image, and navigation which makes you feel as though your running in circles, it's not on my top list of favorite mega sites. It really needs to expand on download options and a solid structure with the videos as it's very messy at the moment. What I did find quite impressive though was the fact that they stay true to their promise of daily updates.
