Impression

Well after looking deeper into this site I'm really of two minds here because the quality is good but the presentation is very definitely dated. I can understand a site that began in 2001 and still presents its content in the same way it did back then. Changing a site over to a new way of presentation can be very difficult and very time consuming but starting a site in 2004 and not incorporating the latest trends is hard to understand.

For example, back in 2001 navigation between the big pictures in a gallery of images was almost unheard of but by 2004 many new sites were appearing that gave members the chance to move between the big pictures without continually returning to the gallery pages. The big pictures were starting to appear in bigger screen sizes too and new images that were 640 pixels on the longest side were beginning to disappear.

Mike in Brazil provides no navigation between individual images and members have to constantly use their browser's back button to go back to the gallery page. The big picture is no bigger than 640 pixels on the longest side.

But having said all that I now have to tell you that the quality of the content is excellent. The images are sharp, the action is explicit and the camera really does get you in close so that you get the feeling you're right there with the action. Members also get the opportunity to download each image gallery as a zip file so that you don't have to click your way through the images.

I can also tell you that there are lots of images. The number of photos in each gallery range from around 100 to well over 200. Each set of images is neatly thumbnailed - although the thumbnails are a little small by today's standards - and the thumbnails are spread across a number of gallery pages. All the gallery pages in each update are interlinked but those big pictures are not.

The video is for each girl is added in three stages throughout the week. Each update is available in short one minute clips or as a longer update. Members can choose to either download or stream the clips or download the full update.

Downloads come down the line very quickly and downloading the full update is a good way to build up your own stash of great porn. Streaming also happens very quickly and members can select file sizes suitable for slow or broadband Internet connections.

I streamed the clips via the broadband connection and found that there were no delays at all due to buffering. There was a short delay before each clip started but once it was playing it went right through to the end. The streaming clips play on an embedded media player that opens up with a very reasonable screen size. Members don't have to guess what they are going to see in each clip because they are linked from a good-sized thumbnail that shows clearly what level of action you will find behind the link.

The quality of the video is so high that you can always kick the player up to full-screen mode without any noticeable loss of quality.

On the tour members were promised five bonus sites but you will find that members actually get access to 15 bonus sites and every one of those sites is loaded with hardcore images and uncensored video. The bonus sites cover a wide range of topics and the quality of all of them is comparable to Mike in Brazil.

So what's the bottom line was I being unfair in my first impressions? Well, I don't think so; the design is definitely dated and members' areas of sites that appeared around the same time as Mike in Brazil do make the whole experience better for members.

But Mike in Brazil certainly does deliver some excellent Brazilian hardcore porn and if you like to find your babes in the swinging beaches of that great South American country then you will enjoy this site

Conclusion

It's a reasonable site that could be better and if there were no bonus sites associated with it I would suggest that Mike in Brazil was probably not worth joining. However there are 15 other sites that deliver a huge amount of quality hardcore porn and when you factor in those bonus sites then Mike in Brazil does become good value for money.
