No, it's not a game. It's a system for people to communicate over the internet, but using a 3D virtual world instead of the old chat windows and such. Everyone has a 3D avatar which they can customize, etc. It seems to be heading for great success. You can read about it on wikipedia
Actually, it's a lot more like a game than you think. It's definitely a lot more than a communication system. I've never tried it personally, but you can buy/sell virtual property, run a virtual business. There have even been cases of people being scammed in the virtual world. Oh, and people spend real-world money on this game too. Looking at the second life website, you can buy a virtual island for the bargain price of $1000-$2000 USD. Hans
