Even though it features Lua, one of my favorite coding languages, it just is not worth playing. It is web-browser based, and runs very slow. The creators didn't spend much time working on the actual design of the game. However, I gave the graphics a 3/5 because it does have very nice physics. However, since I play a game called Blockland, we have also gotten a lot of spam on our forums, saying this is better, and they do not have any good reasons. Do not get this game.

I also have to STRONGLY agree with Sampapa about this. What WERE the devs thinking?

I had to review this again because of those Blockland jerks saying this game is crap when it's better than Blockland. They are just Jealous that Roblox has a better community, Better gameplay, A physics engine, More features, And that the creator is making more money than the creator of Blockland.

This game is great. The only bad part is that it's in Beta. It was way more glitchy in the Alpha stage back in 2005, though.

This game has no limits except your imagination and one's scripting skills. The possibilities are endless when a good .Lua scripter hits the scene. So far I have seen a ton of different games, Such as :RPGs, FPSs, Tycoons, And building places.

I swear, this is the best online game I've ever played. Blockland is horrible compared to this game. With this game you can Make your own Torso decals that are visible to everyone unlike in Blockland where the person needs to Download it to see it.

This game offers an optional $5 a month add on subscription which lets you: Sell the Torso Decals you make for Robux or Tickets and you receive the Profit, Get a daily amount of 15 Robux a day, And lets you have 10 Places at the same time.

I suggest you either quit Blockland if you play and switch over to Roblox, Or stop thinking about buying Blockland for $20 and play this better game for free.

This game is better as an engine and building tool, than an actual toy in its base state. Fortunately, it is open to expansions via code. It has interesting game-modes, you can fly (though it's confusing for some, namely me), you can run a bread tycoon, you can build, you can play paintball or a normal deathmatch, you can make your own shirts and hats.

Roblox is an awesome game, not only for kids but older kids too. Roblox combines the fun of legos and programing in one amazing game. I highly recommend trying this game out, you will love building and battling in a new and excited vitural world of Legos! On top of all that you can make friends, post forums about all different kinds of things, and visit other players lego room creations! After you get into the game you can try getting all of the badges!, but you will need to work hard making your place famous and work hard bloxxing (killing) other players! All and all this game is one of my top favorites and i hope you can play it, Have Fun!

ROBLOX for me is the best thing ever to have come out of free, online, simulation games.

The gameplay deserves a 4 star. The editor gives you the power to build amazing maps, brick by brick. It also allows you to implement LUA at the same time. I find that pretty amazing how they could possibly put that much into it.

I think graphics also deserve a 4. Each week I've seen their graphics improving, from improved anti-aliasing, to shadows.

I'm not quite sure what replay value means. I'm guessing that it means if you want to play it again. I think that this is a game that never gets boring. There's so many possibilities.

Now fun factor gets a 5. I find simulation games very fun, especially when you get to blow up towers with rocket launchers.


Now you guys have to remember that ROBLOX is still growing. They update it pretty much every 2 weeks, each time making it better and better. Yes, lag can also be a problem, but that relies on other factors, as well. I want to also remind you that there are some Button-happy-8-year-olds playing, so the age kind of explains it.


And finally, to go with the learning curve, I said it takes awhile. First of all, it took me about an hour to get the basics of the editor. Also, you either have to know some LUA or at least want know a little about scripting in general to be able to make custom scripts. That's the only reason it takes awhile to learn.

Im gonna use this as an excuse to rag on the developers of this game. UMMMM HELLO?

What are these developers possibly thinking? A little to much pride. First off, I wanna rag how they don't even follow their own rules. First, I accidentally swore when playing this game, which is against the rules, but still. Some 8 year old reported me for kicking their butts in a dog fight. Now, normally I wouldn't have a problem, but I got banned. According to the Devs, this was my first offense, thus I should be warned, not banned. Hmm, I guess its coz I played Blockland.

This leads to my second complaint, the devs are walking around ragging on Blockland because Roblox uses Lua. So, why dont you put it to use and make a swear blocker? Lua is nice, but its almost as if the devs dont know how to use it. There are so many bugs its not even funny.

Hmm, I guess I should move to game play..

Ahem
Roblox is a fun game to play...most of the time. It currently is in Alpha, and has way to many bugs. Its almost as if they just threw code together, published it and said "Hey, lets make it Lua so we can have to community make what we are to lazy to fix lolol"

The Gameplay is nice, its really easy to pick up and play.The building can not be the same. The studio makes things easier to build with, but if your trying to build in peoples servers, prepare for frustration. Your gonna end up like me and yelling at the computer "NO! I DONT WANT THE BLOCK THERE! I FREAKING WANT IT BETWEEN THOSE TWO BRICKS. AHHH" Then again, its alpha, maybe they will incoperate more of Blockalnd building. Because this style...well sucks.

I hate to move in Roblox, seriously. Heres how my normal moves work in it. I try to turn left on a narrow platform using A. But it moves me forward, then left, making me fall off the platform. ATTENTION ROBLOX DEVS: WHEN I WANT TO MOVE LEFT, I WANT TO MOVE LEFT, NOT FORWARD THEN LEFT.

As for the graphics, its alright, I kinda like it The worlds are nice, but then again, whats to be said. Theres no landscape maps, so it gets boring fast. Thank god for that Paintball and Aircraft carrier server.

I seriously suggest you dont try this game, unless your bored and have nothing to do. Hey! You might find me playing it when im bored. Add me: Sampapa. We can be bored together!

As ia said, you need 1 Megabit per second or more to run all servers without lag

The .Lua Scripts is great, since this make sure you can do other stuff then just build

The graphics is not that great, yet the go wild on my vista Laptop with a Mobility readion X1300 128 mb Card - this Pc can Run the Source Engine and WoW without problems

It's easy to learn but unless you find . lua servers - it's gonna get repetevite After one or two games

3/5

This game has many features a free online game wouldn't have, it has an incredible physics engine, you get free web space for your server, and best of all your server is up 24/7 so you don't need to host a dedicated server, there's no porn in this game because it has such a great administration and moderation team. this game is better then Blockland, i'd pay $100 for this game if i had to.

Its mainly a rip-off of Lego. Its the perfect game if you want to build. You can make buildings, obstacle courses, planes, cars, games, anything. Make tools to use like rocket launchers, super jumps, slingshots and bombs. Its highly interactive and entirely player made. If you know actionscript then you'll be better at making things in game. You'll love it if you play it. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED.

After playing this game for a bit, I realized that this game is extreamly annoying. It does have great replay value, but the graphics are lacking considerably. not only that, it's very confusing for beginners, and has a gigantic learning curve. the only good part about this game is it's physics, which are also lacking, and it's scripting, Lua, which is nice. The server-picking and such are confusing and stupid. I would greatly recommend player a more advanced game, like Blockland, as it has a much lower learning curve. Lastly, there are \\\"kill\\\" bricks, and no trust system (meaning anyone can destroy your build as they please). It's a nice game, it just feels like the developers were working on more obvious things, instead of working on the things that really matter. The update system is also horrible, requiring you to restart your computer.

This game has legos, lots and lots of legos! You build with them, and you destroy with them! This game has tons of replay value, and it's online too! Another great thing, is the graphics, not incredible, but they're amazing considering this game is only 4MBs! I would recommend this game highly to anyone in the mood for a good time!
