Roblox

Roblox is an online building game where you play with customizable blocks. Fight with rockets, ride trains, do practically whatever you want. Unike most other games, there aren't any pre-defined goals, you are given blocks and left to do whatever you want.

With your free account, you get a Character and a Place. You can customize your place however you want, and visit anyone else's place as well.

With over 13,000 players, there is plenty of creativity to go around. Every world is user-created. There are many, ranging from a Maglev that you can ride, to a pirate ship that you can destroy, to a Capture-the-flag map with working vehicles.

Code with Lua, the simple and easy-to-learn programming language, you can do practically whatever you cant think up. Several users have created great things, like trains, planes, cars, factories, tanks, police stations, rockets, the list goes on and on.

Come on in and join the fun, there is plenty of room for more.

Bottom Line: Jesus Christ, what are these devs thinking?
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!
