It isAlmost 6 years ago my brother and I downloaded the demo for this game. We really liked it and bought the full game a few months later. It is still my favorite game and I have a feeling it always will be. The online community and the forums are not very good but you will learn to live with them and make some friends. Also, people can give you a really hard time if you are just starting out. I would still rate this much higher than a 10 if could. I am a devoted Blocklander forever!… Expand

It's got a huge amount of longevity, because one can keep installing new add-ons very easily, or join servers and play things others have created. As a personal experience, I have played this game for over 4 years now, and it's well worth the one-time-payment of 20 dollars.… Expand

   mom alway says "GET OFF THE COMPTUER AND pLAY WITH REAL LEGO" even after i get whiped 4 playing 2 much the fun is always enjoyable and good. the comunity is always a blumper of fun thers many nice people like my friend amyrose111 and theres some bad people 2 but its ok just have friends to talk too. the maps like birdroom and slopers used 2 be fun but therss even newer features and builds 2 make more fun 2 play with. everyone body should liuke this game even the people who dont should like this game the game is a wel developed and india game only available on dell and mac so if u have a xbox or ps u might need a gamers computer to play it on maxx options.
   
   the endlessness is limitles in this game of endless posibilities theres so muych out there to do u can event your build 2 make it do stuff like EXPLOODE or make a ship that shoots ro make a house with working!! lights. you can share ur stuff with freinds and play on it weather it be fighting racing rping or exploreing theres so much to do.
   
   now that thats all said and over lets get down 2 the hinkle dinkle and talk abouut the cold hard dollas and let me tell ya its worth all them. this game is 20 dollars on 2 buy and theres some times sales i saw it for as low as 5 dollers one time i saw it low as 5 dollers. the money goes well paid when u pop it up and play the game your're sure 2 be in for a treat.
   
   block land also comes with its mechendise like a block land BOOK i found contaigning blockland jokes, recipes, poems, and histrory (dont worry it has pictures not boring). theres exerppts from famous block land authors like blockivelli and plateo and poem from the block land first age. heres a sneak peak of a joke its a REAL knee slapper
   joke: why did the spammer delete the dam???
   answer: he didnt like flood protection!! XD
   
   wheter it be t shirts, books, or the game itselve, block land is worth every buck. happy blockin!!… Expand

Been playing since 07 when I purchased the game. The game has gone through MANY MANY cycles of development. Some of user created material has become default. (Builds, Add-ons, Event System)
   
   The reasons why It doesn't get a 10 from me is because..
   
   1. The forum community is very harsh, and isn't child friendly despite its large sum are kids.
   If you're buying this for your son/daughter, do not let them go onto the forums. As long as you're communicating in-game, you're golden. Most players are very friendly and are willing to help new players.
   People on the forums play the forums, not the game.
   
   2. The recent UI overhaul to Blockland makes creating a server a pain. Very minor, most people won't be hosting servers unless it's single player.
   
   3. No more terrain/interior maps. Every map is a clean slate. The previous bedroom and kitchen maps were taken out to make room for a shader overhaul to the game's engine.
   
   Other than that, it's a great experience. Legos without the mess!… Expand

The game is truly unique based on modding alone, you can reallyIt pains me to give this game a low score, as the game itself is really good. The game is truly unique based on modding alone, you can really do some nice things here without needing to butcher the game. Most of my recent experience with the game was learning to mod the game, and making some nice projects! Even if you don't know how to code(the game uses torquescript) there is an ingame "event system" where you can assign events to individual bricks to make them do things. 'Pseudocode' if you catch my drift.
   
   However, after playing this game for years... I have to say everything this game has to offer has been exhausted. The community is not as large as it was when I started playing it as a kid back in 2008(give or take one year), modding is not as big or as encouraged as it was, the remaining community has a much more negative tone, is an echo chamber, and fun is no longer had or allowed. The game typically has 100 to 300 people online, with the higher numbers occuring during morning hours in the Americas.
   
   Part of me wishes this game became grossly overexposed like minecraft has instead of what the game is now... Surely anything would be better than its current state. Just check out the official forums, there is a 'Drama' board dedicated to ruining the reputation of the innocent. There's even been instances of personal info being exposed and even swatting of one user(or possibly more I don't know about) who were just saying mean things online in a chatroom of a competitive video game server that might have hurt people's little feelings. What the heck. There's also some real bad 'superuser' hierarchy stuff going on, these users being barely known outside of the Blockland community. The developer has also banned people from his services for providing civilized constructive criticism.
   
   Buy it only for the game, and only if you want to play with your group of friends, isolated from the remaining community. I cannot stress this enough! Interacting with the community could be dangerous and it is one of the reasons I left. I'm going to keep playing with my friends and probably experiment with modding when alone.
   
   Just a slight warning: Apparently the mac port is nearly unplayable according to what people have told me. Don't take my word for it though, I'm not the one to go asking what's new with the game… Expand
