I've been playing this game regularly for seven years, and for a couple years before that I played this game at my friend's house, before "Minecraft" was conceived.

Honestly, people leaving negative reviews because "the community sucks" probably acted like an arrogant turd and got treated like one. This game has a great community which manages to produce great projects and creations regularly, despite the small player base. Sure there's trolls, but they only affect you if you let them, you know?

There's a small learning curve to start building, but if you've played with LEGO bricks in your life you'll know what to do once you get the controls down. Once you get a hang of building, you will discover that eventing (using the wrench tool) opens up a whole new level of gameplay and really seperates this game from other LEGO-esque building games.

You can also spice up your game with amazing mods that are available on the Blockland Forums. I highly recommend checking that out if you play Blockland, seriously.

If you're not a creator, you can still enjoy other people's games that they create within Blockland. I personally enjoy adventure servers and deathmatches, but there's many of other gamemodes to enjoy.

PROS:
Good Building Mechanics
Graphics
Eventing
Weapons
Environmental Controls
Mods allow for customization
Gamemodes
Game has aged well

CONS:
Steep learning curve
Vehicles are wonky
There's not a lot of players
Sometimes things get dramatic in the community

OVERALL: 9/10

tl;dr: The game has a steep learning curve but it's good.

If you don't want to bother learning how to create things in the game you can enjoy other people's creations.

The game is as good as you want it to be.

I've played this since '09.

Good memories.

Give us refunds if you're just gonna recycle this game and rebrand it as "Godus Wars"! How DARE you start making another game without finishing the game we paid for! SCUMBAGS.

This game gives you the illusion of choice. No outcome will be drastically different. Your input matters not. Emily will never love you. Good day.

Slayer mosh pit simulator.

Even though the building controls are akward, the camera kinda sucks, and the game has a lot of bugs, I recommend buying it while it is still in Early Access. (The game will be more expensive when fully released.)

I have faith that the developers will make this a very enjoyable game, they have good ideas in store for development, and online multiplayer is coming sometime in the future.

No, I don't really recommend this as a building game right now, as it is very tedious to build anything, but I have faith they will get it right. If not, I always have Blockland!

There's some fun to be had discovering props, characters, and items though. Also, the game is very beautiful!

Haven't tried split screen, none of my IRL friends like LEGO games.

Edit over five years later: this game had a ton of potential but the potential was missed.

This game is about survival from start to finish. It's a legendary adventure, very worthy of your time.

I would describe Rocksmith as a learning tool disguised at a game. I have used it for practicing guitar and bass, and my skills have developed a lot since I started playing the game.

There is a plethora of features to be found in Rocksmith 2014, the most prominent being Learn a Song mode. In Learn a Song mode, the game basically plays similarly to Guitar Hero, except the notes may span the entire fretboard of the actual instrument you are playing (guitar/bass). When you are first beginning, the songs are watered-down. Rocksmith decides to just throw a few notes at you at a time, until you get the hang of it, then it gradually increases the complexity until you are playing it just the way it was recorded. The game registers all kinds of techniques that are used with a guitar, such as hammer-ons pull-offs, slides, bends, harmonics, palm-mutes, etc. The Real-Tone cable just knows. You can unlock new songs by doing missions, you can also buy song-packs as DLC.

Another feature I enjoy is Session Mode. It allows you to program a backing band that plays according to the scale that you are playing. It sounds really sweet and gives you a feel of playing with an actual band. Session mode also gives you some pretty good tutoring about scales, and playing with a band if you follow the in-game missions. Also, the game offers a huge amount of video based, interactive guitar lessons, to help out the newbies, and experienced players too.

Rocksmith has local multiplayer for Score-Attack mode, Session mode, and Learn a Song mode. It works great, you just need to have two of the Real-Tone cables (and two guitars, of course.)

There is a tone designer within Rocksmith, which basically allows you to choose equipment and effects for the game to synthesise. Allow me to say, the game sounds almost as good as my amplifier through my stereo, and the latency for playing a note is unnoticable. You can unlock new sounds for your guitar, just by playing the game.

Rocksmith also offers arcade-style games to help you practice with techniques, which are pretty fun, to say the least. I have put in a lot of hours just trying to get the achievements in these, and I'm still working at it.

Does anyone else play this? Add me through Steam if you do, I would love to have some friends to compare scores with and stuff. I got it around Christmas time and I'm up to 250 hours through Steam (only counting online sessions.)
