This review compares two game greats. ROBLOXs "Welcome to ROBLOX Building" and its apparant clone "Sandbox" by REDALERT2
But which is better? Continue reading!
Idea: 10/10
The idea behind this place is very original. It was the first place of its kind. A place where you could play with your friends and build together. The game also includes testing of new featureson ROBLOX. So players test while having fun.
Gameplay: 7/10
The idea behind the game is great, however, the gameplay isn't amazing. You just build, and only on your plot at that. However, you can have great fun with wiring and also trap people in your place. Though that is a tad mean. You can create amazing structures here.
One problem is however, theres is a block limit, and this can reduce what you can build if you want to use alot of blocks.

There is alot of scripting in this place. The helper bot can lead you to your baseplate. You can "like" someones plot, and clear your own. There is an experience system which awards you for placing and clearing blocks (with a few points for staying online)
Wiring works perfectly, it is well coded, but not especially scripted for this game, which is also the same for the stamper parts. Data persistance is used here so your creations are saved.
Enviroment: 4/10
The enviroment is pretty basic. There are baseplates. However, you are in a room with a door and a window. Thats pretty cool, but doesn't reall add much in the way of an enviroment.
Enjoyment: 7/10
Playing with your friends makes this game so fun. If you're not playing with your friends, then experimenting with wiring and building great creations is also fun.
Idea: 8/10
Even though the game looks alot like Welcome to ROBLOX Building. It is not entirely the same. When you enter; theres a dedicated chat. ROBLOX chat is gone. Theres a similar stamper tool, but it has different functions. However, there is not doubt that this was based of WTRB. It came out at the same time.
Gameplay: 7/10
The gameplay is very similar to WTRBs gameplay. The insert tool is called "Shovel" and the delete tool is called "flatten". The game is fairly easy to use, and the GUI's are good.
Building is easy, and in a building game: thats important.

Scripting: 9/10
This game does not have core ROBLOX elements in it. No chat for a start. The stamper tool is not the same and neither is the delete tool. There are many configurable options. These were all scripted really well by the games creator, and there is much more scripting going on here. Best of all; it works, which is incredible for so much of it. There are some things which break a bit, but they don't hinder gameplay.
Enviroment: 2/10
The enviroment is very bad. Its just a box, with sand. Hence the name. There is a bucket in the middle, but it is still a very boring world.
Enjoyment: 5/10
This game is quite boring, there aren't as many stamper tools, and the enviroment is quite dull. It is still a fairly good experience, but it isn't amazing.
FINAL SCORES.
