ROBLOX Reviews: ROBLOX Base Wars FPS vs Ro-Planes 2



Edition #13

Welcome to another edition of ROBLOX Reviews! I'm running out of things to say here so lets get straight onto the reviews!



Idea: 7/10
Its not that original, but this game made by Games (Owned by ROBLOX) puts a nice twist on classic CTFs on ROBLOX. First of all there are classes and they are really fun to play! The game doesn't lag at all thanks to it all being made out of terrain. Its very detailed and shows off what you can make with terrain.

Gameplay: 8/10
The map is fairly large and fun to explore and fight in. There are 5 different classes each with different weapons and stats. My favourite was the medic, who can heal people in a Team Fortress 2 style.

Scripting: 9/10
There is a fair amount of high quality scripting in this game. The guns are well scripted and so is the leaderboards, capture points and classes. It all works really well.

Environment: 9/10
Like I touched on earlier, this game is made entirely out of terrain. It certainly is very detailed however it could be more detailed using actual bricks, but this still is a great environment for a great game in general!




Enjoyment: 8/10
This game is very enjoyable and I think the great Environment, Scripting and general execution of the idea makes it that way.


Idea: 9/10
On face value this game seems to just be a flight simulator. But when you enter the game you realise it is much more. Essentially you load your plane with crates which you can then sell for money at islands. This money then enables you to fly bigger planes with bigger capacity (one assumes)

Gameplay: 7/10
The game falls down immediately with its game play. Its incredibly confusing to a newcomer. After a few minutes I found out what I had to do, by chance I found the crates. However, flying was a different matter. I never left the beginning island, it was too hard to fly. My controls failed



Scripting: 7/10
The scripting in the game is very good from picking up crates and taking them to your plane to the controls of the plane. However, some of the controls on the plane didn't do what they were supposed to. The A and D keys did not turn my plane so I ended up crashing into a building opposite the hangar and exploding.

Environment: 6/10
As I said, I haven't seen all the environments because it was so hard to fly! However, the first Island is fairly boring with just bricks to create mountains etc. It seems to be a very old way of building, with just bricks and no c-framing

Enjoyment: 6/10
This game could be very enjoyable at the start, where you are delivering cargo and making money. However, going back and forth would be fairly repetitive. However, making money means you can buy access to bigger planes and this advancement in the game might make you play for longer.

FINAL SCORES

Idea: 7/10 vs 9/10
Ro-Planes 2 wins!
Gameplay: 8/10 vs 7/10
ROBLOX Base Wars FPS wins!
Scripting: 9/10 vs 7/10
ROBLOX Base Wars FPS wins!
Environment: 9/10 vs 6/10
ROBLOX Base Wars FPS wins!
Enjoyment: 8/10 vs 6/10
ROBLOX Base Wars FPS wins!

So with a total of 4 wins out of 5, the overall winner is:

ROBLOX Base Wars FPS!
