+ The minecraft-style building is great, it's not a fluid as mc but the block placement system is good
+ Graphics and the 'look' of the game work well, just like mc does funny that...
- The team based FPS mechanics work, however its feels like playing tf2, which is both free and better.... uh oh!
- I find FPSs mind-numbingly boring, this game isn't revolutionary so it isn't going to change that
- There are a lot of games out there
very
similar to this, you can effective play this exact game with the mc base game (a significantly better purchase than bnl). This is something my younger brother has devoted many hours to as he enjoys these repetitive games however I doubt he'd be interested in paying to play bnl when he can have the same experience using minecraft and going on a PVP sever....
Jagex you desperately need to come up with something original - there is nothing interesting or new about bnl! Its purely been created to cash in on mcs success, and that makes me really rather sad. I struggle to see how you cannot understand that RuneScape succeeded due to its originality and affordability which made people want to talk about it and tell all their friends, it ensnared a generation and created a very loyal following. I do except that it is partially a product of its time and there were vastly fewer alternatives when RuneScape first started, and the games industry has changed.
I have long feared that a large amount of the creativity within your company was lost when the Andrew and Paul left; sadly this game is living proof of that.
