Haha! I remember playing this (cause I didn't want to spend money at the real deal). The game can't handle more than 300-400 bricks, after that it gets really laggy. The vehicles are garbage, the items are bad, and hosting servers was near to impossible. Also, the community was really small and un-friendly.
I don't regret buying BL. It's like a whole different game! Though I miss the possibility of rotating bricks freely around the x-,y- and z-axis :/ You can't have everything, I guess...
