Crystal Space has performance issues. These guys added a bunch of features to it without optimizing them for performance. When I brought up the performance issues to them, they said "we'll fix them in next version"...that was 5 years ago...the problem still exists and actually is worse. They have a "looks first, performance second" mentality.

In addition, there is also a very limited toolset. No level editor. Someone is trying to make one, but the way Crystal Space renders is making it real hard to make anything for it.

If you want a good free engine, go with Ogre or Irrlicht. If you have $150, go with the Torque Game Engine.
