Torturing for pleasure? He's mostly just roasting him to death like Lust. Sure, he's enjoying the fact that Envy's suffers, but all his attacks are pretty tactical--either full body explosions, or shots to the eyes. The only exception was the mouth burn.

As for being no different from Envy...that's painting with a gross brush. When Roy kills a kid to start a civil war, I'll agree. But enjoying the fact that the enemy who murdered your friend suffers while you're trying to blow him to bits? Not really the same.
Roy deliberately waits for Envy to fully regenerate after every attack so he can inflict more pain on him. He could have killed him in the same room he killed Lust, but he wants to make it an agonizing death for envy.

He's literally toying with him.
