In Minecraft you're a character that lives in a block-filled world and you need to gather supplies to survive the night from monsters like zombies and skeletons. Just as the title says you have to mine and craft. If you mine minerals like iron or diamond you can get armor and weapons and tools. In creative mode you have unlimited of everything and you can build whatever you want. Some people work for weeks or even months to make things in minecraft.
GRAPHICS - 9: The block-like graphics give the game a retro feeling.
SOUND - 9: The music in this game is relaxing.
ADDICTIVENESS - 10: There are different worlds to spawn in, caves to mine in, and places to explore.
STORY - BLANK: There is no story really.
DEPTH - 10: There is so much to do in this game it's crazy! And there are even mods in the PC version.
DIFFICULTY - 4: There are 4 settings for difficulty: peaceful (no monsters,) easy, normal, or hard. 4 is how I think the difficulty is but others may think differently.
OVERALL - 9.5: $20 for this game is totally worth it.

nice review i enjoyed reading it. i dont really like minecraft that much because the graphics are like lego blocks but i have never played it before so i might try it some time

I really like your review claudevandog. I play Minecraft a lot (PC version) and played the Xbox 360 version, I liked the Xbox version overall, but I have one thing to disagree with your review: the difficulty. In the PC version you can change the difficulty on command from 4 different settings: Peaceful (no monsters and no hunger),Easy (hunger and monsters), Normal (monsters are stronger and have more health),and Hard (strongest monsters and huge life bars). And in the PC version, there's Hardcore, where it's lock in hard mode and if you die, the world is deleted, but I'm not sure if the feature is in Xbox 360 version.

Oh right I forgot about the difficulty settings! My bad.

Decent review although I wish you would've given a little more detail as to what the actual point of the game is and a little more depth as to what the actual objective is and a little more of the positives and negatives.

I've played this game before but I'm just looking at the review from the point of view of someone who has never played the game before.

As far as the game itself goes I appreciate what it is but I personally get bored with it very quickly. It does not hold my interest for more than 10-20 mins at a time.

I wouldn't give this games graphics that high of a score either and trust me I APPRECIATE "Retro" style graphics. I have seen people make some great things in this game but the graphics on their own are not that great. They don't need to be, but that's for sure not the games strong point. The only way the graphics are GREAT IMHO are if someone builds something really awesome.

Personally I think a game like Terraria has much better stand-alone graphics.

Not one of the best reviews out there, but this one is fine.

Is it true that the Xbox 360 minecraft is similar to a old version of the PC minecraft game?

I have Minecraft for the computer and I never understood what all the fuss about it. All you do is build stuff, explore caves and farm... I much prefer my Skyrim and TF2
