We're going on an adventure! mario102
So, there it is. Minecraft for the Xbox One. I'll talk about each individual section, and then I'll talk just about some features and other things of that sort.

Graphics - 10/10

It may not seem like anything at first, but the game is truly wonderful when you think about the graphics. This version of Minecraft uses the Xbox One's HD capabilities to the fullest. All blocks, although all textures are 16-bit, look just amazing. And once you use one of the many texture packs available on the Xbox Store, oh my goodness. It's just beautiful!

Sound - 8/10

In my opinion, I don't think that the sound is really well. Noises are perfect, but the music isn't. Sometimes, I don't want to listen to the music at all (there's background music), but I have a Jukebox available with Music Discs. I either have to listen to the background music or have no music at all. May not seem as anything bad at first, but you'll notice it once your in a cave and then some scary music creeps up behind you.

Addictiveness - 7/10

Well, it's Minecraft, so there's no way you're only going to play it once. But, there are more appealing games on the Xbox One that I would like to play instead of Minecraft. But there's always that time, once in a while where I'll play some Minecraft. It can also spread throughout people. If you don't know what I mean, let me explain this to you. If one person has Minecraft, another person might want to play with that person and so he gets Minecraft. You see how it works? And then, a lot of people have Minecraft.

Story - 6/10

See, now, the main point of the story is to defeat the Ender Dragon. Now, that never actually has to be accomplished, because it just doesn't. You can just roam free around the world and do whatever you want. So, there is no real point of the game - just live and build.

Depth - 10/10

You might think that this should be lower, but it isn't. You can do absolutely anything you want in Minecraft. You can build a house (or a castle), shoot monsters, or trade with Villagers. You can invite friends over Xbox Live Party and build together.

Difficulty - 6/10

Now, there are multiple modes of game play. But, let me talk about learning the controls of the game, crafting recipes, and other things. The crafting recipes are hard. You don't know how to craft anything with the drag and drop. You have to look up almost every single recipe. The Redstone is horrible. You need to look at tutorials or read them. There's a guide for everything in Minecraft because it's pretty hard. The controls, however, are pretty easy. You can get the hang of them easily, whether you've never played Minecraft before or your an expert on Minecraft.

So, Minecraft should be a fun game for you and your friends! You can play with up to 3 more friends or family members on the same screen, and 7 friends over Xbox Live! You can also use a combination of both. But, I think once you get the game, you'll enjoy it!

If this ever goes on sale for the ONE, I'll probably get it.
