The Best Game Ever! RetroGameNinja
Overall - 10:
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is a sandbox game where you can do anything (almost), and it is probably one of the best games you'll find on the Xbox 360 Marketplace. In this game, you can explore the world and build structures to protect yourself from the vicious monsters that come out at night. As you move along in this game, you can also mine for ores, craft tools and blocks, build awesome structures, and roam the biomes in search of generated structures (Like Villages, Strongholds, Dungeons, and more!).
Graphics - 10:
Some people hate Minecraft's graphics because the game is made of blocks, but I think Minecraft's graphics are great! You can sit atop a mountain whilst watching a beautiful sunset. Not many other games let you do that. Also, the block textures (Though only 16 by 16) are very detailed.
Sound - 10:
Minecraft also has amazing sound/music. The in-game music is very calm and relaxing, fitting in with the game's beautiful scenery (If you happen to be on peaceful, that is). There are also many music discs that play great songs (Well, some of them, not so much), and the game's sounds are very realistic.
Addictiveness - 10:
Will I be likely to play this again? Of course I will! Even though I have Minecraft on the PC, the Xbox version lags less (For me, at least) and it's easier to join a server with some of my good friends. Also, the tutorial world is awesome and the Ender Dragon battle is amplified on the Xbox version (He spews acid and fire charges).
Depth - 10:
Need I say more? Minecraft, even on other systems, is basically INFINITE. If you run out of space on one world (Which is unlikely because the worlds are about 860 by 860), you can just start another. You can build anything and the game never ends! (Besides 'The End', which you can even explore the world after). There is so much to do!
Difficulty - 7:
Minecraft is pretty hard. There are many monsters that you have to fight off while also making sure you don't get too hungry. If you have more than one 'Corn Dog' missing from your hunger bar, you will not regain health naturally. If you die, you will lose all of your stuff and respawn where you originally spawned or next to the last bed you slept in (If you happened to have slept in one). You can die by falling, getting killed, burning, being crushed by sand or gravel, being blown up, running into a cactus, suffocating, drowning, and many more.
Wrap Up:
To wrap this review up, if you like sandbox construction games, such as Scribblenauts, Roblox, and Terraria, you should get Minecraft. If you do not have an Xbox 360, you can get it on the PC, PS3, and phones/tablets. It will also be coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PS Vita (Sadly, there is no news about Minecraft coming to Nintendo consoles D:).
So, that's it for my review. I hope you enjoyed it. I will see you later, so bye!

Minecraft- Lego? What's that never heard of it. tobester boss
Anyone realize most modern games these days are either about punching/shooting terrorists and/or zombies so to see a in die game that makes you use your brain and do something more complicated than use gun on thing already gets applause from me but Minecraft actually is good enough to stand on its own feet. Lets see why and lets see wheat's hiding beneath the surface of this game (puns!!), as far as story goes... there isn't one (10/10 A star 100%!) but in all seriousness how could they make a story in this game, granted they give the game an ending with a cool fight against a dragon and some pretentious text but that's it for a story. So why does everybody go nuts over this game well, join me in the next paragraph.
The meat of Minecraft is exploring caves,cliffs,deserts as well as fields and snow forests and jungles or biomes as fans say, you need resources such as wood and sticks to make anything but the game doesn't really tell you that you just spawn in and poof your on your own of coarse you need to things such as punch pigs to get pork to cook in a furnace with coal and punch trees to get wood to make wooden planks to make sticks to get a pick ax and a crafting table so you can get stone and coal to make torches and walls and better pickaxes but you would never know any of this if no-one told you and most people didn't know this, granted there are handbooks now but who honestly says yeah I read the official Minecraft handbook, no-one says that because why would there need to be a official handbook simple because if you don't have set goals to achieve you'll just wonder around and when nights falls spiders, skeletons zombies and creepers emerge out of caves and roam around once they see you they won't stop until you are dead.
I know I've been ragging and hating on this game but now for the good stuff I love the soundtrack its soothing and very atmospheric I adore how tough the game is because it gives you such an ego boost when you finally complete it plus its a giant world with so many options the game really is endless when it comes to play time, do you burn down a city or do you make an empire the choice is yours and the game is something I play when I'm bored because it's basically an interactive canvas for you to destroy create... and make inappropriate shapes goodnight ! The game is worth checking out but I personally don't hold it as high regards as some other kids I know. 9/10 Plus does anyone remember when you tube was flooding with Minecraft videos, or when S mosh Games said the would never play the game now they have a whole series on the game! Truly this game is a giant and considering the amount of grey and brown most games are today something a bit more colorful is appreciated its a great game with an even greater community.

Minecraft=Amazing PokemonGamer101
Minecraft is amazing. For you people out there searching and see this game and wondering "What is this?" I will tell you. Minecraft is a game where everything is made of blocks. Sound boring? It is 100% NOT! Minecraft not only is a creative game for the creative minds but it offers a big open world for the players to explore. You can gain survival skills by playing the game. Sounds easy so far. You build and explore..Well it isn't all that. You will need to protect yourself from the monsters of the dark. In caves, you will need to gather resources and fight zombies, skeletons and more awful creatures that you will find. Minecraft gets easier and easier once you gather lots of resources. You will need plenty iron and diamonds. Diamonds are really hard to find. When you are not building or exploring, you will need to hunt the pigs and cows and chickens. If you don't have food, you can die of starvation. Remember that you will respawn back either at a bed or at the spawn point. Doesn't it sound fun? IT IS!! There really is no end but you can beat the Ender Dragon. That is considered the end of the game but you can still play after the end. So basically, everyday you are fighting, exploring, and hunting for survival. This game is really fun and you should really try it out. Please rate my review a 5 if it inspired you to play this game. Well now you have an idea of what the game is about. It is really fun. Make sure you check it out
