A Special Minecraft Review For Y'all
WARNING : THIS IS NOT A 10/10 Review

The game Minecraft is game by Game Developers Mojang and mainly Markus Persson (Notch).
The game itself is a Indie/Sandbox game where you roam around building and  exploring during the day and at night monsters come out and try to kill you. The game is currently available for Computer, Android and iOS. During spring 2012 the game will be release for XboX 360. Currently 'Survival' Mode is only available for Computer.

First, let's talk about the actual gameplay. The best thing about Minecraft is the gameplay, although it may seem boring to a gamer used to FPS' or Puzzle games, the gameplay in Minecraft is some of the best you can get these days. There's always something to do and the game is pretty much unlimited to what you can do. There is never a moment when you think to yourself 'there's nothing to do'. There is a thing about Minecraft which means however you like playing games, Solving Puzzles, Shooting Enemies, Going on an Adventure and Playing sports, you can do all of this in Minecraft. Gameplay - 9/10

Next, I will talk about the graphics. As a friend of some Anti-Minecrafters, their reason for not playing the game is the 'bad graphics'. To some people the graphics are what makes the game what it is but to others, it is just 'bad'. Personally, I would not call the graphics 'bad' but I would call them 'different'. As most game developers try their best to have the top graphics available. Overall, the graphics are a part of the game which can be compared to Marmite, you either love it or you hate it. Graphics - 7/10

I will now talk about the music for the game. The soundtrack and most of the sounds for the game are made by C418. Before Minecraft was a popular hit, C418 was not the most popular musician in the world but now he is well known amongst the Minecraft Community. The soundtrack is great and provides perfect music for the spooky cavern or the lovely day. Music - 9/10

Unfortunately, there are faults with Minecraft as there is with every game. The Minecraft community itself can sometimes be a bit dodgy. The community is full of players called 'Griefers' who's pure aim is to ruin the game for others by destroying all their builds on multiplayer. Mojang have not done enough to stop this but I am sure that there are somethings that can be done. The game itself is also highly buggy, in the latest update (1.0.0) players have encountered an error when playing on multi-player which doesn't allow a player to connect to the server he/she wants to play on. There are also tons of glitches such as the world not generating correctly and mobs (creatures) glitching out. I believe that Mojang could have focused more on eliminating these 'bugs' and problems rather than releasing the full game and working on new features. Overall Score Point Loss - 6

In conclusion, Minecraft is a game which once you start playing it, you get used to all the faults and it becomes  extremely fun, although to a new player or someone who hasn't played it before and prefers other games, it my seem slightly, childish, stupid and rubbish.

The Overall Score For My Review Is -  19/30

Gameplay - 9
Graphics - 7
Music - 9
Faults -  -6

Overall 19/30
Rank : Good.
