Minecraft was released on May 17,2009 from a man named Markus "Notch" Persson. The game was later published by his new company called Mojang in December 20,2010. Ever Since, Minecraft has became and is still, very popular on the internet. But enough with the facts, let's get on to the real review.

Minecraft is a sandbox first-person RPG game that focuses mostly on creativity and building. This allows the player to build with 3D squares. This game is very fun and helps your imagination go wild, no matter what age you are! You can be 100 years old for all I matter, Minecraft makes everything fun!

Gameplay 9/10

Minecraft has two modes in single-player and multiplayer: Survival and Creative mode. Survival Mode bases on surviving the wild, making your character have hunger bars and health. Creative Mode on the other hand, gives you unlimited resources and unlimited health. Survival makes you feel like you have achieve something greater when you have finally got all the resources you need to make something special like a statue. Creative mode makes you feel like you don't give a f**k since it's all unlimited and you can build it whenever you want. But still both modes are fun. But if you really want a real challenge, you can go to single-player and try out Hardcore Mode. If you die in the game, you'll have to delete the world. Yea, the game really doesn't care if you had gold or diamond in it. The only thing that put gameplay 9/10 is the instructions. I know there are instructions online, but instruction in-game will be much more better, especially if you are a beginner and begun to like Minecraft.



Music 10/10

The music in this game is very soothing and adventurous. Most of the soundtracks in the game are very gentle and sometimes you can just sleep to it. If you collect music discs, each and every music disc is very different and unique. You're going to need a jukebox as well, and don't go to far away from your jukebox or you'll won't hear it.

Graphics 5/10

This might be my lowest score for the graphics. The reason for this is because of the graphics itself. The game is too pixelated and has many squares. The character itself has a square/rectangle like body too! It's like playing in a LEGO world.



Overall Score 8/10

Minecraft is great game. It makes your imagination and creativity go wild! This is what makes the game so craziily addictive! Gameplay is excellent, but needs in-game instructions. Music is very calm and gentle. Graphics are somewhat ok, and I'm glad to be a Minecraft fan! I am Daniel Jones, and see you guys in the next review! :) Stay Tuned!
