Hi i'm MCTUBER i'm going to buy an Xbox360 and i was wondering if MCX360 is any good just post on a scale of 1 being god smucking awful and 10 being the best Xbox360 game ever
I'd give it a 9, its fun, but it really limits you on building space, and if you explore the whole map, new biomes wont spawn in. Besides that, it's an amazing game to play with friends.
I'd give it an 8. I don't think its the "best" game.. that would be almost impossible for me to nail down among my favorites.. but despite its limitations it still gets played at least once a day for me.
I spent my money on Mc360 and loved it, now i find it really boring. I prefer to spend my time on on PS3 playing Battlefield 3.
damn, wish you had BF3 for xbox, i need some good players in my squad, im stuck with kids who can't fly jets and people who use heli's to get to sniping spots.
I find it very difficult and overwhelming to judge on such a broad selection.Trying to first give a general rating based on design, I would give Minecraft a 9. The point here isn't what the game does, but how well it does it. Somebody may like Bullet Storm more than Minecraft, but think about this. When compared to other FPS titles, it is obvious that Bullet Storm doesn't even touch the modern standards that are being set by other FPSs. Minecraft, on the other hand, is a voxel-based sandbox game, and it pulls off the concept almost perfectly. The big coup de gras of sandbox games is freedom; being able to do whatever you want. It's improbable we will ever be able to play a true sandbox game, unless we decide to in real life, but that usually never turns out good. But Minecraft comes closer to achieving that goal than just about every other title. The development going on at 4J is just incredible, which means frequent updates for us the players. Another huge bonus is the fact that MIcrosoft has allowed them some free updates, an occurrence extremely rare. And, despite programming in a more advanced intermediate-level language, also dealing with cert testing, the dev has managed to keep roughly the same pace as Mojang had done at the time.
This all doesn't necessarily mean the game will be good for you. Someone who only plays sports games, obviously might not like it. My best advice is to download the trial, keep an open mind, and give it a shot. Don't forget that you can do anything, think outside the box, where lies the true joy of Minecraft.
I rate games based on how much the game cost vs how much entertainment I get out of it. Minecraft is a 10.
^^^ Oh, and I forgot to mention this. The pricetag seems pretty steep, at $20, which is the high-end for XBLA titles. But, to me, and many other Minecrafters, it was definitely worth it. I have gotten more entertainment out of it than brand new $60 triple A titles.
If you read through a lot of other threads on this discussion forum, you are undoubtedly going to get an impression that a lot of people are dissatisfied with this game... and that is unfortunate, because, like most of the people who have already responded to this thread, I am completely satisfied with this game and would give it a solid 9 out of 10. I have gotten way more than $20 worth of fun out of it.
However, if what you're wanting is the PC Minecraft experience, then I'm going to recommend that you're better off to play it on the PC. The Xbox edition is different... For example, it remains about a year behind the PC version as far as "stuff" that has been added by Mojang, so don't expect to see witches and withers, etc. in this version of the game. (If you're interested in making a direct comparison, I would suggest you read the Version History of each edition on the Minecraft Wiki.) Please also be aware, the world has a definite size limit of about 864 x 864 x 128 blocks and that is very unlikely to change anytime soon, if ever. Also, mods and mod packages (which are very popular on the PC) are not available for the Xbox edition... period.
In addition, the gamesaves (worlds) are "owned" by the gamertags that create them; and there are strict limitations that currently prevent Xbox worlds from being shared publicly in the same way that they can be shared on the PC. In general, if you create a world on the Xbox, you have to be the one to load it on your Xbox and be playing it before anyone else wil be able to access that world. On the positive side of this though, you have very good control over who you let into your world to play with you.
If you accept/embrace these differences ahead of time, you won't be setting yourself up to be disappointed just because the Xbox edition is not an exact clone of the PC one ; and you will enjoy your Xbox edition experience better for it. The Xbox edition has many of it's own merits. For example, you don't have to memorize a bunch of crafting recipes in that the crafting interface is much more WYSIWYG. Yyou can also play with up to 4 players on one system in splitscreen mode (if you have an HDTV).
thanks
