Note: This is a fan-made trailer that pretty much sums up the game. There is no official trailer at the time of posting this thread.

About the game: You are trapped in the middle of no where. A vast wilderness filled with both passive and hostile creatures awaits you. To survive, you must collect blocks, craft blocks and place blocks.

Gameplay, Graphics and Sound/Effects: Minecraft's gameplay is as good as you make it. You literally have the freedom build whatever you want, and go where you want.
Minecraft's graphics aren't the best, but they aren't meant to be.
The sounds of Minecraft are very detailed, from the sound of walking on fire to hitting a pig in a mine-cart. Minecraft also offers in-game music tracks, composed by c418, presented through Music Discs.

Well, then they really trick belgium. If i want to buy it, it'll cost me €14.95 and if i pay with pp $21(=€14.95)

Also on Xbox, they have FortressCraft. Not the same as minecraft but as close as it gets for now.

It's coming to Xbox, like i stated.

Fortress Craft is a rip-off, not related to Mojang nor Minecraft in any way.

THUMBS THE FUCK UP THIS SHIT.
Lets make mojang Accept this as he original trailer.

Really good review, good job! although I think this is the official trailer of the game:
and yea.... the look of the game is not meant to be good. BUT you can make it look good with texture packs, and make the gameplay more fun with mods.

$25 Dollars Australian Dollars.

I perfectly agree with your review.
I find it worth its price to be honest, but it depends on the type of gamer you are.

A bit expensive. I remember picking it up for $15 during alpha and even then it was expensive.

Minecraft.
