The graphics are just as pixelated as on the PC, which is not at all times meant negatively but as this is the developer so willed. A real history does not exist to "Minecraft" also. Here is just the creativity of the player being challenged, can do in his world and let what he want. So you can cut down whole forests, produce from the wooden houses, fences or other things, to shovel large basement, tame animals, they take in search or to defend against monsters.
This can certainly be fun and encourage creativity, no question, only the game is to me become monotonous after a while, so I have increasingly lost interest in it. Of course I will "Minecraft" continue to play, but unfortunately this is not a game for me what I could play the piece for hours.
A big plus point but there is for the tutorial, in which everything is explained exactly and control is much better and just when I previously feared. The different modes are made quite nice, so there is the game in "Survival", "Creative" and "Hardcore", which I would not necessarily needed, but is quite nice.
Negative especially the music I noticed that acts locally very soporific, but well, this is so - as so often - a matter of taste.
Conclusion:
"Minecraft" can certainly be fun, if you can fully engage in it, I noticed it only in places unfortunately very difficult. Nevertheless, "Minecraft" is a unique game that everyone should have played at least once.
