Mojang's popular game, Minecraft is now officially out of beta for their Xbox 360 edition. And reviews are mostly positive for the role playing game, currently logging a score of 83 out of 100 at Metacritic.
Edwin Evans-Thirlwell of OXM UK even gives Minecraft a perfect score of 10 out of 10. He says, "The Xbox 360 port benefits from a generous tutorial mode - essentially a part-built playpen with all the main elements on show. This complements the cunning of Mojang's environment generator, which groups blocks and non-playable characters intuitively to create order amid chaos."
"Minecraft's drop-in split-screen is far and away Xbox Live Arcade's richest and slickest co-op experience to date," he continues as he describes the multiplayer feature of the game.
Meanwhile, Game Revolutions' Daniel Bischoff gives Minecraft a 4 out of 5 review. He notes, "I wasn't entirely sure Microsoft's bid for the exclusive release of Minecraft on Xbox 360 was the smartest business decision. [But] in the last few days, I've been sucked in, delighted, and genuinely scared by the fact that I missed this experience when it was still in beta. I'd say Minecraft on Xbox 360 works just fine."
A lot of reviews for Minecraft Xbox 360 have already been published and expect a lot more would come. But in general, based on all the feedback we've been hearing and reading, we think Microsoft and Mojang has a winning game here.
