IGN Reviews - Full Minecraft Review

[iAmAgainstColor]

So where was the review lol All we heard was you talking about your adventure in Minecraft.

[doodoodudex]

Bu..But the lack of built in info is a huge +

[GoldAgent123]

It should not have built in info on how to play the game, that is the point! You are supposed to find out how to craft everything! You are not told how to play because YOU play how YOU want to!

[MRcreeper1678]

My friend thinks that redstones light up the room better than regular torches and he still wonders why theres mobs spawining in his/her house. HA HA, what a retard.

[movieaddict725]

A fantastic review. But he still has the default skin...really?

[MRcreeper1678]

@movieaddict725 He probbably wanted to show you what the default skin is probabbly.

[8BitROB]

Interesting....

[beachbum111111]

@Shibbidge111 so you think this game is equil to mw3???

[gabriellemecz]

0:19 like you see the megamen :)

[jhuss1989]

this game is boring as shit. I'm not one to judge on graphics, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. don't pay for this game cuz you can do everything in the free version as you can if you pay for it, RIPOFF

[jhuss1989]

@jhuss1989 and to top off my last comment, everyone complains when you destroy their stuff online even on a pvp server, then i get banned. retarted game.

[apdragon321]

@jhuss1989 First off calling things retarded is wrong, my little sister knows that. Second, troll somewhere else.

[jhuss1989]

@apdragon321 it's not trolling if it's facts, I'm just trying to save people money from this awful game. thus your argument is invalid.

[apdragon321]

@jhuss1989 Well if so many people like it and you think just because you dislike it everyone else should? that is trolling my friend. I love minecraft, allot of people agree, deal.

[jhuss1989]

@apdragon321 fucking clown, I never said i think everyone else should dislike it. this is a video review where people come to get opinions on the game and I'm throwing out mine. I realize a lot of people are boring and like boring games.

[apdragon321]

@jhuss1989 Sorry people like to think and explore :/ what do you think is fun? CoD?

[MRcreeper1678]

@jhuss1989 You must not be creative person mate. Or your just a person with no taste in good games.

[jhuss1989]

@MRcreeper1678 good game my ass. i build and explore in real life, i play video games to do things i can't normally do. sure there is "combat" if you can call it that, but there are plenty of games that do that much better with much better visuals.

[PrehistoricStudios]

@jhuss1989

I guess you are a graphics fag or a cod fag am i right?

[PrehistoricStudios]

@jhuss1989

Oh and stop trying to have others hate minecraft too that is being a bitch. go play your cod and make you kd ratio higher as that is the only thing to do

[jhuss1989]

@PrehistoricStudios struck a nerve did I? if you had read my initial comment instead of just typing out of spite, then you would have read that graphics don't mean a lot to me and no i don't play CoD. this is a video review where others come to get opinions on this game and i am sharing mine. you are just pissed that someone doesn't like minecraft and you want me to like it instead. so by your own definition you are the bitch. minecraft is boring, and that's my opinion, GET OVER IT.

[Sozile]

Okay let me just say this, I do love Minecraft and I don't mind the graphics, enfact I ignore them half the time. But come on- I'm pretty sure a lot of Minecraft fans, would love to see what Minecraft would look like, with amazing graphics. :D Can you just imagine?

[Shibbidge111]

Uh oh , this score didn't get 1billion. Here comes the IGNorant fags ( Aka the guys who constantly have 2 bitch about the good score mw3 got)

[bigevildubey]

@Syakir2004 - It's basically a game where you venture around a randomly generated world and do all kinds of different stuff. Build, craft, mine, brew, enchant, explore. And the twist? EVERYTHING IS MADE OUT OF BLOCKS!!!!!!

Best game ever. And on 3/4/12, approximately 638 people have no life.

[456dna]

Lol who would actually wait for this to be released before buying it

[z0biC]

@456dna idiots

[eiroight]

and this is released in 2011? should've been released in 1989

[ss4luke]

2:12 Aye, look. It's megaman.

[NeothehedgehogX]

Is there any sound in this game?

[Sozile]

@NeothehedgehogX yes

[DeanoBrownOfficial]

wtf

[moonyprongusa]

@Bounding4miles the aesthetic of the game comes, in part, because of the graphics. In my opinion, Minecraft wouldn't be half as good with better graphics. That's how you recognize the game

[VJ1811]

only problem about minecraft is there is no fucking tutorial

[adairobrian]

This game is so shit the graphics alone look shit it it goes on forever mw3 is soo much better

[haydos271]

@adairobrian I really hope you are being sarcastic, or I might sic some creepers on your ass.

[animegamingdude]

@adairobrian do graphics really matter in a video game?

[factknowhow]

@adairobrian The graphics were purposely horrible to keep the simplistic attitude and nature about it. It's to prove that graphics don't in fact make a game good.

[TheStormie99]

@adairobrian

How do you compare a sandbox game with FPS? Its like comparing Car with banana.

Modern Warfare 3 has outdated graphics too. But graphics doesnt make the game, its the gameplay that matters

[TheTreyVidz]

@adairobrian Guys this guys trolling, just ignore him.

[EvilMoogIe]

@adairobrian lol its two different games dumbass

[Mr1997pancakes]

Or better yet an 11

[Mr1997pancakes]

This should have got a 10

[computer00fulify]

That looks crap

[Bwmz]

@bounding4miles There isn't a goal

[ostepobss]

@Bwmz There sort of is now, since the Ender Dragon was created, but still, it really isn't a goal.

[ethanw429]

The so called "lack of built in info" is actually an intented feature, making the game more challenginf

[haydos271]

@ethanw429 Unfortunately, I watched Nova before getting so I knew most of the recipes.

[GameKingdon93]

hmmm not even ING review didnt make me see why this game is better then LU :/

[GameKingdon93]

I HATE 20 SECOND ADDS THAT BUFFER

[juansufyan]

whats the song in the begining of the review?

[SnowCream151]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU PEICE OF FUCKING SHIT IT SHOULD BE A 10 YOU FUCKING BASTERDS IM GONNA...... GONNA....well i guess i can't do anything!

[minerdude222333]

The most epic game ever!

[Jell0man]

Tried it, didn't like it. Only fun with friends.

[Bounding4miles]

What is the point of it? looks fun, but whats the goal?

[destroyer129steam]

@Bounding4miles it's a sandbox game, so there is no goal :D

[lvl102cbman]

Boring game. I've had more fun creating things with CorelDRAW.

[pingshiyu]

9.0? I would say 9.2 at least, maybe 10.0

[happytomtomrblx]

Ive ever seen anyone with enchanted iron tools......

[W4ffle98]

Best game ever!!

[DanishDownUnder11]

How much is it in au$

[W4ffle98]

@DanishDownUnder11 You can download offline version for free, You can still play multiplayer with hamachi... Just search something like "Minecraft offline download" from youtube and it gives you the link! I havent bought it because you can play multiplayer with hamachi, singleplayer is the same and thats about it!

[WakfulRo4dk1ll]

minecraft should be 10.0 :D

[Rasmusboy100]

BEST REVIEW EVER IGN FOREVER!

[sasukefan38]

[WakfulRo4dk1ll]

@sasukefan38 fuck u

[MinopolisMc]

Good review!

You just inspired me. I forgot what minecraft is about and now see it. Today im going to start with my castle. Thank you.

[ThePikkulammas]

how did he expoloe the rabbit?

[FalconTries]

Really? 9.0? If you were on an island do you think there would be instructions for a boat?

[TheCapnFrosty]

@FalconTries Its a fairly good review and others gave it about the same

[TheGlitch7]

i've been playing minecraft since about a week after it came out. i still play it to this day. hell, it's open on my desktop right now! All the idiot 8 year old COD fanboys only care about graphics, not about gameplay really just make me want to throw up a buch of creepers to blow em up. I grew up on Legend of Zelda and Mega Man, and half the people i know have no idea what those are! It just pisses me off how they assume that the graphics are "bad" so therefore it's a bad game.

[tomjack1001]

it desirves a 10.5 but i can see what you meen but its fun to find out what you can do with stuff

[bigevildubey]

God, I remember the good old days when the game play made the game, not the graphics. Now, the world is full of noobs who think that if the game has crappy graphics, the game itself is crappy. Minecraft is living proof that all those noobs are wrong. Long Live Notch!

[WakfulRo4dk1ll]

@bigevildubey long live herobrine XD

[eateroftheflame]

@bigevildubey In the good old days there were still more than enough graphics whores. Remember the "bit wars"?

[FaZeiNsANiTY]

@bigevildubey finally someone with knowledge of good games! you dont know how many people say that cod is better than halo or vice versa nowadays! god, people in this world are retarded people say borderlands and minecraft sucks all because of its graphics, but i say minecraft and borderlands has a NEW ARTSTYLE, but people want graphics now, its ALL about grapics now...... god, what has this world come to?

[Bounding4miles]

@FaZeiNsANiTY Minecraft doesn't loo like a new art style, It looks like a 23 year old game. Why did the developers choose to do it this way?

[Syakir2004]

@bigevildubey hey man i really wanted to play minecraft. but can u tell me whats the game about? 

[Tehgamerdude254]

@bigevildubey It depends. If a game was meant to have good graphics, then it probably isn't very good. If it was meant the way it is, then it probably is. It's a little more complex the you think. indies like minecraft annd bastion were meant to not have battlefield 3 graphics.

[DLTMTV]

Its so easy to make a server i can make one in 5 mins!!!

[XxGameZonexX]

BEST GAME EVER!

[TABVideoProductions]

I've watched this uncharted trailer at least 20 times today

[Tandereeno]

@TABVideoProductions I know how you feel

[MegaMah91]

how can you review minecraft without mentioning mods?!

[AlienXBen]

I played it for 1 day and I got soooooooooooo bored so uninstalled it :).

[jsw95joshi]

@AlienXBen Mmmm yeer sure i did. I bet you didnt even have it. And you can't unistall Minecraft you have to delet a folder. So if you did have it what was the folder u deleted?

[onbonn]

@AlienXBen you must have a very dull mind

[gibstoper]

Minecraft is an outstanding game I have it on the pc.but on the iPod sucks

[jetfoxproductions]

also nice touch writing the score in lava in the game, shows your an addict not much different then me. i wrote words on my floor in redstone wire a long ways back. :) i've been playing since the middle of alpha 1.2 before the halloween update, this game has done more then enough to earn it's place in my fav games of all time.

[jetfoxproductions]

even if had access to a server i would still stick with being by myself.

but this review is almost touching to me, because that is what minecraft is, you become attached to your world and as you get better at it you find yourself being more brave, learning new things and doing old tasks in a whole new way so in a way the world grows with you.

not perfect but awesome regardless.

[abduels]

@jetfoxproductions no this game need better graphics stupid logo 10 year old game

[jetfoxproductions]

@abduels you're as ignorant as i was when i first found this game, i looked at the graphics and said it was crap, an hour into playing the game i was hooked and eating my words every second.

if you can't enjoy an awesome game like this go back to the copy pasted shooters then, :) meanwhile i'll build castles underwater bases and structure that should be considered art. ;P

[onbonn]

@abduels get mods. they add dynamic shadows, water reflections, bloom, godrays, 500x block detail, bump mapping, etc.

[abduels]

@onbonn ok i are did. the graphics are better but not surpasses n64 graphics lolololol get facts staright

[onbonn]

@abduels how? those shaders dont even work together without files being corrupted. And n64 graphics game don't have pixel shading, hd detail, water reflections + refractions, bump mapping, god rays, or any of those. Seriously get your facts straight. i doubt your computer can even handle a java game with all that.

[abduels]

@onbonn yeah it can bitch with 256 X texture pack and the shader mod

[onbonn]

@abduels the asshole you are..

[onbonn]

@abduels whatever floats your boat.

[onbonn]

@abduels whatever.. I believe I have better opinions than what you have to offer.

[abduels]

@onbonn you are just mad that i fucked your mom last night

[onbonn]

@abduels Impossibru. I'm mad your dissing minecraft, mortal.

[onbonn]

@abduels its only 2 or 3 years old. the latest update came a few weeks ago.

[abduels]

@onbonn lolololol stuoid bitch ot rigt

[Ricardo7250]

just give it a 10, everyone can play minecraft and its even awesome

[TheLethalDoughnut]

HMMMMMMM.... I like this review. some of you are unwilling to admit it, but while minecraft is an incredible game, it is flawed. PS: a 9.0= amazing.

[dapersonindabox232]

Skyrim total hrs a day: 12- 15

Minecraft total hrs a day: 36-72

[abduels]

@dapersonindabox232 your mom's sex 22 hours a day

[Wiesman1000]

Yea about the graphic... MINECRAFT HAS AMAZING GRAPHICS, its SUPPOSED to look the way it does, get passed the graphics because Minecraft is great, its arguably better than COD and Halo and delivers many more hours than skyrim

[abduels]

@Wiesman1000 cod are better. minecraft expansion release every 6 month new dlc every 1 month. notch is ripping you off bitch in cod actvison take their time. they are releasy modern warefare 3 1.2 soon

[onbonn]

@abduels how is mojang (notch doesnt make it anymore) ripping consumers off? cod expansions are 20 dollars for 5 maps! and theyre afraid to make a change of pace in gameplay in fear of loosing their fans so they keep it the same. Mojang doesnt charge for updates and new mods release almost daily for free.

[SouthParkRocksAlot]

@onbonn they're 15 dollars, look something up before you look stupid.

[onbonn]

@SouthParkRocksAlot i remember paying 15$ for the game, other than that i have not payed a nickel.

[SouthParkRocksAlot]

@abduels You look like an idiot with your shitty grammar. Don't respond back to me if you're not going to write a response that you read after you wrote it. 

[abduels]

@SouthParkRocksAlot You look like an idiot with your shitty grammar. Don't respond back to me if you're not going to write a response that you read after you wrote it.

[undeadman7676]

@joejr620 yes!!!!!!! this game is the most amazing game ever... sadly my computer is broken so i am forced to wait..... i used ipad to type this...

[joejr620]

Dude, should I givr dis game a try

[123billbill]

@joejr620

YES

[bbsocc1]

Ok...............if someone spends to much time on this, it will be the something as that WOW kid spending 24 hours playing

[stuffedlegoguy461]

finally! a good a review by IGN!

[petplatypus]

the multiplayer was very buggy when this review was made

[Mainstreamjoker]

5:21 what is the seed

[CustomMade2K]

@Mainstreamjoker ,like a world a seed something small (nothing) then you make it grow get it

[Mainstreamjoker]

i love how you describe everything so... descriptively



[flyingsnowyman]

Theres not ment to be fucking built in info you derp 10.0 for me part of minecraft is learning recipies its not my fault youre an idiotq

[BenDragons3]

@flyingsnowyman And if you have sitll trouble ther is ton of information on the internet so i agree this game needs a 10!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wiesman1000]

@BenDragons3 What it is, is an 11

[KukiKruch]

atleast 9.5

[supidrobots]

9.0 THATS IT?!?! I give it at least a 9.6

[MrUncorkingAsh]

@Kookanoodles Its not about the fact it has shitty graphics, it's the fact that a BUILDING game has shitty graphics.

[MrUncorkingAsh]

@eateroftheflame Why would you feel accomplished if everything you build looks like shit? Minecraft would be a much better game if it had pretty graphics. After all, it is a building game. BTW I'm not a graphics whore, I still play N64 games. Minecraft is self-defeating, shitty graphics for a building game.

[Kookanoodles]

Those kids today who only care about graphics... Allright, I'm only 21 but still, why do so many people care only about looks ? I used to play a game called War & Peace once, it looked awful and unfinished but remains one of my dearest gaming experiences. (Thumbs up if anyone know this game, never found anyone who did !)

[fry1231256]

@Kookanoodles BRO!!! im 15 and i still play the nes and nintendo 64 probably as much as my ps3!! i love old games! probably more then new to be honost!

[ChocolateAndJelly123]

@Kookanoodles

I like the MC Grpahics, if it looked like real life, I would want a texture pack that looks like MC does now

[StaNwuzHERE]

@Kookanoodles i dont much care about how many pixels a game has, but sometimes games just look... ugly, and i think it makes the game experience better if you like the way everything looks

[tacpwife]

@Kookanoodles Your right less about the graphics more about the gameplay!

[jsw95joshi]

Fuck I been playing Minecraft since August 2010 and I still shit my self when I am in a dark cave and I see a green head pop out of the dark.

[jetfoxproductions]

@jsw95joshi yes couldn't agree more, creeper ambushes never fail to scare the crap out of me.

[MrUncorkingAsh]

@eateroftheflame Hmm... let me think, what would better graphics do to a game that's soul purpose is building... hmmmm. Maybe it would make it good? Maybe it would make building castles rewarding. etc...

[eateroftheflame]

@MrUncorkingAsh That still makes no sense, people build for the sense of accomplishment not how pretty it looks.

[MultiBenji1998]

reasonable score

[blockminer36]

@CutieCharmers Yes, it is. You keep it forever, and if you get bored with it you can use a mod.

[TheZorseWhisperer]

next time ign decides to review such an innovative pc game slap pc on the videos title so these fucktards wont get confused

[MrUncorkingAsh]

The purpose of the game is to build. It looks like shit even with texture packs... WTF. Most self-defeating game ever made.

[eateroftheflame]

@MrUncorkingAsh That doesn't even make sense, what difference would better graphics make?

[RAWchaosify]

lack of built in info? Thats what made the minecraft community grow as a whole in the first place

[ArmTriangleChoke]

9.0??? Seriously?? This shit gets 9.0?

[jsw95joshi]

@ArmTriangleChoke Fuck off you troll just becasue you have a shit pc and cant run any games.

[ArmTriangleChoke]

@jsw95joshi No just because this game is shit. Fucking dumb fuck. You should be killed for being a dumb shit fag cunt. I'll fuck your mom 10x harder

[jsw95joshi]

@ArmTriangleChoke Well that show you have neaver played the game you dick sucker. And don't worry I wont tell every one your dad fucks you in your sleep. Opps. Plus your shit your shit your GAY.

[TheBl7nk]

Is mindcraft free or cash and were can i find it...?

[jamiecrottyEFC]

@TheBl7nk Id link to know where "mindcraft" is too

[jsw95joshi]

@TheBl7nk Its cash. To get it just google Minecraft

[TheSpartanondrugs]

1:10

That's the fun of the game

Game should've gotten at least a 9.8

[Iceeman234]

1:02

So you want it to baby feed you?

[524mills]

@Iceeman234 He never said that. He was saying that SOME things should be explained more.

[damitchman9]

@FeaRL3ss96 I agree. I have trouble installing mods at times.

[98ocarina]

I downloaded this game yesterday....

I've played for about 48 hours :)

[damitchman9]

This game can't be reviewed.

1. 235234532 ways to play.

2. Mods.

3. HUGE!!!!!

4. People who are addicted, and people who aren't.

[FeaRL3ss96]

@damitchman9 remember that not everyone can install mods, but your right this game can't really be reviewed

[sKiiTs8]

I hate to spam guys, but check out my Review for Minecraft? :)
