Minecraft: 360 Edition: Worth it?

[Zaydin]

I know I've read that they are going to update the 360 version up to the PC version eventually, I'm just wondering if that is worth the price. Though I know my sister commented that if I got it on the 360, she might play splitscreen with me.

and it doesn't have as much of the stupid, obtrusive shit that Notch and Co. decided to jam into the PC version.

Yet.

How much smaller are the maps in the 360 version compared to the PC version?

PC: practically infinite. 360 version: 1025x1025 area with height of 130 from bedrock to the sky limit. The 360 version may be tiny, but you can still do a lot in that amount of space.

The 360 version of the game is worth it if the Xbox is your main gaming platform, although I would suggest getting the trial first and playing around with it for a while before choosing to get it or not.(be aware that the trial length is a stupidly short thirty minutes)

I may have to get Minecraft on the 360, then. I know I've heard enough people gushing about it that it might be fun to try out. And if they do intend on slowly implementing the features of the PC version, sounds fine to me, too.

I would say so, I've had a lot of fun building a variety of different things (most gaming related) in it. All that stuff is all possible on the PC version of course, but I spend most of my time on the Xbox so it suited me more to get it for that.

Like I said, I would play the trial for a while before deciding whether you actually want the game or not.

If you can get it on pc instead, do that, otherwise its still a great game on 360, definitely get it. As long as your pc can run it, the pc version is superior. I have both versions and the 360 version is a lot more limited than the pc version.

Well, tried the trial and it was fairly enjoyable, so I got the full version. Hopefully it won't take them too awfully long to get the 360 version close to the PC version (I think I read that was one of their goals, anyways)

I don't know why you would bother unless your computer is a decade old.
