Ava 5 Minecraft: A Survival Game
Although Minecraft in its current state is a game about creating structures or what have you utilizing a series of blocks, but this is not all we are looking at.

Currently those who have purchased minecraft can participate in the “Survival” alpha, which is the primary game mode of minecraft that is not complete, making this building game a much deeper experience that will be extremely replayable with its procedurally generated environments.

In regards to the dubbed “Creative” game mode where you can create and destroy all the blocks you want to further customize a map to have whatever you feel it should.

When Minecraft first started I spent hours on end creating castles and complex mines underground by hand, and having a blast just doing it without having any sort of goal, and I give this game a five based on just that experience.

Even though I started playing the game so early that new blocks and terrain generation code would come out days after I spend hours building a castle, I would restart in a heartbeat just to have the possibilities expanded in my mind of what I can build and how these blocks would fit into the overall experience when Survival eventually came out.

Also during a multiplayer session, a friend and myself created a giant spongebob, it goes without saying that was the best thing ever made.

Having purchased minecraft I am participating in the Survival alpha but this review is not about the Survival aspect that is yet to be complete.

I will be writing a review more in depth on the aspects of survival and sharing my experiences, but with the game itself not complete I can only say this is worth your time and money.

P.S: I would like to add that I just registered 12 minutes ago to add this review, because I felt that the description for this wonderful game, was not doing it justice.

PP.S: Expect a more in-depth review when Survival mode drops with all expected features implemented.
