The only objective in Minecraft is survive and you can fulfill that task within 10 minutes and "win". It's more about building mechanisms and buildings now. The way see Minecraft is more of a virtual programming machine. Red Stone adds a whole level of depth to a game that isn't quit obvious at first. I love the graphic style for Minecraft and I love how simple it is to play, but the Red Stone building and Building structures is also a plus. It's something for everyone that I can't really falter. What's bad about it? No idea, it has no direction and can't really be placed into a genre. Oh but I really effin' hate watching Minecraft videos (unless it's a group video) because damn are they boring.
Animal Crossing is also the same kind thing. I enjoy playing those but it still feels a tad empty at times.
I wonder if that McDonalds lady has ever heard of "griefing" before and how much more annoying that can be than any spawn killer in CoD.
I agree with this, kids should be more introduced to this then CoD. It is cheaper and also allows them to be creative (assuming they know what everything does) because it sort of teaches them a few things. But then again a game is a game and unlike a coloring book or an empty artbook, Minecraft is still very limited to what you can make.
