A Vast Virtual World In a Small Box

May, 9, 2012 was marked with the long-awaited release of a free trial Minecraft Xbox 360 version developed by joint efforts of 4JStudios, Microsoft Studios and Mojang.

Compared to its PC elder brother, the Xbox version can boast several fresh features. It will take a new Minecraft fan quite little time to learn the game basics and get used to its interface and gameplay thanks to the built-in system of tutorials. Split-screen multiplayer will allow you to play together with your friend and see all the action on the screen of your TV box (you need HD-TV for this). Xbox Live gives several players (up to 8) an excellent opportunity to join the game and play together in the vast expanses of Minecraft universe. The Xbox version also offers a simpler crafting system. And only about 20$ for this pleasure!

However, there are a few game limitations concerning, for example, the finite size of your Minecraft world and other game nuances. Therefore, new updates are released on a regular basis.
