   I had to give this a ten to balance out the hate. This game probably deserves more like a 7 but not nearly all the hate its getting now. ThisI had to give this a ten to balance out the hate.

Of course, this is the tutorial stage and the prologue of the story, so the best that it can be is decent. You're introduced to the Main protagonist Jesse (Male or female depending on your choice) and his friends Reuben, Olivia and Axel. Slowly but surely, the game teaches you all the basic gameplay mechanics. QTE's, fighting and how your choices can effect the game. eg: Your choices can impact on if you win the crafting contest. You're also introduced to Petra and Lukas, some more allies of Jesse.
   Without spoiling too much of the plot, you go to endercon, witherthing breaks out, you go to nether story done! As I said before, this is just the tutorial episode, but it does a decent job of hooking people in. It is a little lackluster though, but trust me on this one. The other episodes are worth your time and money.… Expand

   Minecraft Story Mode is yet another game from Telltale Games. The gameplay focuses more around the characters and is mostly story-driven.
   TheMinecraft Story Mode is yet another game from Telltale Games. The gameplay focuses more around the characters and is mostly story-driven.
   The times where you can control your character is usually when deciding what to say in a conversation/make a quick decision, or control them around a short moving space. What you say and what you do impacts the course of the story depending on the way you play it.
   Unfortunately, seeing as the main focus of the game is the story, you’d expect the creators to make a creative, original story to be remembered and explored through your actions, pushed ahead by original and uniquely designed characters. This is what would make a good story.
   Except the story and characters are the most unoriginal things that they cannot be taken seriously.
   The game opens with a legend about 4 heroes each with different strengths, one in combat, another in Redstone, another in… explosions (what) and architecture, who defeat the Enderdragon.
   The main character is named Jesse, who I’m going to refer to as male for this review. He is the typical nice guy underdog with a group of friends. The character is generic and everything you’ve ever seen before. He has a pet pig. His other friends are a female black friend and the “big dumb stupid” stereotype. There are the generic bully characters who seem unable to come up with any insult other than “loser” (actually they used “trashbag” at some point which I applauded at for being original for 3 seconds), and the obligatory badass female character. The characters aren’t interesting and the plot feels like it was written by a 12 year old.
   Except 12 year olds have ideas that they probably care about intensely. Even a 12 year old would put more care into making a better story, even if it is a power fantasy of themselves.
   In a story based game, you should care about the plot and characters and feel bad if the characters get hurt. Except you don’t care about them because they’re easily labelled stereotypes and wouldn’t care if they all died in a fire, and therefore you can’t get invested in the game. Which just makes it a boring drag. By the time everyone got to the Nether I actually missed numerous quick time events because I was busy checking my phone.
   I played on my trusty PS3 as I’m sure none of the computers in the house would be able to run it very well (my laptop can hardly manage 3FPS on minimal graphical settings). It was mostly fine except the crosshair used to interact with objects or people seems ridiculously awkward and hard to control. Although assuming the game was designed for PC it is forgivable to a certain extent. The walking controls are a bit sluggish and yet again awkward and the camera angles the game throws at you can often make it even more difficult to control. Then there’s the framerate. My goodness the framerate. It runs at a solid speed (not sure of the exact number) for most of the game but whenever there’s a lot of blocky people on screen with lighting effects galore, I swore the framerate had dropped to 10 or maybe even 3. Couldn’t they have removed some of the lighting for the PS3…? It just seems poor.
   As much as this game is for 7 year olds, and as a 14 year old girl, it isn’t for me. But when the plot is this lazy it doesn’t feel like there was any passion or vision to create and tell an interactive story. It feels more like an effortless cash grab with Minecraft graphics slapped on it so it’ll sell to the masses of children who sadly don’t know better. They even pull the “put random light swearing everywhere to get that PG rating” thing and have characters say “what the hell” and “damn” repeatedly when you can give a “what the heck” or “darn” just as easily.
   I can’t recommend this game to anyone but little Minecraft fans who can enjoy the game for “it’s minecraft”. If you’re a gamer above the age of 12 or with a good sense of good storytelling, then this game is not worth your money.… Expand
