    This is one of the best, most nostalgic video games ever. Bring back the minigames, Mojang! 10/10.

    It was perfect. Until 1.13. But the legacy and additions and unique content for this version like texture packs and better super flatworld creation brings it to higher heights than any other. 1.13 brings it too close too modern Minecraft for my liking even if its objectively better. Also miss the this crafting system

    This game is literally my childhood. I really wish I still had this Minecraft version. The only problem is the red ring of death... you know.

    Um jogo indescritível, porém tão perfeito, diverso, viciante e o principal NOSTÁLGICO, marcando uma geração inteira, sendo o meu jogo favorito repleto de memorias e actualizações durante o meu crescer.

    Best game I have ever played, and the Xbox 360 edition is significantly better than the Bedrock version we have now, and I'd even say its better than java

    It's Minecraft, that's all I need to say. It's unfortunate that this version doesn't get updated anymore. Inferior to the PC version, but great none the less.

    I love this version! My mum, sister and I spent a whole school holidays building a city! Lots of fun memories! It's too bad that 4J stopped updating it but the hardware limitations were very apparent at that point. When I go back to this version I think of how many people played this and the player base is still there. Minecraft is a never ending game.

    Прекрасная игра, все что могу сказать
    Огромный открытый мир, свобода действий, отличная фотореалистическая графика, прекрасная музыка
    Уже почти 10 лет играю в эту версию (Папа купил диск) и игра не надоела.

    It's the best console version of the game. It's the one that started it all on the consoles!

    Probably the most nostalgia Minecraft out there and one of the best editions. I had countless hours of this game. If you are looking for an old version of this game, this is the way to go!

    A decent game that offers creativity and build flexes. I’m not a huge fan of survival, but being on creative mode with friends and building is what I like about Minecraft.

    It's Minecraft, just now on 360. The maps are smaller, it is running on an older version of the game (with updates to be rolled out over time, much like the pc version), and it has ditched dedicated servers in favor of a drop in, drop out system based on the original player's save. It also includes a nice 4-player splitcreen mode, and allows for eight people to play toget

    Overall Minecraft is a masterpiece of a game, but i found the legacy edition has numerous issues such as strongholds not spawning where they should, and the maps being extremely small making it difficult to beat.

    You'll have a better time on bedrock or pc as it has larger worlds. Its still an okay port with multiplayer but it hasn't aged well at all.

    Good but can get a bit boring to play. Their is no way to download mod packs or anything to spice up the game.

    The real game of course is better, the mods, the servers, etc. But this worked really well as a couch game with some friends, plus it was a gift sooo... yeah **** loved it

    Minecraft is a wonderful concept that allows one to be creative in whichever way they please. The music is wonderful, the mechanics are fun and interesting, the different modes like creative and survival perfectly suit many different kinds of people, and the game is relatively simple. Overall it's a great game for all ages.

    This game is amazing! This used to be the only thing I would play. I remember my friends coming over so we could play the game. It is a shame that they have stopped updating it.

    oh man, what nostalgia to turn on the xbox and stay that crazy playing minecraft, good times ...

    Minecraft may be ok as a building tool but survival mode is one of the worst "games" I have played. It feels like early access or a technology demo. Game was interesting the first couple of hours but then it got very boring and repetitive. You can explore and dig for 5 hours without discovering anything new or interesting in the game.

    This is a really awesome game. It really is! I hope Mojang makes an update where the Northern Lights are put into this version of Minecraft. If they were to make that update happen, it would be so cool!

    To me, the only way to play minecraft is on xbox. My only complaint being the relative lack of content compared to the pc version but, i suspect that with microsoft's recent acquisition of mojang, updates will be given to the xbox family faster than the playstations consoles. I also prefer the xbox port because of it's superior controls. When I bought minecraft for my pc, the controls wereTo me, the only way to play minecraft is on xbox.

    Minecraft on the Xbox Live Arcade is an addicting and rewarding experience, assuming you are willing to put the time into the experience. This is one of those games where you will truly get out whatever you put into the game, and that can be both good and bad. If you put in the time and dedication though, you will discover one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences ever.

    Minecraft is just as addictive on the Xbox 360 as it was on the PC. Too bad the world is only a small fragment of that of the original game. [June 2012]
