As a child you played with wooden or plastic blocks to create what you saw in the world around you ~ a house, a car, a bridge, a cement mixer. In high school, you built lamps, signs and more in shop class. You've also constructed full worlds, filled with realistic people simulating real life. Now, you can go back to your child-like roots and build with blocks again ~ but this time they're virtual blocks, and you can use them to create vibrant, 3D worlds that are filled with adventure and the magic of imagination.Get ready to build whatever pops into your mind when you jump into the 3D, eight-bit worlds of Minecraft. The Tutorial mode makes it simple to master essential skills and learn the basics. So grab your Xbox 360 controller, and start constructing any world that you can think of with the easy-to-use building blocks and the new crafting interface that lets you build the Minecraft world of your imagination in completely new ways. Explore other worlds to go on thrilling adventures, and gain inspiration for your own creations. Battle dangerous monsters that come out at night ~ including the Ender Dragon for an epic end-game battle ~ and be sure to make a shelter to protect yourself when the sun goes down. Explore and build with friends in split-screen mode via Xbox LIVE with up to eight players, so you can share the adventure. Are you ready to construct the world of your dreams in nostalgic, eight-bit fashion?
