There are no instructions to the game, and the entire purpose is to keep yourself alive while you build in your world, not adhering to any set of game rules or having any major point to what you are doing. The concept of the game works like a mini sandbox for the player, who gets to build whatever he or she wants without any other real rules, goals, earning any points, defeating bad guys to move onto the next level, or saving any princesses. The game itself does not look like much to those watching it, but it is extremely entertaining to those that play it. If you’ve ever watched over the shoulder of another person playing Minecraft, you’ve probably thought humorously about what the appeal of such a low-quality graphic game filled with box-like objects could be.

While the game does not look like much, it is a huge hit with both children and adults alike, and both genders as well, which is a unique accomplishment for a video game, as most games are either geared toward men or women.Īll of these factors are part of the reason why Minecraft Online: Free with no Download has become the most downloaded game in gamer history, and the third most popular game of all time, landing behind Tetris and Wii Sports. Chances are, if you have a school-aged child at home, you both hear and know more about the game than you ever expected to know. Unless you’ve been hiding out in a shelter (pun intended), or under a rock (also intended), you have probably heard about the sandbox game Minecraft.
