I'll start the trolling: Copycat of Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress with good graphics as the icing.

Indeed it does look gorgeous.

although, if they do not expand on some features, or atleast take a slightly different route then i have very little respect for the developers.

The water looks great. The rest looks ehh. It seems like it's just Minecraft Creative mode plugged into an Xbox and given one of those weird-looking "realism" texture packs.

No 'realistic' texture in the world will cover the fact your world consists of a undefined number of square cubes.

Yeah, while it indeed is more graphically advanced (somewhat) then Minecraft...

It still looks ugly.

the BEST or worst part is that you play it with your Xbox Live Avatar... JUST to contrast the gritty graphics they went for.

Some of the textures and models look like from a 1999 FPS - low poly-count, accelerated with a 3dfx card for higher texture resolutions and with very little stylish consistency.

Personally I find high-res textures on low res geometry an eye-sore. Graphical consistency > partial higher quality.

Well, since I lack the want to buy MineCraft because I don't like their community, I'll probably buy this, if I can get my friend to.

And then that community turns out to be worse.   :P

The whole thing looks like it was put togheder using old textures and models, there's no real consistency. It looks sort of ugly.

Can't help but to think some guy just decided to make a minecraft clone, took most of the crafting and gathering away because it would drive casual players away, and decided to sell it to impressionable people for more them minecraft's worth on xbox live. Considering the main bulk of xbox live users love love love gimmicky stuff that looks pretty, they'll eat this up in one gulp, get bored after a week, and noticed they wasted money.
