Synopsis
Fortress Craft was created for people who have great imaginations and can create large objects and want to design various things from different types of blocks. This game is similar to the PC game; Minecraft which became popular for thousands of people. This game is based on Xbox and allows you to interact with your friends in a large world where you can choose from numerous blocks including, Sand, rock, wood, grass, windows, malt, marble and a lot more!
Gameplay
This game begins on an empty world with different types of blocks placed in various locations (mainly grass). You spawn inside a large cube which is filled with water. This is the only spawning area on your world and can not be deleted by LB control. This game includes many different things you can do and create. You can go underground and search for the hidden relics placed in the game. These relics allow players to experience new things which help their creations succeed, including headlight when you're creating your world at night. Jetpack; this is a great relic which allows you to fly in any direction (left, right, up & down). It helps you create things which float rather than created on the ground and gets you around your world alot quicker than average walking speed. Those are only two of the 8-10 relics which are placed underground. The relics are never located above ground so don't be fooled if anyone attempts to tell you if they're found in the sky. More relics include; black smoke, speed boots, super jump boots, ray gun, water walk, night vision & freeze gun. The freeze gun is a great feature to the game, it allows you to have fun with your friends with the mode called 'Freeze Tag'.
The game features multiplayer which allows your buddies to connect to your world and help you create quicker. You can edit join session permissions so guests can join, join & edit or blocked. Blocked means they cannot join your game at all. You may find allowing guests to edit in your world becomes havoc as some can't be trusted.
The game is an indie game which means it comes at a cheap cost and it's a good buy. The updates are free of cost, the game is separated into Chapters and each chapter contains different features and new things to do. There are updates on a monthly basis and they fix any bugs and glitches which people complain about. The blocks are fun to use and you can create nearly anything. From a large football stadium to a Nyan cat. If you have an Xbox chatpad or a USB keyboard then you can use game commands to edit structures. These structures include adding water, setting TNT blast radius, filling in certain areas with a singular type of block texture.
The game sounds are near enough realistic, foot steps can be turned on/off, same with your pick axe and other tools. You can't use your pick axe although it's included for display.
Graphics
The graphics are good, they aren't meant to be perfect seeing as this is an Indie game and it not something as professional as a full Xbox Published game in stores. The graphics were created to be similar to the Minecraft game which are a retro style with colours and cube styled worlds. Every update and chapter to be brought out will increase the game in a certain way. Before the first update was brought out they didn't include an icon for the TNT block but then they decided they would. The interacting avatar is based from your Xbox profile and isn't retro style, this is regular and is very similar to this type:
Controls
The in-game controls are very easy to get to grips with, they are very plain and are easily recognisable. E.g. LB to delete and RB to add another block. 'A' to jump, left anallog stick to move camera/view & right anallog stick to move the character around the world. This game doesn't include chain controls or combinations of any sort.
Overall Rating
Rating: 8/10.

Thanks guys and Large I haven't played Minecraft but I'm guessing it would be better seeing as it was the original creators of this style of game.
I can't believe 3 members gave it a rating of 10.
