Many people compare Minecraft with Lego sets, because this game is based at blocks. When you see Minecraft for the first time game graphic can be repellent, but after a while when you figure out basic things, then this game will provide a lot of fun to you.
There is two main game modes – survival and creative. You must go through survival mode because there you will learn how game really works. In survival mode you start barehand, without tools and weapons and you must made all that with resources which you will find in game. You must combine resources, in game that's call "crafting". With crafting you will make new elements, for example wood and stone can be axe or pick, wood and coal can be a torch etc. You must find recipes, because crafting in Minecraft is very important.
There is also some different creatures which will try to kill you, because of that you need weapons. And those creatures can kill you over night, so you need to find place for your home, of course with a lot of light. Or you can make a bed and sleep over night.
Also in game you will see creative mode. Here you will get all resources at one place, you don't need to make anything, just pick up whatever you want from your inventory and start building. This mode is great because here you need only a great imagination, you really can build whatever you want.
