Minecraft: Story Mode- The Complete Adventure - Wii U

We bought the first episode on the Wii U, but at the time I wasn't sure if they would ever complete it so I didn't buy any more. At first there were only going to be 5 episodes, but they did 3 more for a total of 8. Even after I was sure the 5 episodes were coming out for the Wii U, I wasn't sure they'd do the other 3 episodes. In fact, I don't think the final 3 episodes are available in the eShop yet but only on this disk!The gameplay is boring to an Adult, but kids love it. It's kinda a mix of a choose your own adventure, an adventure game, and a mini-game collection. It's all of these things, but none of these things are very complicated. The choose your own adventure part never lets the story go in a wildly different direction, but you can make choices that affect small aspects of the story later. The adventure game isn't much more than finding everything you can pick up and then sometimes using what you picked up. The mini games are often nothing more than a quicktime event. There isn't enough game for me to really get into this, so I was surprised by how much my kids love this! It's more of an interactive story, but my kids like Minecraft so much that they really like this.The story is great. I really like a fun story in the Minecraft world because it has encouraged my kids to not just dink around in the regular Minecraft but to make a bit of their own story! The first four episodes are a single story arc. All the episodes after that have continuing story from episode to episode but are much more episodic.The graphics are great. I hear they built everything in Minecraft and then imported the graphics into Telltale's game engine. My kids have now built some things from this game in Minecraft! If you don't mind the blocky Minecraft style, everything looks very good.It's a little bit buggy, but all the Teltale games are. I'm sure they'll patch things out some but that it will always be a little buggy. Load times are a bit long, but not too bad.My game works fine and is not defective. I'm sorry to hear that some are getting a bad game because I think Amazon's policy is that you can only return a bad game and not exchange it for another copy. I'm sure at some point that people tried to run a scam where they would exchange games they said were bad to get more DLC codes. People like that cause Amazon to make policy that's worse for everyone who isn't scamming Amazon and sadly applies even to games that don't have codes in the box.In the end, my kids are loving this. I really suggest it. I think it's fine to play it on the Wii U. But it's the same game whether you play on the Wii U or some other platform. If your kids like minecraft, they'll love this.

I bought this for my 9 year old and was worried there might be content on her that wasn't age appropriate. However, it's fine. I played with him and watched him play. It's just some cartoon violence but no blood or anything. It reminds me of a childrens cartoon movie except the kids get to choose responses to questions so they can see how the scene will play out based on the responses they choose. It's appropriate for 8 or 9 year olds and up (in my opinion). Don't buy this game if you are looking for a game that is played like the minecraft for PC or iPad or iPod. This is very different. It's kind of like a movie - but kids get to interact by making the character walk up to other characters to have a conversation or figure out how to solve a mystery etc. It's not an action game. Or the minecraft game. There is another game available for Wii U that is like the Minecraft you see on the PC. So, if that's what you want, don't buy this one. Also, I noticed that language on the App Minecraft Storymode has bad language that this game does not. I was honestly scared to buy this for him, but it's definitely age appropriate. It's fun for the whole family.

Fantastic! My 10 year old is a huge Minecraft fan and these stories do not disappoint. Even I found myself engrossed in what happens next! All 8 chapters of the story were on this disc. He got the Xbox 1 version from his dad for Xmas and that only had Chapters 1-5 on them, 6-8 needed to be purchased separately, so I'm not sure if the platforms are different for the various gaming systems? We have a Wii U and this version came with all 8 games. For the minecraft fan in your life this is sure to be a hit!

Make sure you know what you're getting. I guess we should have done more research. The "game" is not a multi level game. (As we thought it would be.) This is our fault for not looking at what it was exactly. It's cute for younger kids. Maybe under 8 crowd.That being said, I don't think we would have purchased it had we know it was more of a cartoon than a game.

I am completely satisfied with this purchase, it made the perfect gift to give to my little sister. She has had so much fun with this game and has already gotten so many hours on it it's really something. She's already talking about wanting to play through it again to choose the other dialogue options and see what changes. If your kid likes Minecraft (like a lot of kids these days) I recommend buying this game for them. Although do note that the controls are vastly different than what they are used to so they will at first be confused by how to play and may ask you to show them but once you tell them it'll stick with them. The story is great, nothing really to graphic or worrying for a kid, adults that like Minecraft can also get a kick out of this game as it adds some great perspective for veteran players. If you're into the Telltale style of gameplay I also recommend picking this up. Only issue I personally see is that sometimes the framerate may dip during some of the intense action sequences but it doesn't seem to bother my little sister all that much.

I am so glad that I was able to snag this before Christmas. My son was thrilled to receive this as it is only one of three things he asked Santa for this year. I love that it is the complete series so my son can play all of them in one place and doesn't have to worry about changing disks. It seems to have a pretty neat story line and keeps him interested. It is a lot different from the original Minecraft game, so do not purchase it if you are expecting it to be the same.

Arrived quickly and packaged carefully. Working perfectly. Very pleased with purchase.
