It's like, let's say, you have to program a whole game. The deadline is 4 weeks. It was kinda like that since they had to get it for the release of Minecraft. Also, notice how it says at the top corner (I forget which one) "Alpha 2.3" or some crap like that.

But- they half assed- just about every feature- and never returned to 'em o_o
They added a few good things- like having passive mobs run when hit which allows it to be more immersive (except they run randomly instead of away from you). But as much as people wanted wolves, those buggers are better off dead, the moment you tame one, it will do everything within it's power to either kill you, or kill itself. lol

But relating to immersion, the binary weather (on | off) and swamp biomes- can break immersion immediately, at which point you're not longer playing the game, you become self aware that you're just some guy sitting at a computer trying to enjoy your lonely life. :[

Also- I hate invisible walls, worst thing you can do to break immersion. Glad minecraft doesn't have those.

Don't expect the same experience as you would on your PC.
If you've never played MC before then this might give you ask taste of what it's like.
But even then for $6-7 I would wait until they put out some more updates before buying it.

I've played Minecraft before, and we're already planning our wedding, but that's exactly what I'm doing. It's a painful wait though... ;o;

This is what I found...

One of the hottest requests for the highly popular Minecraft: Pocket Edition has been the inclusion of a Survival Mode, and now it's confirmed! While no specific date has been set, Mojang did indeed confirm that Survival Mode would be next on the development list for the hit portable game. Currently, Pocket Edition features a game mode which closely resembles Minecraft Classic, an early-development version which was the foundation of Minecraft (and later, Creative Mode in the full release).
