Daav from GG3 laments trying to play Guncraft. Not trying, because it has a steep learning curve, controls are complex or anything of the sort, but because it's impossible to find one game in progress, even well after release and after several rationales that don't add up. There's just no one playing, ever.
Didn't get that one game you really wanted for Christmas? If the spot under your tree isn't overflowing with game boxes, there's still a bunch of sales going this weekend to finish out the year and increase your collection!

Minecraft. That's the first thought that enters the mind when playing Guncraft. For most players the comparison will be immediate and obvious: voxels, blocks, a minepick, constructible-destructible levels, even the textures. It's not an unfair comparison. The developer itself, Exato Game Studios, has cited the game's influence. The game even allows for the importing of Minecraft levels into Guncraft, although the user can also craft levels with Guncraft's engine. What differentiates this game from that one, though?
Guns. That's the second thing the player notices when playing Guncraft. Lead spitting, blood splattering, head popping guns…and tanks…and hoverbikes…and helicopters…and AC-130 gunships...The idea should be obvious by now: Guns + Minecraft equals Guncraft.
Review for Guncraft which just hit Xbox 360 bringing all the fun of a modern shooter into the block building world of a voxel builder. Destroy blocks while also firing away at enemies in a number of modes in this online multiplayer game
I can't add tags at the moment since I keep getting an application error, will attempt to do so later. Please don't mark me down for it since it's out of my control
Damn I was actually thinking of buying this game but since I read this now I dunno lol.
Maybe people are just tried of all kinda Minecratf clones ?
If you give everyone guns, it isn't really Minecraft and yet they were trying to bank on Minecraft's popularity.
"You know what would make Minecraft better? If it played more like Call of Duty." said no one ever.
