So whats the fuss?

What makes minecraft so good?
I played the old version they have on their site but its not really that good, some videos I've seen show the ability to make objects and fight monsters but I haven't seen any of these in game, are the new versions of the game much better?

Is there anyway I can play the latest version for free to see what its like? Try before I buy?

the point is, you make it all your self, and you can basically make anything.

Plus it's great fun when your with other people. I don't think theres an update free verision :l

This. You are only limited by creativity.

But ermm, you were palying creative mode (unlimited blocks, basically a big lego), whilst people u saw were playing survival (the paid version of the game). It is a LOT better when playing survival.

I've managed to get my hands on v1.1.0 alpha (ofline only) its actually growing on me, but I have no idea whats going on.
I played with the water for a day straight, then when night came I down beat the crap out of.

I'm trying to work out how to create diffrent items, could anyone link me to a guide or decent fansite?
