We all know there has been a fight going on about which is better. Minecraft? Or ROBLOX? Truthfully, both are very good games with brilliant programmers. First off, you will need to know a bit about each game to judge it.

ROBLOX Info~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roblox was created by founder and co-founder David Baszucki and Erik Cassel

(Erik Cassel died on the morning of February 11th, 2013 after a three-year battle with cancer. )

ROBLOX was created in 2004 and was released to the public in 2005.

In early 2006, ROBLOX only had one currency "Roblox Points", which have been discontinued and replaced with Tickets and Robux.

Since 2010, ROBLOX has been making body shapes which players could buy with Robux or Tickets. ROBLOX also announced that there would be bodies for Non-BCs but so far none have been created.

On December 11, 2011, ROBLOX released the ability to play games on iOS. The current devices compatible with running ROBLOX games are iPad2 and up, iPhone4 and up, and the iPod 5.

Minecraft Info~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Minecraft is a sandbox indie game originally created by a Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by Mojang. It was publicly released for PC on May 17th, 2009.

Markus Persson left Minecraft to go on and start creating other games he liked. Jeb Bergensten took over Minecraft and is updating it ever since.

Which is better?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both are good. I recommend both. :)

Well the advantage of Roblox is that the game is free. Minecraft costs about 20 bucks.

You can't really compare them. Minecraft is Survival, and ROBLOX is Social.

Comparing the two doesn't make sense. Roblox and Minecraft are on both different goals. Roblox's goal is to be a social network for younger players, supporting the fact you can create games.

Minecraft is a core indie game, where you're surviving in a blocky looking world.
The only social part of it is on servers, but that doesn't compare to Roblox's website.

So in all honesty, I think Minecraft is better, but that's not from comparing it. That's just how I feel.

Look on the Forum, "MINECRAFT is not cool..." by redtim to know why MineCraft is better than ROBLOX.

Both have their pros and cons.

ROBLOX Pros:
-Free*
-Detailed building
-Scripting
-Lots of (expensive) ways to customize your character
-2 ways to play (PC + Mobile)

ROBLOX Cons:
-Mostly not free
-Community is (mostly) horrid
-Tries to shove BC down our throat
-Lost of (EXPENSIVE) ways to customize your character
-Modifications NOT allowed by ROBLOX
-Site-wide banning


Minecraft Pros:
-Community is (Generally) better; more mature.
-3 ways to play (PC, XBox360, Mobile)
-Swedish
-Doesn't shove membership down throats
-Free (Somewhat limited) character customization
-TNT
-Modifications + Texture Packs allowed by Mojang
-Only Server-wide banning*
-Lets you test updates + give feedback to Mojang
-Responds to bug fixes immediately.

Minecraft Cons:
-Costs 25-ish USD to buy. Forever.
-Less detailed building
-No scripting, only redstone


I think I''ve made my point.

* = For the most part.
