[quote=Anonymous]It depends. The ipad version my son pretty much just spawned animals and killed them. I didn't get the educational value. But he loved it and wanted to take an after school class in the computer version. So we signed him up and bought the computer version with some hesitation. It is a completely different game. They can create, they use logic to make redstone inventions work, and they even learn to code. Given most schools stress the need for learning the keyboard for test taking, this alone makes it worth it. That being said, there are still days my son plays it just to spawn different creatures and let them attack each other. And there are other days he uses it to make elaborate inventions, that I can't for the life of me figure out how to make. So it really depends on what they do with it. I wouldn't let them play it 24-7, but in terms of video games, I think it has the potential to be more educational than most. [/quote]
