Looks good? That's because this isn't a screenshot from a netbook

What’s better than Terraria? Well, nothing… unless you prefer Minecraft. Unfortunately, this short post will guarantee you one thing: Minecraft Beta does not play well on a netbook. If you like slideshows, then Minecraft Beta is a great game to try, but otherwise, you’ll be better off playing Terraria if you are seeking a game that is a bit like Minecraft. A bit.

Conclusion

Nope, not playable at all due to very choppy FPS rates. There are some theories that state that due to the fact that Minecraft was programmed in Java, it causes a bit of a resource hog that a netbook just cannot tolerate. There are, conversely, C-based third-party Minecraft spin-offs which might or might not be the answer. Otherwise, avoid wasting your time on Minecraft Beta stock.

Gameplay: Intuitive…

Graphics: Slideshow with moments of flow (5fps – 20fps)

Work needed to get game to play: Can’t be fixed.
