"If any game reviewers want to review MInecraft before the release on Friday, feel free to review the RC2. There might be VERY minor tweaks."

Note that this list includes various crashes, countless graphical glitches, dismantling from boats onto stone slabs meaning instant death, and that some game worlds might be created into an unwinnable state from the start.
How do you review a game where there's a chance that the player might not even be able to win at all? ...and where the basic concept of infinite exploration, is thwarted by the game only allowing you to (possibly) finish the game via fortresses found close to your spawn point?
They KNEW about these things - they just didn't care.
