I've spent a couple of days playing the Survival mode in Minecraft: Pocket Edition and while it makes for some enjoyable gameplay there are a few flaws.
The difficulty bar I mentioned
a few days ago makes it impossible to allow mobs to spawn. Due to the inaccuracies of the touch screen controls you stand no chance of survival against the hoardes of monsters. It makes the experience very dull and without mobs you can't lay your hands on any of the items they leave when defeated.

The other problem with Survival mode is the sheer lack of things to do. I spent forever digging beneath the surface to find some sign of a cave or dungeon and apparently there aren't any at all. I actually tunneled to the edge of the map! You'll find no diamonds, lava, gold, redstone or any other item that makes Minecraft what it is.
The Creative mode on the other hand is an entirely different story. You gain access to a much wider variety of blocks and items so you could easily while away a train journey constructing whatever springs to mind, I've nearly missed my stop a few times.
With that being said; here is a giant Gameboy I built a while back that you can run around in. ^_^

| Seriously, I have no idea how these two got up here. |
