Fun Cube Rating:4 out of 5 stars This is one of the cheaper cubes. You have to be careful when you turn or you can break it. I have a few of these cheaper style cubes, and I’ve broken one already. I’ve made sure to be careful with this one. Lubricate this cube and you’ll be OK. It’s definitely a new twist on the Rubik’s cube. Pay attention to the orientation before you scramble. It’s tricky to re-assemble. I found this to be harder than a regular Rubik’s cube.
Not a very good gift Rating:2 out of 5 stars I got this for my little brother’s birthday and he seemed to enjoy it at first, however, he later became obsessed with solving the cube. He grew increasingly more distant and eventually stopped talking to friends and family. It got to the point where he was down to 75 pounds because he refused to eat; While he was furiously twisting the diabloical block, it broke apart, sending numbered shrapnel across the room killing both our parents. Oblivious to our parents life-less bodies, he locked himself in his room, determined to repair the cube and complete it’s unholy puzzle. I could only hear animal-like howls and shrieks through the door. I haven’t seen my brother in twelve years. I’m selling our house; I’ll probably just brick up the doorway and plaster over it.
This item is dangerous and should be banned from sale in the US.
Sticky, but not in the right places. Rating:4 out of 5 stars I really like my “Soduku” cube. I highly recommend it for its select audience.
Negatives:
*It is not really soduku. This doesn’t really bother me, as the cube puzzle is more interesting to me than the math-fad. If you’re into soduku, and have never solved a normal Rubik’s Cube, this is not for you. Get the normal Rubik’s Cube first.
* The twisting is pretty stiff, and I have not yet found a good way of loosening it.
* It is a little weaker than a true Rubik’s Cube, so you should be careful about popping the pieces off the core. That can be fixed, but keep it in mind.
* The number-5 center stickers cover a hole where the screws to the core go, and that hole makes the stickers slip off way too easily. I had serious trouble solving the puzzle the first time, because my 5-stickers weren’t properly oriented. This is easily fixed with a little extra glue.
Positives:
* A great version of the Rubik’s Cube, where piece orientation is introduced for more complexity. Veteran cube solvers should enjoy the slow-down because of this.
The above single positive outweighs all the other negatives, so if you have solved the standard Rubik’s Cube, or know someone who has, this is a wonderful product.
Labels fell off when I first touched it. Rating:1 out of 5 stars Not sure if it was stored in a bad location, or more likely, they used really bad glue, but either way, the very first time I tried to rotate it after opening the package, 3 of the stickers immediately fell off.
Threw it in the trash after never trying it unfortunately.
SOB broke when I touched it! Rating:1 out of 5 stars I hate to bring bad news (I usually only write good stuff), but this product is SO BAD that I have to give you a warning.
I bought this at the same time I bought my Rubik’s Cube (about a month ago). I’ve used the Rubik’s Cube so many times my
forearms hurt, but I’ve only used this ‘toy’ once. Not even once actually. In fact, the first time I moved the top layer
it broke a corner piece and it went flying.
The FIRST twist!!! Are you kidding me!?!?
I honestly cannot rate this toy for its educational or fun value cuz I haven’t used it (it’s broke). What I can say is:
“This toy sucks and I would not buy it!”
If they make it durable…maybe I’d try it again. After all, I love puzzles. But it isn’t durable and was a waste of money.
Another Dollar Store Item, worth less than a dollar… Rating:1 out of 5 stars The industry needs to realize that making a toy as inexpensive as possible is not the way to make money. Sure, this thing is only selling for five bucks, but I would gladly pay fifteen for something that actually WORKED! I was so excited when this item came in because it looked like so much fun. You cant even turn this thing once without the individual cubes wanting to snap out. After every turn, you have to put the pieces back into place.
Lower grade quality Rating:1 out of 5 stars pieces are very fragile and pop-out while turning. Very hard to rotate. So difficult to rotate that you loose the interest in the play.
This puzzle is one of the most difficult puzzles I’ve ever seen….
It’s not Sudoko, and it’s not rubik cube..
It’s a new type of puzzle which is really intersting and challanging.. I really like it… ..
If you are clever enough I advice you to try it…
But be careful while you are playing with it.. I recommend to remove one of the corners and put inside the cube some Vaseline, otherwise it might be broken while moving
Difficult toy Rating:3 out of 5 stars I enjoy a challenge, but this toy is really difficult to solve. Sudoku puzzles and Rubik’s Cubes are fun, but combining them makes it nearly impossible to solve. I think it would help if each side were also color coded, but with it being entirely black and white, it makes it more difficult than it should be. It’s also somewhat difficult to turn. It’s a cute toy, especially if you like Sudoku puzzles and Rubik’s cubes, but don’t expect to solve this puzzle.
Very disappointed with the product… Rating:1 out of 5 stars I was really looking forward to a challenging puzzle, but the product itself quickly sucks the fun away from what could be a very interesting piece. First of all, the product received is not the same as the display picture. The one I got is of a very poor quality. It is very sticky, very hard to turn and a plastic corner on one of the number tiles broke off already. Not to mention that it arrived in a well sealed amazon box with its own packaging material, but it was NOT in it. The product description indicates a “new” item, but this cube could have been a “used item”… who knows. If you’re gonna buy this cube, you better make sure that you’ll get the same one in the picture; otherwise, you’ll be the one writing this review.
