Toys and Games Reviews of Rubik's Cube Brain Teaser Puzzle with Helpful Hints
Customer Review: Brilliant and Elegant; Simple yet Challenging
Summary: 5 Stars
This toy ranks with the famous Yo-yo in it's appeal to all levels of players, from serious brain-gamers to casual fidgeters. It's movement mechanism alone is a brilliant credit to it's creator Ernst Rubik. It is fun so long as you don't get frustrated by being stumped. It certainly is durable; mine sat idle for a decade until recently I began playing with it again. Many of my friends too young to remember it's mid-eighties debut found it irresistable and bought their own cubes. It can teach one thing and teach it well; concentration. It's terribly addictive; play at your own risk!Customer Review: a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
ok, the bad points first... the stickers sometimes come off, some of the colors fade badly and the cube is too tight initially and too loose after a lot of use.but these are only small niggles - the rubiks cube has become a classic toy. mine is on my desk at work and is great therapy!
the eductional value is slightly dubious, as no-one ever actually works out how to complete it themselves, but its good for co-ordination and 3D awareness.
i cannot think of any other puzzle style toy that maintains an interest so long after being solved...
my desert island will have a cube on it...
Customer Review: One of the ultimate puzzles.
Summary: 5 Stars
Rubik's cube is definitely one of the ultimate puzzles. It's a very clever puzzle and is a lot of fun. It can also be very frustrating!!As far as fun is concerned, Rubik's cube gets 5 stars. Even if you know the solution, it's still fun time after time.
For educational value, 5 stars. This puzzle really has you trying to figure out how it could possibly be solved. Which is why having the solution book is very helpful.
And finally for durability, 3 stars as the stickers can start to loose their stickiness. But overall, Rubik's cube is definitely a good puzzle and is worth buying.
Customer Review: inexpensive cube, cheap quality
Summary: 3 Stars
This is both an inexpensive and cheap cube. You're getting what you pay for it.
I bought this cube to replace my original 80's cube which has deteriorated. I use this cube a lot (spending 20 minutes a day with it at least) and within two weeks all but the white and center stickers began peeling up. After another week, all but the white stickers are in very poor condition. I'm frustrated by the poor quality of the stickers.
The turning of the cube was very silky when I first got it, but has become a little less easy--still quite acceptable though.
Customer Review: fun, not quite as well made as the original
Summary: 3 Stars
This toy is fun for most anyone who loves puzzles. Unfortunately the Oddzon version of the cube is constructed differently than the original Rubik's Cube. The original cube used springs in the mechanism which allowed the pieces to float a bit, making the cube easy to turn. The Oddzon cube seems not to have springs and feels very tight. It is hard to turn this cube sometimes. Also the plastic laminate used on the stickers is peeling. My original Rubik's Cube's stickers aren't peeling after twenty years. Other than the stickers, the Oddzon cube seems quite durable.
