Toys and Games Reviews of Radica Cube World Dodger & Whip Interactive GameCustomer Review: Fun Time Wasters Summary: 4 Stars
I took my Cube World people to work and my coworkers and I waste 30 minutes a day watching their antics and playing their simple games (you know, when we're not working :) ). I do believe these are great if you just need a little giggle break duing the day (they scratch themselves and fart among other things), but these are definitely not a "toy" for kids...they'll get a kick out of it for a couple of hours and then probably never pay much attention to the little cubes again. I would love to build a little world, but I just can't justify spending another $20 something on these little guys.
Description of Radica Cube World Dodger & Whip Interactive GamePlay with one or build a world with Cube World Series. They'll play, visit and interact with one another. You can play games and pester them, tilt the cube and an interactive motion sensor will cause the stick men to fall on their side and upside down. Stack them for an interactive block party. Measures 1.83" x 1.83" x 1.83". The world is a cube and its inhabitants are stick people. And these stick people are sticking together in some very fun ways. Single Cube World cubes contain a character and something for that character to play with. Turn the red cube on to see Dodger appear with his ball, which he will dribble, head bobble, or kick. Turn on the yellow cube to see Whip use his rope as a lasso, jump rope, bullwhip, and more. If you prefer being in the game rather than watching from the sidelines, you can choose to interact with each of these characters via built-in motion sensors. For instance, if you tumble Dodger?s cube over and over, he will roll to each down-facing side with every turn--and may eventually get really angry with you. If you pick up Whip?s cube and shake it, he will fall and flail about. There?s also a good chance he will get physically sick from all the motion.  | | Collect and connect up to 16 cubes. | But things get truly interesting when you connect the two cubes together using the magnetic contacts that are on four sides of each cube. The cubes can be placed side by side, or stacked one on top of the other for interactive enjoyment. While both Dodger and Whip have unique animations, once joined together, they will play with, pester, and even protect each other. For instance, Dodger and Whip can now play catch with Dodger?s ball, or tug-of-war with Whip?s rope.  | | Each cube side measures just under two inches. | Other modes of play include music and games. When you turn the sound on, the figures will start dancing. When you start the game mode, you will interact with the stick character and see real-time results. The cube even tracks your high score. After four minutes of no interaction from you, Dodger and Whip will go into sleep mode, complete with animated snoring after they lay down. After another minute of no movement, the cube will shut off to help conserve battery power. When you?re ready to play again, simply press the "on" button for Dodger and Whip to appear. If you have multiple Cube World sets, you can connect up to 16 cubes in any vertical and/or horizontal configuration to see them all interact together (even if there are more than one of the same character). Since each cube can hold up to four stick figures, this makes for hours of unpredictable and thoroughly entertaining fun. Each cube runs on one CR2032 battery, which is included.
