Toys and Games Reviews of Radica Cube World Slim & Scoop Interactive Game
Customer Review: What my friend thinks of Cube World *Edited addition*
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't own Cube World, but a friend of mine does and here's what his review of Cube World is...
I previously bought one pair of Cube World Cubes for
series one and although impressed with the animation
felt let down by the limited vocabulary and the
non-existence of surprise given by an occasional new animation
sequence. The cubes have a four minute operational
time before they power down unless human interaction
extends the operation time for another four minutes and
so on. Most of the sequences programmed into one pair
of cubes can be viewed in this time. Despite my
misgivings, I decided to purchase the associated pair for
series one, completing the set. Each cube has it's own
animations where the individual plaything possessed by
an individual stick man is concerned. However, some
animations are common to call cubes including series
two. Because stick men can use other playthings owned
by other stick men in conjunction with their own
plaything, having the full set for series one or the full set
for series two expands the animation vocabulary.
There are further animation sequences on offer involving multiple stick
men either in one cube or animations across all four
cubes when assembled linearly. Similarly, adding a
cube from a different series cube to an existing set also
expands the animation vocabulary. Cubes do not learn
from one another, they merely offer or unlock
reprogrammed animations. However, don't be surprised if you
don't spot any new animations after 45 minutes of
constant observation. Repetition is a serious flaw with
this product. Playthings in series two are not accessible
to stick men in series one. For instance, the dog in
series one can interact with all three play things in
series one where applicable, but non of the play
things in series two. Only the stick men can cross series.
Series two is themed differently, each man having a
variety of themed play things. Inter cube interaction
involving playthings is not always as obvious as in
series one and is sometimes so vague that breaking the
connection or watching incredibly closely may be the only ways to
tell. That said, there are some very clever and amusing
animation sequences in both series.
Given that these cubes are based on the screen saver
theme, they would probably be best suited to
enthusiasts. They are relaxing to watch so those who like the
soothing sensation offered by aquariums may enjoy these
cubes when wanting to doze off. Art students studying
motion and movement may find the smooth animation
sequences helpful and those vaguely interested in
electronics and networks may enjoy mentally working out how
the cubes communicate. It would be an overestimation to
suggest these cubes would aid the study of social
science but there is an underlying message here. If you
like to think outside the box, these cubes may interest
you.
Parents should be aware that each cube requires it's
own flat cell battery and while they're expected to
have a reasonably long life, probably longer than the
child's interest, these batteries are not cheap,
especially if replenishment of an extensive collection is
required.
Description of Radica Cube World Slim & Scoop Interactive Game
Play 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 purple cube on to see Slim appear with his stick, which he will spin around, stick in the ground, or twirl like a baton. Turn on the orange cube to see Scoop and his dog come out to play. Scoop can tell his dog to sit, roll over, shake hands, 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 Slim?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 Scoop?s cube up 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. |
 |
| Each cube side measures just under two inches. |
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.
