Toys and Games Reviews of Techno Source Rubik's Revolution

Customer Review: Not the original, but what is?
Summary: 2 Stars

I purchased Rubik's Revolution not fully knowing what it was ... other than the next generation Rubik's cube. Like most people, I imagine, upon opening the package my first attempt to interact with the toy was turning the sides. I was quite surprised when they did not move. Next I noticed the on/off switch an began playing. Each colored side offers a different variation of the same game:

* Press blue to play "light speed" This version of the game requires you to press the light which appears in the various colors in a given amount of time ... the goal is to press as many lights as you can.

* Press yellow to play "Rapid recharge" This version requires you to press whichever color begins to flash ... warning you each time they do - again quantity is the goal.

* Press green to play "Pattern panik" This game is something like the old Simon game Pocket Simon a color sequence will begin and you must follow; gaining a new color after each correct sequence.

* Press silver to play "Kube katcher" At the start of this game you are given thirty seconds to press one of the four random lights, upon pressing the light a new light will appear ... the goal is to acquire 100 percent accuracy.

* Press red to play "Multi-player madness" Up to six player can participate. The first player starts by pressing whichever random light flashes and then is asked to pass the kube to the next player. In a hot potato style, the player holding the cube when the buzzer sounds is eliminated ... game ends when only one player remains.

* Press orange to play "Kode kraker" This game is the most difficult as no lights are on. The player must find the predetermined kode by pressing the lights ... a buzzer will sound if the sequence pressed is in the wrong order.

Most will enjoy this attempt to revive the old legend that is known as Rubik's, but know that outside the name, there are very few similarities to the original klassik.

At a Glance

Ages: 5 and older
Requires: 3 AAA batteries (included)
Spin On A Classic Game
Built in the exact shape and size of the original Rubik's Cube, the Rubik's Revolution features six different colored sides -- each with its own game. Unlike the original toy, the sides of this plastic cube don't rotate to solve a single puzzle. Instead, each fixed face of the cube has a lighted button in its center square. When you turn on this electronic toy, the talking cube asks you to press a color button for one of the six games. This robotic woman's voice also calls out the colors and gives you your score at the end.

6 Fast-Paced Games
"Light Speed" requires you to turn off the lighted cube lights as they pop up. The faster you can do it the greater the challenge and the better your score will be. In "Rapid Recharge" it's your mission to light up the entire cube at once -- and quickly -- before the squares fade out.

Like the memorable game of Simon, "Pattern Panic" challenges you to memorize and repeat a growing sequence of lights. Logic and reason could help you crack the secret code in "Code Cracker," while "Cube Catcher" is a race against the clock to turn off as many lights as possible. Last but not least, "Multiplayer Madness" lets you compete against your friends. Passing the cube back and forth, you have to turn the lights off faster and faster before time runs out. The last player not eliminated is the winner.

Fun, Easy, and Addictive
Caution: this fun cube game may be addictive. While the hard plastic cube holds up to heavy use, including the occasional fall as players pass it back and forth in "Multiplayer Madness," the holographic colored squares can start peeling back without much effort. If this happen, kids should ask their parents to glue or tape the squares back down. While the Rubik's Revolution is easy to learn -- mastering the toy is another story. But unlike the classic Rubik's Cube, which isn't for everyone, just about anybody can and will get better and better at this game with a little practice.
