Posted by rossrubiknickname on November 27th, 2008 at 07:57pm

The Rubik’s Revolution came out about a year ago, however I never had a chance to officially review it for all of you loyal viewers out there. A few comments, but nothing official. So here is my Official Rubik’s Revolution Review!

The Rubik’s Revolution is the newest Rubik’s Cube type product, following the Rubik’s Professor or 5×5x5, the Rubik’s Revenge, or 4×4x4, and of course the Rubik’s Cube, 3×3x3.

Unfortunately, the product is merely branding off the Rubik’s Cube. The revolution does not move. All it is a cube shape and nice colors. The cube has 6 games:

• Light Speed
• Pattern Panic
• Multiplayer Madness
• Rapid Recharge
• Code Cracker
• Cube Catcher

Some of the games seem to be repetitive, but overall the games are fun. My personal favorite is Code Cracker. Light Speed is the classic game you find on the commercials. Try to press the button first and repeat.

Problems with the Revolution: The sound control. As infinitesimal as this sounds, it is quite annoying and important. There needs to be a way to either turn off the sound or at least turn it down. The noise is loud, obnoxious and frankly disturbs everyone around you.

Also, the packaging is nice, but unreasonable. The revolution runs about $20 in-stores. This price could easily be dropped with better packaging and use of plastic. This packaging may be good or bad. Depending on if you like the collector’s item value. However, a simple collector’s edition revolution cube could have solved this.

Again, the revolution doesn’t even move. It is merely just some branding. My synopsis, buy it for fun and collecting. Children will love it for Christmas and other holidays.

Here are some nice links to by the Revolution cheaply:

Rubik’s Revolution Rubik’s Revolution is an all-new spin on the world’s #1 Cube! It features 6 addictive, fast-paced electronic games in one; Light Speed, Rapid Recharge, Pattern Panic, Code Cracker, Multiplayer Madness, and Cube Catcher. The games are speed-based, strategy-based, or a combination of both. Conquer one level and the cube unlocks another, so it is always challenging, never impossible. When you play, the Revolution will announce your score and/or time. Features include multiplayer gaming, lights and sound effects. You won’t want to take your hands off the Revolution! 3 AAA batteries are required (included). Ages 5 & Up.
