|  | | 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.

 Great gift January 5, 2009
Awesome toy and great gift. My 8 year old son received this and loves it. It has kept him quite busy and all of his friends love it as well. Certainly worth the money spent!
Either you'll love it, or hate it January 4, 2009
If you look at the reviews up top, you will see it is almost split in the middle 50/50. People either like it or they don't. I received this as a gift and was told it would be fun when the family was over and that no one would be able to put it down. That was an understatement, my wife and I were so surprised this thing was a hit with all our family members and guests who proceeded to try and beat each others scores. It was so entertaining to watch everyone use this thing.
In any case, if you are looking for the classic rubik's, look elsewhere. This is a different animal altogether. No moving parts, there are about 8 different games to play either alone or in a group and it involves pressing the middle button on the color side indicated. The more you get, the higher your score. Pretty simple actually. I found it entertaining and so did many of my friends and family. For under ten bucks, you can't go wrong.
 New-fangled isn't always better December 28, 2008
I bought two of these as Christmas stocking stuffers for my kids, ages 8 and 18. After seeing the commercial, I'd thought this was simply a standard Rubik's cube with noise (like just about every other toy has these days).
In reality, it's not the same thing at all. The pieces don't even move! Yes, there's an instruction manual that explains the various games which you can supposedly play on it, but that was one of the first things each kid lost, and after that it's impossible to play with.
So now, rather than a Rubik's cube for Christmas, it turns out I gave them both square paperweights that will no doubt be in the trash by the end of next week.
I have to disagree with the 1 stars this is a FUN and good Brain exercise toy December 27, 2008
Santa brought this to me and I am 53. I'm working hard at eye hand coordination and memory these days. This game delivers both. It is fun to see how far you can go and not mess up. You have to act fast and remember the sequence of the colors.
It even comes with batteries. I think it a great gift for any age and can see it a hit at a party. It doesn't cost much but delivers big.
 Revolution Rubik not a winner December 27, 2008
I was disppointed in myself for not reading the description of the non-moving sides. In a household of 4 including adults no one was impressed. I won't be buying a Rubik again.
