It's almost a cruel joke on Rubik's fans. Buy it thinking it's an advanced version of the old favorite and find out that the pieces don't even move. The "games" that are programmed are nothing more than pressing lights as fast as you can. Clearly meant to lure in people hoping to solve a puzzle, but there's actually nothing to solve. Cheap plastic too. The idea that it costs anything more than a dollar is outrageous. The gall, the gall . . .

Although it's not terribly complex, this is a pretty fun toy. It's mostly about trying to beat the clock and develop quick reflexes so that you can press the right buttons and turn off flashing lights fast enough so that the cube doesn't turn itself off and make an irritating ehh-ehh-ehh beeping sound.

I think you can ignore most of the negative reviews this has gotten on Amazon -- they mostly seem to be from avid fans of the old, original Rubik's Cube who didn't understand that this is a different toy, and somehow feel cheated that the Rubik brand has been used for a new purpose. But if they had read the packaging or tried the toy out in the store they would have known this is a different product altogether and maybe not got so upset. I tried this in the store and enjoyed it, same with my kid and same with our relatives. It's a fun toy -- lighten up!

I purchased this at a toy store thinking it was some sort of giant electronic Rubik's cube. It is not. It does not twist or turn. It simply looks like it might. Instead it is a solid chunk of plastic that plays Simon like games, in which you press buttons on the center of each side. If you want an oddly shaped Simon game, this might be the toy for you. But if you are considering this item because it has the "Rubik's" name on it and it looks like the classic puzzle you should probably reconsider.

I feel very misled and wish I had not purchased this item. The packaging does not state what it does or does not do. They are leveraging the shape and name of the cube to sell something completely unrelated.

My mom bought this for her three grandchildren when it first came out. My 3 year old and my 6 year old really like it. Now, my 3 year old really can't do much with it, but my 6 year old is pretty good at some of the games. He brought it to his boy scout meeting and the other boys all wanted to play.

It's entertaining for adults too... as other reviewers have said, it's like Simon and Bop! Challenging too. It is NOT a rubik cube by anything other than name, but it IS fun.

This product has some bad reviews so far but people are not reading the product description as it does state it is a electronic game. This game is alot like a simon or a bop it.
Our kids have our old rubiks and never has much use for them. They do love the bop it and simon type games though.
This game does have several different games and this game does help develop hand eye coordination and memory.
The price seems high but even the plastic no frills non electronic rubik is 10.00 ore more these days.

when you open it, you will discover it has nothing to do with rubik's cube.

It is a very different and annoying "game" - you gotta remember the sequence of annoying lights..


no problem-solving skills whatsoever.

sham marketing.

I was mislead into buying it because of its visual resemblance to the original Rubik's cube and of course the name Rubik. But it does not even remotely resemble the original cube in concept and functionality. It DOES NOT TURN! The recorded voice that talks to you is harsh and irritating. For me it is a worthless piece of junk. I just bought it a couple of hours ago and it is definitely going back to the store.

My daughter enjoyed this toy but after several days of palying with rubik's revo, the stickers started to come off. Its a hassle because we have to glue it back again and wait until the glue dries up.

It has nothing of Revolution is more like "Regresion". Is not educational,
nor fun, creative or nothing. Stay away from this so called toy.
Is a big piece of junk. Not fun at all and has nothing to do with Rubiks cube, it just seems like. I couldn't give it zero stars, I wish I could.
It doesn't turn or rotate, it lasted the time it took me to smash it on the floor, because the place I got it, once opened it can not be returned. I've been ROBBED. Don't throw away your money with this junk.

Ok, I admit it. I did not really read much about this toy before I bought it. My 7 year old asked for it and I bought it. I guess I wanted to relive part of my youth from when the original Rubik's cube hit the stores. Unfortunately, this toy is nothing more than a light game. It does not rotate like the original. There is really nothing educational about it. It not really challenging. You just push the light that is blinking and hand it to the next person. And it is LOUD! I thought it was going to be a really cool, new version of the classic. Serves me right for not reading about it first.
