Rubiks Puzzle World (Nintendo DS)

This is much more of a dip in, dip out game than most puzzlers, if you have 5 mins or half an hour its just perfect, keeps your hands and eyes busy and as you get further in your brain too, great for filling in but not keen on all the puzzles and the virtual cube will never be solved by me, but still something for everyone, if everyone likes puzzles

I bought this thinking it would be a clever modern take on the age old Rubik's cube.How wrong I was.This game, if indeed it can be called a game, is so awkward to control that it almost renders it un-playbable.Secondly, there is nothing original here at all. It is simply an on-screen rubik's cube which you rotate/control via the stylus. You can save your progress, read hints, and toggle some extras such as different colours and sound effects.For less money, you could buy an actual Rubik's cube.The whole point of making videos games from toys is to do something groundbreaking and original with them. Like battleships, monopoly, card games, scalextrics, etc.. All of which have been re-visited in exciting new ways via interesting video game offerings.This ds version of the Rubik's cube offers nothing that a real Rubik's cube can't already offer. Thus rendering this game obsolete.Save your money.

After initial consternation about the difficulty of this game I have cracked the problem and enjoy it immensly. Even going through each group of games for a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time is just as much fun. It may help that I cannot remember which way I did it last time!

Delivery was prompt, well packaged. It is a birthday present for my daughter. I've briefly tried the game and it appears to be ok.

I bought this for my son who is Rubiks and DS mad - excellent game which covers both options with lots of fun and new ways to play Rubiks.
