Techno Source Rubik’s Revolution Reviews
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 . . .
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.
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!
