    In the world of Qix clones, Cubixx HD does enough to separate itself with a variety of challenges and some interesting modes. It loses some points for not including any online in a game that offers 8-player co-op though.

    A pure old fashioned score-attack hit. [Aug 2011, p.92]

    If you do decide to pick it up, be sure you do so with the understanding that it is a game best played in quick spurts. If you are looking for something deeper, or more addicting, this isn't the game for you.

    For the most dedicated puzzle fanatics, Cubixx HD will likely become a quick favorite, with an abundance of levels, modes, and leaderboards to compete on. However, due to some unfortunate design decisions, the majority of its players will likely never see all that it has to offer.

Not only doesDespite the fact that HD Cubixx is sometimes frustrating (in a good way), this is surely a game that everyone should try out. Not only does the core gameplay come from a retro piece of 1980's genuis, but also the game is very fun to play, especially with the additions Laughing Jackal have made to the scoring and and enemy types. Wonderful music and beautiful graphics are sure to please anyone who trys it.
    The only downside is a lack of online play, which would be great. Playing splitscreen is amazing, but it would be nice to try this game on multiplayer at full screen size .

    Cubixx HD is definitely worth £6.29 and and makes the original look like a teletext game.    … Full Review »

So when Cubixx was released as a PSN mini I was very intrigued and parted with my money. The idea of having six playing areas is terrific idea. So like most I was sceptical when Cubixx HD was released. Was it just Cubixx in HD? After reading a number of reviews it was clear that the team had worked their magic and added loads of new features. Not only does my TV show that the game runs in 1080p but the game how boasts 50 arcade levels, a variety of challenges, leaderboards and split screen 7 player multiplayer. Personally haven't chance to do this but the 7 player stuff in the trailer does look totally chaotic. There are many classic arcades games out there that have had the 21 Century twist applied and this is certainly up there with the best of them. Definitely recommended.… Full Review »

The old-school Wolfied has turned into a three dimensional thrill with it. The arcade mode is long, the challenges are fun and the remaining game modes (Score, time and line attacks) are there to keep you busy for a "very" long time. The three dimensional touch to an old, classic game couldn't have been any better than this. It's the perfect implementation of a great idea. And the bonus is playing levels with up to 7 players and the death match mode to compete with friends. An addictive and fun game that deserves much more credit. Simply put, ten out of ten.… Full Review »
