Rubik's World

he abundance of modes keeps things fresh while the creation modes are great for younger audiences just looking to jump in and have fun.

This puzzler, based on the classic brain strainer Rubik's Cube, is a collection of challenges divided into a series of minigames. It's simple but both fun and challenging and suitable for anyone with a desire to solve the cube. There are two extra modes where you can create music and build with blocks, but they don't add much to the experience. Nevertheless, if you're in the market for a brain strainer on the Wii this is a good bet.

You’ll need an appreciation for the cube itself to get the most out of this - and you may want to destroy whoever programmed the chirpy music and decided to call the cubes “cubies” and give them a story - but it’s a solid value for puzzle players.

Rubik’s World is a well made game for the most part, it just lacks a bit of consistency across its games, and is ultimately a title that will get lost in the sea of licensed products.

Despite a few drawbacks, Rubik’s Puzzle World is a surprisingly delightful game that should be given a shot by anyone who considers themselves a puzzle fanatic.

There’s about as much to complain about as there is to acclaim, but as a whole, it never rises above the level of an adequate game.

Rubik’s World has the right idea, but counter-intuitive puzzles, less-than-helpful instructions and finicky controls make this game more aggravating than mind-bending.
