  1. It's an interesting take on the Twin-stick shooter genre and while the story really isn't anything special or engrossing, at least it has one unlike the majority of others.
  2. Death by Cube is such a simple game, yet so much fun and so satisfying once you dig in to the upgrade systems.
  3. Death by Cube has some great potential to achieve in a sequel; it's just that right now there are some serious flaws that are holding it back from achieving commercial success. Did we mention that it soon becomes frustratingly, bang your head against the wall hard? DBC is fun for a good thirty minutes, and after that you are better off putting it down, which is not worth the 800 Microsoft Points ($10) to download. Just go for the trial version.
  4. Players with the ultra-competitive wiring to endure Cube's frustrations will find a satisfying level of strategy beneath its berserk facade.
