What a great thing this is!!!
If you can solve it, be proud! October 30, 1999 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a really cool toy! I love it! It occupies your time, in a way that books, games, or other things can't do. Eventually at school you'll be known as the "Rubix-cube Queen" (and want to be a rubix-cube for haloween, but not have time to make a costume because you have too much homework, because you go to the most excelled high school in your city). It's pretty cool. If you're really bored, this is the toy for you!
Great Toy with educational value. October 29, 1999 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I learned how to solve the cube when I was in junior high school, and I think this is a great toy. It does a great job at teaching geometry and spacial reasoning. To solve the cube you have to be able to visualize what the cube will look like after 3 or 4 moves. Very similar to the skills acquired from playing chess.
Brilliant and Elegant; Simple yet Challenging October 24, 1999 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This toy ranks with the famous Yo-yo in it's appeal to all levels of players, from serious brain-gamers to casual fidgeters. It's movement mechanism alone is a brilliant credit to it's creator Ernst Rubik. It is fun so long as you don't get frustrated by being stumped. It certainly is durable; mine sat idle for a decade until recently I began playing with it again. Many of my friends too young to remember it's mid-eighties debut found it irresistable and bought their own cubes. It can teach one thing and teach it well; concentration. It's terribly addictive; play at your own risk!
fun, not quite as well made as the original October 5, 1999 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This toy is fun for most anyone who loves puzzles. Unfortunately the Oddzon version of the cube is constructed differently than the original Rubik's Cube. The original cube used springs in the mechanism which allowed the pieces to float a bit, making the cube easy to turn. The Oddzon cube seems not to have springs and feels very tight. It is hard to turn this cube sometimes. Also the plastic laminate used on the stickers is peeling. My original Rubik's Cube's stickers aren't peeling after twenty years. Other than the stickers, the Oddzon cube seems quite durable.
