 Another great thinking toy May 7, 2007

This is a great puzzle for anyone over the age of ten. Anyone younger would probably get frustrated with it too easily. Overall it very fun to solve, even if it does get mundane after you figure out the technique. It obviously takes more time to solve than the classic 3x3 cube, but once you know how, it definitely isn't any harder. The cube comes rather stiff (hard to turn) from the factory, but after you play with it a while it tends to loosen up. The only gripe I have is about how easy it can be to "lock" the slices by not having them lined up right, but once you get used to it, you have the problem less and less. Suggested for anyone who enjoys a good challenge!

I love the original 3x3 Rubik's cube and I play with it all of the time. All of my friends had this 4x4 and it looked really fun. So I bought this 4x4 Rubik's cube and waited many days for it in the mail. Then I got the package, opened it up, started playing with it, and then 3 pieces snapped out and fell on the floor. One of those pieces was a center piece that can't be put back on. I wasn't even spinning the cube that hard, and it just broke. So right now I wasted 20 bucks on a broken piece of junk cube.

If you've mastered the 3x3 cube and are looking for a challenge, go for the 4x4. As we all know, competitive cubing is almost exclusively on the 3x3...however, if you want to bone up on your cubing skills this is a great training cube.
There are so many more combinations and permutations of cube coloring in the 4x4 design...think about it, there are 96 sub-cubes in this version vs. 54 in the original 3x3 cube.
Like many of the other Rubik's products, this cube is not flawless. Stickers peel easy and there's a bit of squeak in the twist action. I wouldn't use in a competition, but like I said 4x4s are rarely used for competition. Buy as a training aid.

Good sequil to the original cube. I've invented my own method to solving it by using 3x3 techniques. Only two minor problems with the cube. If you are spinning it really fast, sometimes a cube will pop out, and for some reason the orange colored stickers fray faster than the other colors. But other than that a really good buy.

I used to love playing with the 3x3 Rubik's cube as a kid and decided to get it for my son for Christmas. I mistakenly ordered the 4x4, but decided it didn't matter - still the same kind of fun and challenge. The day it was opened, the stickers started to come off and when I tried to use it, within the first 30 seconds, four pieces came off, one of which broke and can't be fixed! I just went online to order the 3x3, but are finding similar reviews about stickers, etc. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!
