 What my friend thinks of Cube World *Edited addition*Aug 18, 2006
By Melanie B.
"mizztafied"
I don't own Cube World, but a friend of mine does and here's what his review of Cube World is...
I previously bought one pair of Cube World Cubes for
series one and although impressed with the animation
felt let down by the limited vocabulary and the
non-existence of surprise given by an occasional new animation
sequence. The cubes have a four minute operational
time before they power down unless human interaction
extends the operation time for another four minutes and
so on. Most of the sequences programmed into one pair
of cubes can be viewed in this time. Despite my
misgivings, I decided to purchase the associated pair for
series one, completing the set. Each cube has it's own
animations where the individual plaything possessed by
an individual stick man is concerned. However, some
animations are common to call cubes including series
two. Because stick men can use other playthings owned
by other stick men in conjunction with their own
plaything, having the full set for series one or the full set
for series two expands the animation vocabulary.
There are further animation sequences on offer involving multiple stick
men either in one cube or animations across all four
cubes when assembled linearly. Similarly, adding a
cube from a different series cube to an existing set also
expands the animation vocabulary. Cubes do not learn
from one another, they merely offer or unlock
reprogrammed animations. However, don't be surprised if you
don't spot any new animations after 45 minutes of
constant observation. Repetition is a serious flaw with
this product. Playthings in series two are not accessible
to stick men in series one. For instance, the dog in
series one can interact with all three play things in
series one where applicable, but non of the play
things in series two. Only the stick men can cross series.
Series two is themed differently, each man having a
variety of themed play things. Inter cube interaction
involving playthings is not always as obvious as in
series one and is sometimes so vague that breaking the
connection or watching incredibly closely may be the only ways to
tell. That said, there are some very clever and amusing
animation sequences in both series.
Given that these cubes are based on the screen saver
theme, they would probably be best suited to
enthusiasts. They are relaxing to watch so those who like the
soothing sensation offered by aquariums may enjoy these
cubes when wanting to doze off. Art students studying
motion and movement may find the smooth animation
sequences helpful and those vaguely interested in
electronics and networks may enjoy mentally working out how
the cubes communicate. It would be an overestimation to
suggest these cubes would aid the study of social
science but there is an underlying message here. If you
like to think outside the box, these cubes may interest
you.
Parents should be aware that each cube requires it's
own flat cell battery and while they're expected to
have a reasonably long life, probably longer than the
child's interest, these batteries are not cheap,
especially if replenishment of an extensive collection is
required.

 Ehhh...Sep 20, 2006
By Corbin Doi
"Doiski"
Okay, heres the deal.
Cube world is a little toy, where you get 2 cubes per packeage, and each cube has a little person. Each has a hooby. In this case, scoop loves dogs, and slim likes to do stuff that involves sticks, or something.
It wasn't as good as people raved about it.
I mean, it's fun and all, but it won't keep your attention very long time. I probably need more, but then, why would I want more cubes? The cubes are highly overpriced, a price of a good DS game, and they get BORING.
I sugest, to make it more fun, is to give one to a friend. So avery time you see him, you can connect your two cubes together have fun watching them. Other wise, it wasn't very good.
Buy ONLY if you have money to waste. If you could have one toy, it would not be this one. I suggest something else, less exspensive.

Good for Boys!Dec 12, 2005
By Nick's Mom
My son purchased Cube World and loves them! They're great for boys because the stick figures pass gas and throw up. Boys really love that stuff. His little sisters have put them through the ringer (dropping them and throwing them) and they're still working fine. He took them to school and the other boys went wild. It would be great if they were in the stores, S/H is costly.

 Cute!Feb 11, 2007
By J. Necaise
"Disney Fan"
After opening these cute little cubes on Christmas Day, everyone aged 8 to 70 years old wanted to watch these stick men play. When stacked, they play tricks on each other and do all kinds of funny and adorable things. What a great gift for kids of all ages but especially the 8 to 15 year olds. Although, I'm in my 40s and I watched these little guys play for quite awhile before my pre-teens took them away from me.

Cubes Are CoolApr 03, 2007
These cubes are not very exciting if you only have 1 but if you have 2 or more, it is much better. You can watch them come over to other sticks' houses and do really funny stuff like blow up other sticks' heads and fly around the cube. The only problem with them is if you drop then 2 or more times, they freeze. 1 never went to sleep again and the other one froze.
These cubes are good gifts for people like computer,T.V., and Wii freaks.
They are good presents for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Passover, and
Chanuka. Kids from 4 to 11 like watching these cubes do silly things and play games and do something to entertain themselves. Trust me, I know everything about these cubes.
Never give these cubes to 3rd,2nd,and 1st-year-olds because they might want to mess with the magnets and stick little thing in cracks of the cube.
Always trust me be cause I know everything about these cubes.
