Editorial Review: Product Description: The 4x4 Rubik's Cube was launched over 20 years ago and is now a Classic.. It is not more difficult to solve than the original 3x3 cube but requires different techniques. Are you up to the challenge? If not a solution and hints booklet is included! Customer Reviews

 Rating: - The fun continues.I started cubing at christmas when i was presented with my first 3x3x3 cube. I was determined to master the thing. Eventually i was able to do it and i'm working hard to get a quick time. I decided to go for a little harder challenge and so the 4x4x4 was the obvious next step. It was a challenge but knowledge from the 3x3x3 one makes it easier to pick up strategies and techniques. Once you master this the 3x3x3 seems so much more simple. This is deffinutly a good buy for people wanting more then a 3x3x3. But if your just starting out go for the 3x3x3 as you deffinutly need it to understand this one. 5x5x5 here i come!!! Rating: - Great FunI recently bought a 3x3x3 classic rubiks cube of which i found extremely entertaining yet when i began to master it, thought of it slightly easy. I decided to put my money where my mouth is and go for the 4x4x4 cube. It is a lot harder as there is no center square yet there is such fun to be gained trying to piece it together. If you have mastered the 3x3x3 cube get this!!! If you cannot do the 3x3x3 cube, don't!! unless of course you are willing to undertake the challenge!! There is an excellent guide on youtube on how to solve both the 3x3x3 and the 4x4x4 cube so don't be put off if you are a determined person!! Go for it!! Rating: - Excellent extension to the standard cubeThis is (maybe obviously) rather much more tricky than the standard 3x3x3 cube. The real aspect that makes this one a challenge (for me) is that each side has an even number of squares, and so the is no square in the very centre of any side. So you have to put the four squares in the centre of each side there yourself. Not only that, but you must also place the red centre correctly in relation to the yellow and the white centres etc. This is quite tricky. Then there are further complications with parity (odd/evenness of permutations for those who understand) with the middle-edge pieces. There is still an element of guess work in that stage of the solution for me to this day (perhaps something I need to master). There ...

If you thought the standard Rubik's Cube was too hard, or if you've never tried these cube puzzles before, stay well away! However, for those who have already mastered the original Cube, this one adds extra challenge. Just to give an idea, my Dad was a bit of a speedcuber back in the day, he could solve the original Rubik's Cube in no time at all, yet he gave up on this one very quickly! Once you've cracked the Revenge, you can apparently move on to the Rubik's Professor Cube which is 5x5x5! Mind-boggling stuff. Rating: - I love my toy!I had been doing the original 3x3 Rubik's cube since it first came out in 1981, so when I saw a 4x4 version, I had to buy it. It is so much more fun, given that the middle pieces aren't in place, and there is great scope for creating patterns. If you liked the original cube, you'll love this! |
