Rubiks Revolution trades up to LED

The Rubiks cube concept makes a revolutionary and visionary move

With the Rubiks revolution game concept the famed Cube trades up to LED. Undeniably, RubiksRevolution is a visionary move and a fun rethink of the old game. But does it go far enough?

We believe LED and modularity should be able to accomplish much more with times to come. So in that sense this repackaged classic gem gets plus for game improvement, but minus for smart modularity.

If you read my report there you know that modularity is the new name of the game -- it is expected to shake up the LED game market too. With it will come many new, unexpected and as yet unpredictable electronic games and toy concepts.

If you are an avid fan of the cube (like I was) you will be disappointed. You can not turn the cubes. They are there to light up, but mostly to remind you of old times.

It is a clever marketing frame though. Wouldn't you sit up and take notice if it is about the the Revolution of the Rubiks Cube? Of course you would. And that's the point.

Beyond that however, you might be pleasantly surprised. Because it will require the dexterity of hand-to-eye coordination you got so used to from turning and pivoting the cube. And my guess? It will entertain you. You will hear music and not-too-intuitive instructions as you move around in the six locked games it offers.

The good news for us Homo LED-ens ... ?

With rubiks revamped cube the LED games begin to pass the retro-inventive stage for good. Which is quite strange, given that a retro toy, the reincarnation of the 80s craze, Rubiks Cube 'mark 2' that drives it.
