It is interesting to see the Cubies come to life and express some emotion, without cartoon-y personification; they have no faces, no limbs and they don't speak, but they fly around excitedly. Also, a lot of their emotion is gained via in-game text that tells you what they are thinking. Their world is a very cube-inspired environment that looks sort of castle-ish. This castle contruct also serves as part of the UI. When you move from one menu level to the next, you zoom into the castle. This is just sort of window dressing, but it's a neat interface".
MyGamer writes: "Rubik's World is probably one of the only games to come out last year with vastly different game types that almost never connect to the greater whole and still managed to be very playable. At the lower 20 dollar price point, it does put it in direct competition with better, more well known puzzle games, namely Brain Age. This probably shouldn't stop anyone obsessed with interesting puzzles from buying it. While Rubik's World shouldn't be on the top of anyone's puzzle game list, it should still probably be somewhere on it. With interesting puzzles and vastly different events to jump into at any given moment, Rubik's World manages to be an easy recommendation for the person looking for another DS puzzle game".

I've always been one for a good puzzle, and in my mind, there is no puzzle higher in fun or prestige than the Rubik's Cube. So imagine my intrigue and skepticism when Rubik's World showed up for the Wii with its multi-colored "Cubies" in tow."
Gaming Nexus writes: "Ah, the Rubik's Cube. That innocent little puzzle that almost every kid has owned, and subsequently gone crazy trying to solve. The twisting, turning 3X3 cube made of cubes can be more maddening to solve for the inexperienced than the perverse "spilled milk" all-white jigsaw puzzle. The Cube has inspired competitions between professional solvers, insane time record videos on Youtube, and the popular Kobayashi Maru solution of disassembling the Cube and putting the pieces back in order. The Rubik's Cube has been a national phenomenon for several decades, so publisher Game Factory thought it would be a good idea to make a game based on the puzzle, and set developer Two Tribes to work making the games. Two Tribes developed two titles based on the Cube, one for Wii and DS, and I tried out the DS one first."
