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."

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."

The Wii version clearly follows the direction of its DS brother-aside from some puzzle updates, control changes and graphical upgrades, the basic format and many of the puzzles are nearly identical. This brings along a lot of the weaknesses of the DS game, but there are a few changes that improve the overall experience."
