Another Great Puzzle
 
Review Date: September 6, 2009
Reviewer: L,
After having learned how to solve the Rubik's Cube about 2 years ago I became more or less a collector of Rubik's products, and I must say that I am proud to have the 360 in my collection. The puzzle is very well designed, and if you're playing for the first time, it does take a bit of playing around to figure out the trick to solving it. However, it is not the most difficult puzzle in the Rubik's library. It ranks as more of a puzzle for anyone, whereas with the original Cube and any of the variations, you need to have a decent amount of patience to solve it (not to mention courage, when you get to the 4x4 or 5x5, neither of which I am brave enough to attempt). The 360 can be a bit frustrating, but if you work for a few hours you can get it. It's not nearly as bad as getting lost when you're almost done solving the Cube.

Cube experience does not seem to help; I don't know if this goes for "Cubers", but my fastest time on the Cube is a little under one minute, and it still took me a few hours of work (not necessarily all at once) to finish the 360. Regardless, it is a great puzzle for any Rubik's or puzzle fan, and the feeling when you finally solve it is impossible to describe.

PS: Amazon asked me to rate the "Educational Value" of the 360, and I gave it 2 stars, because if you really focus hard enough you can learn about gravity. =P Also, it feels pretty durable, but I can't be sure because I don't throw my Rubik's puzzles into walls or smash them on the floor (even if they can be annoying!).
3 Spheres + 6 Balls + 0 Cubes = Rubik's 360!

Reviewer: a reader,
Erno Rubik has done it again! The genius behind the most legendary hand held puzzles of our time is back with the Rubik's 360.

The first thing you will notice, is how beautiful this things is!! A clear sphere with 2 smaller clear spheres inside it the classic Rubik colors have returned for the balls and domes and the rotation device gives the toy a black outline. I'm happy with the product it looks great and seems very durable.

I have been waiting for this for months and I wasn't disappointed. Mr. Rubik's newest invention I think will please both the novices and veterans of his puzzles. The Rubik's 360 is without a doubt different from his other popular puzzles because there is more of an element of the unpredictable. Algorithms were vital for the Cube, but not here. You will tilt the 360 in all kinds of crazy directions hoping one of the balls will get out of the first sphere and makes it way past the second sphere so it has a shot at returning to its dome. Believe me, it's much more trickier than it sounds. However, if you keep at it I'm sure you will solve it within a few hours.

The 360 isn't nearly as difficult as the Cube, but what really makes it fun is how unpredictable solving it can be. Very often, the balls will roll out of the first sphere just to loop back again to reset their position. That trademark Rubik frustration is back with a new spin! Gravity is your nemesis here. I think expert speed solvers would have hard time mastering this in record time because of the less predicable nature of it. So I think the 360 will get plenty of respect from the hard core, puzzle crowd.

Anyways, if you thought the Rubik's Cube was too intimating, the Rubik's Snake was too easy, and the Rubik's Magic was too fragile than the Rubik's 360 might be the perfect puzzle for you. There are plenty of puzzles with the Rubik name, but the ones actually designed by Mr. Rubik are the best! Don't miss your chance to play this creative, addictive, and unpredictable puzzle.

This puzzling toy is great, it challenges your mind in a different way than the original rubik's cube, but it is still mind bending fun. I have yet to solve it but am looking forward to it just the same, now if I can just get a minute to myself I will take on its challenge. (^_^)!! I bought this for my son who is 9 and he is way into puzzles, so great for his age for sure.

When I first got this, I didn't know how to solve it. I went on youtube and figure it from there. Now, this thing is so easy to solve. I'm not a fast solver, but I take my time on it. It's a really cool puzzle and I enjoyed it. It's good for people who are into puzzle.
