Rubik's World set to stump Wiis

This blogger is more likely to throw a Rubik's Cube into a raging fire than make a realistic attempt at solving one, but surely some of you ~~superfreaks~~ readers out there enjoy the challenge. It's for people like you that Rubik's World was conceived, as it combines the iconic 1980s toy with modern-day technology.

This piece of software by The Game Factory promises "extremely addictive" puzzles that involve constructing 3D objects (therefore, you needn't worry, it won't simply be a virtual Rubik's Cube game). The press release also mentions navigating through mazes and creating your own soundtrack, the latter of which piques our interest.

Local multiplayer will support up to four players, but sadly, there will be no online play (aside from picture swapping and leader boards).

Solving a rubik's cube isn't all that hard really, once you figure it out.

So far my record is nine seconds...but that's only happened once.
I usually get it in around 45-50 seconds.
This will be exciting it seems. =D

So...you're Edouard Chambon, who just set the world record of nine seconds in February?

if this game is anything like the one that was on pc years ago, it will be fun. they were interesting puzzle games. there was, however, an included "game" to help you solve your rubik's cube.
