There are some pretty decent original titles on WiiWare, it has become a competitive marketplace for developers to release their games. Which in turn means that many devs need to create something that stands out amongst the many other games already available. So after the very poor experience that was delivered by Rubik's World, also on the Wii, why would anyone even think about more Rubik's based puzzles? But after releasing the critically acclaimed Toki Tori on WiiWare, Two Tribes stepped up to the challenge to bring the ultimate puzzle experience to Nintendo's machine. So, should you rush off to download Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: Rush right now, or stick to using the that plastic cube many of us have grown to love? Read on to find out…
Gaming Nexus writes: "Last summer I reviewed Rubik's World for both the Wii and DS. Both games had the right idea but lacked something in execution. They were a little too obtuse to get into, and for a puzzle game that's a serious issue. The presentation was also a bit spartan, leading to an stale experience on both platforms. Well, Game Factory and Two Tribes have given it another go. Instead of two retail releases, their latest Rubik's game is a downloadable title for WiiWare. Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: Rush is the first in a series of WiiWare games based on the ubiquitous cube puzzle."
My Wii writes: "This game is a well-constructed puzzle game on par with the Art Style series of puzzle games which focused on a simple and effective game design rather than flashy graphics or complexity. In each level, you'll need to direct the colour cubes into coloured squares on the ground. You're given particular signs to help achieve this goal. They include directional, warping, stop and speed up, and conveyor signs. There is a short tutorial on how to use and interpret each sign."
Nintendojo writes: "When a company makes a licensed title, it usually either tries to take the licensed property and make a direct video game adaption, or it uses the style and artwork of the property it's adapting to take the property in new directions. In Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH, developer Two Tribes tries to accomplish both of these strategies, and the end product manages to be solid on both sides."
