5.0 out of 5 stars I love my toy!, 14 Sep 2005

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars

I had been doing the original 3x3 Rubik's cube since it first came out in 1981, so when I saw a 4x4 version, I had to buy it. It is so much more fun, given that the middle pieces aren't in place, and there is great scope for creating patterns. If you liked the original cube, you'll love this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent extension to the standard cube, 26 May 2007

By	Crazy Andy "Bargain Hunter" - See all my reviews

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars

This is (maybe obviously) rather much more tricky than the standard 3x3x3 cube.
The real aspect that makes this one a challenge (for me) is that each side has an even number of squares, and so the is no square in the very centre of any side.
So you have to put the four squares in the centre of each side there yourself. Not only that, but you must also place the red centre correctly in relation to the yellow and the white centres etc. This is quite tricky.
Then there are further complications with parity (odd/evenness of permutations for those who understand) with the middle-edge pieces. There is still an element of guess work in that stage of the solution for me to this day (perhaps something I need to master).
There is indeed a 5x5x5 professor cube also. The professor cube is not in every respect more difficult than the revenge, since the professor cube has an odd number of squares on each side, and so eradicates some of the difficulties of the revenge. I believe now that 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 cubes have also recently become available.
One last thing about the revenge - it is structurally more complicated than the standard cube, and so is probably less durable for that reason.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect sequel to the 3x3, 10 Dec 2008

By	Louis Vallance "fs geek" (Sheffield, SY UK) - See all my reviews

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars

Believe me when I say this: Solving the 4x4 Revenge is not more difficult than solving the 3x3, rather it requires slightly different techniques to be used. Whether you have mastered the 3x3, or you'd rather face a different challenge, the Revenge is JUST for you!

Essentially, the bulk of the method involves solving the cube exactly like you'd solve a 3x3. The extra challenge involves orientating the centers properly since there's no fixed center piece (YIKES!). The only potentially confusing thing about the 4x4 is pairing up the double edges, or dedges, and there are only a couple of extra algorithms to learn (these are just pre-defined sequences). The manual makes a dog's dinner out of trying to explain the method so I strongly recommend that you click onto youtube and search "how to solve the 4x4". There are great videos out there that give a personalised explanation of the method. If you think you can crack it without a tutorial, great!

I struggled to rate the cube on durability since I've only had it for a couple of days, but as with all Rubik's brand cubes build quality is not of the highest standard and since the mechanisms involved in the 4x4 are considerably more complex the thing's bound to be more temperamental, and DO expect to pop out a piece every now and then (it's normal and happens to everyone once in a while).

Once again I should say that solving the Revenge is not a big step up in difficulty, there's just one small thing called parity which is also explained all over the internet.

I highly recommend this cube and wish you hours of happy solving!

Update: I accidentally stood on the cube after leaving it on the floor and it exploded into all 56 pieces, cracking one of them and rendering the entire thing useless. This may be stating the obvious but the Rubik's brand Revenge does not take kindly to feet!
