I've bought The Cube as a Christmas gift for my partners kids whom are 8 and 10 and are big fans of the show. After having a go I think that it'll be perfect for them at that age and I would say it's good from 8 and upwards.It is as exact as it could be in my opinion and a direct copy of the show. You compete in a series of challenges (from 33 possible) in order to win up to £250,000 as you would in the show. You start with 9 lives and lose one each time you fail a challenge. You can take a trial run and simplify too. All the controls are dead easy to use and are basically just the A,B, up, down,left and right.You can choose Single Player mode in which you just try to complete challenges that The Cube has set for you.Multiplayer mode where you can go up against another person in a few different types of game.There's 'sprint' in which the screen splits and you play simultaneously non stop in the same games and the first to finish five challenges is the winner. We loved this version, quite nerve wracking when you can see your challenger getting ahead and leaving you in their wake! Although the games are the same as you play side by side, they are slightly different so you won't be able to copy/watch the other persons screen to see what to do! No cheating allowed!There's 'head to head' in which The Cube chooses seven random games and you take turns to compete and there are no trail runs or simplifies. There is only one life for each game, so you either pass or. . .fail!Lastly there's 'challenge mode' which is a team event in which members take turns to perform the same challenge and start with nine lives as in the single player game. But more people can have a go here, quite fun.In game play it does actually look like you're in the cube and all the colours are spot on such as the red balls and cubes that are used in the throwing challenges and the floor works brilliantly too for the challenges where blocks or pathways appear and you have to count or memorize them within ten seconds. Also just as in The Cube the floor turns green or red whether you've passed or failed and with the proper music from the show this all adds to the challenging atmosphere. The motion sensing is spot on too and it does react to how hard or light you perform the tasks.Before each challenge is performed 'The Body' which is that person all in white with a white helmet on, performs the challenge correctly to show you how it's done! This is the actual video footage from the show and not a computer animation.A few of the challenges we've had a go at are. . .- Drop Shot- Pulse- Memory Flash- Stop Zone- Descent- Totalize- Reflex- Vault- Succession- Time Split- Velocity- Revolution- Quantity- Time FreezeThere are 33 in total but I won't spoil it for you and describe them all.It also goes into slow motion as you're playing sometimes if you've got a perfect shot or. . .just missed by a whisker!So to sum it up its a great family game which has loads of replayability and will have everyone ooing and ahhing. My kids liked it and they're 14 and 20 and I liked it too.

Our family loves the TV show and the thought of perhaps having a go at some of the tasks seemed like fun.There are several different modes you can play on but I suggest you have a go on the normal method first, so that you understand what is required of you for each game, otherwise when you come to play head to head, it can be a bit of a guessing game! This is by far our best mode as we are a very competitive family - Nanny and Grandad do like to mock each other!Some of the challenges are a little far-fetched, with the controllers not really offering real-life motion but the concept is good and worth a laugh of an evening.

I couldn't help but feel after playing this game that it was finished a bit too soon (probably in time for Christmas). As stated in other reviews... you complete a game set by the Cube only for the floor of the Cube to flash red and tell you you've failed and consequently lost a life (very frustrating if you've only got 2 or 3 lives left). I also think that some of the 'games' were a bit too easy...especially when playing for big money.Not really much else to say other than if the few faults the game comes with can be ironed out then it has the potential to be a great family game.

I ordered this for the family to play at Christmas. It was out of stock everywhere and I didn't hold out much hope of it coming in time. Amazingly it arrived on Xmas eve! Great fun for all the family from my 7 year old to grandparents. The head to head challenge was a little tricky at times as was a quick fire round against the clock & your opponent and therefore no game explanations but you soon work it out and the more you play, you get used to the different games. Very glad I purchased this and great price too.

We bought this for Christmas and the immediate opinion is that it is a great game. I can see it will get played a lot. There are a lot of the games you see in the TV programmes. Some are easy but most are very challenging without being too energetic.Games can be played as an individual or against an opponent. There is also a quick fire routine where you have to complete as many challenges as possible in 5 minutes.A real wiiner.

This product is brilliant. I bought it for my younger brother who loves watching the cube. So this was a birthday present for him, he has played it every day since he got it because it is just great fun. Some of the games are a challenge but its still fun...its a game that the whole family can enjoy. Hours of entertainment has been had so far and it will be a favorite in our house for some to come

Knowing the family were getting various ipads, tablets etc I wanted to find a gift we could all enjoy. Various levels to play, some levels best to play first as there is an explanation of what to do!!!! Thoroughly enjoyable - some seem impossible but can be achieved. A game that can be played again and again with a sense of satisfaction!! Highly recommend for ages over 12 years.

This a competent attempt to transfer many of the familiar cube games to console\tv equivalents. There is minimal padding, which makes it ideal for the whole family because one is never waiting too long for your turn to come round.A great game for adults to play with kids, and a hilarious game for adults to play with each other after a tad too much alcohol :-)

Finally, a game that all of the children can play together. There are a good variety of skills required to play and my 5yr old is able to do just as well as the 8 and 10yr olds. Our Wii is in a pretty small room with only 1.5m between the player and the sensor and it would probably be easier to play some of the games in a bigger room.

Big fan of this on TV so got the Wii version and it's really good fun to play, like the real thing. I will say, some things aren't always massively clear so sometimes it doesn't 'respond' but perhaps that's just me! Overall, it's really good fun and a laugh. Quite a variety of different games to play.

When I saw this (after knowing and enjoying the TV show) I did wonder how on earth it would work on the wii but it does and is really good to try, not once but again and again. We haven't quite master getting the disk through the slit yet! Highly recommended to fans and non fans of the programme.

This game is so much fun me and my kids have a lot of fun playing it. I am disabled so there isn't much I can play on the wii woth the kids but this I can and we love it as a family and get quite competitive. It does require some skill but it's very realistic and I would definitely buy again.

We love the tv programme so thought it was the perfect gift for my eldest Daughter (22 yrs). Played it with all the family on Boxing Day and everyone enjoyed it including my 9 yr old (although struggled a bit with some of the tasks, but only to be expected. Would really recommend this game.

22.2.2016

Good fun. Great game for friends or family with a number of play options. Most play is intuitive and just down to skill. Finally found a technique for throwing the disc into the letter box which was to lob it rather than throw from the wrist like a Frisbee. Other than that good game

8.9.2013

We've all enjoyed this game. There are sufficient different games to challenge everyone, as well as giving us all something we could succeed at. We especially like the game where there is a spilt screen and 2 people race through the same 5 challenges to see who finishes 1st.
