 You pick it up and can't set it down... yeah, right. April 4, 2010

I am (or was) a huge Rubiks fan. I've solved the Rubiks cube several times. After all of the cool reviews and commercials I'd seen, I was super excited when I recieved the Rubik's 360. I read through the instructions and started attempting to solve it. Within a minute, I was ready to smash the thing with a hammer. I only kept going because I knew I'd hear people say, "You just need to give it a chance! One minute isn't enough to get the hang of it!" But after five minutes, I couldn't stand the sight of that sphere anymore. Forget what people would say; I wasn't going to waste my time on something that almost entirely depends on luck, and a lot of it.
The next day, I picked up the Rubiks 360 again. I figured I should give it another chance. It now sits at the bottom of the trashcan.
I encourage you NOT to buy the Rubiks 360. Do NOT waste your money on this pointless sphere. There is almost no logic or skill involved, though it is VERY durable (I would know... I tried to smash it several times). Please, do yourself a favor... DONT BUY THE RUBIKS 360.
 Fun but not logic March 2, 2010
technically, there's no code in solving this toy. All you have to do is spin it or shake it until one of the colors go in the first hole. Then you put it into the second hole and finally into the correct color capsule. I solved it by just spinning it around until one of the colors went in. It's a game of luck...i suppose. It is addicting though because when the ball is almost close to getting in, it gets on your nerves if it falls out again. You could say its one of those pin-ball games where you pull the lever and by chance, the ball lands on 100, or 500..etc....
In other words, you do not use logic at all...if you buying this product to exercise your brain...read a book instead!!
 Decent but a little too easy. February 26, 2010

Actually a fun puzzle but as other reviewers have said it is a little too easy. Opened box and had it finished within some hours. I will say that contrary to other reviewers there is some skill involved once you understand the mechanics of the puzzle. I can finish it within 5 minutes now. It's less a logic puzzle and more an engineering puzzle. Which is part of it's weakness. Once you understand the mechanics and can do any ball at will then the rest is just repeating the process. Also there might be a flaw with the hinge mechanism. When I originally got it the inner spheres swung easily thus increasing the challenge. Left it at work one day and apparently someone messed with it. Now the inner spheres turn slower making it even easier.

I bought this hoping for a challenge similar to the classic Rubik's cube which I already solved. It is really puzzling when you first look at it and realize that you have to 'defy gravity' to get the balls into the appropriate holes. It doesn't take a genius, however, to note that each of the interior spheres can be inverted upon one another so the balls can get through all the appropriate holes. This skill took about 10 minutes to master, and then I just had to apply it to the remaining 5 balls.
The good thing about the 360 is that if you do it once, it is not guaranteed that you will be able to do it again. It takes skill, unlike the traditional Rubik's cube which is 100% logic.

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.
