 Great If You Can Modify ItJan 13, 2010
I received a Rubik's Brand 4x4 cube for Christmas this year. I can solve the 3x3 in about a minute and a half each time, I was looking for something harder and this new cube fits the bill perfectly. Up to a point, it is not like a 3x3, and is entirely intuitive. However, you can eventually turn it into a scrambled 3x3, and you solve it the same from that point on. Except for parity. Parity is a situation that can occur on a 4x4 but is not possible on a 3x3, and it requires at least two huge, horrible, difficult, chalenging, and crazy algorithms that you must memorize. But, it is very fun to solve and I recomend every Rubix enthusiast to get one.
Now, about the quality of this particular cube. My problem is with the stickers. The internal mechanism, a sphere, is fine. The physical construction of this thing is great. It moves well, and is very sturdy. But the stickers are not durable. Within three days, they began to peel. I then decided to take a risk, and customize it. I took it apart, and painted each piece individually with epoxy, then I scraped the excess epoxy off the insides of each individual piece once it dried. I then lubed it with WD40 and Vaseline, while putting it back together. The result, a professional looking and moving cube. It took a lot of time, but I think it was worth it. However, that amount of work would not be necessary if Rubik's were to spend about 5 cents more on each cube and get better stickers. The quality of the stickers deduct two stars from this otherwise five star cube.
I would recomend that you look at other brands for you 4x4, like Eastsheen, or maybe a tiled cube. Or, you could purchase better stickers for about a dollar and put them on yourself as soon as you get this cube. Or you could turn it into a frankencube as I have done with mine. But except for the poor stickers, this is a great cube, very chalenging and fun, and anyone will enjoy it.
fun for kids of all agesJan 10, 2010
FUN and challenging, no matter your age, this is entertaining if you like to solve puzzles.
If you are having trouble with reliability, you might check the game operator, I still have my Rubik's cube that I got when I was 8 years old, P.S. I'm now 44.

 poorly constructedDec 25, 2009
My son mastered the original cube, and had a lot of fun doing it. The first couple turns of this cube resulted in the little tiles falling out, before we knew it the whole thing had fallen apart. Do not buy this, it was very disappointing.
 Great puzzle for everyoneDec 07, 2009
I bought this cube because I can solve 3x3. This is really a good challenge, you get a lot of fun and you will not solve it so easy. Of course the cube is not so strong, but if you treat it well will last a lot, so it worth the price, I just recommend this, is so fun.

Breaks completely apart within secondsNov 19, 2009
My ten year old spent not more than 30 seconds on this cube before it fell apart in his hands. First one block fell off, and then the others rapidly came apart. Luckily we have all the pieces so we can return this toy for reimbursement. I totally agree with the other posts--this cube is defectively manufactured and should not be sold by Amazon.
