Cubixx HD Critic Reviews

Considering what you get for the price, Cubixx HD is a worthy investment that offers up tons of challenging game modes in a package that not only looks great, but plays great as well.

The controls are smooth.

It's much better than the Minis version, even if it's based on exactly the same principles, so if you liked what you played on the PSP – get this when it releases tomorrow.

The heroic thing about it all is that Laughing Jackal manages to reinvent Qix in a way that has evidently been completely beyond Taito for the past 30 years.

This incredibly addictive, though often frustrating game is at its best when you're playing with friends. Which makes the absence of an online multiplayer mode all the more surprising.

Simple yet surprisingly addictive idea.

Unique, entertaining, surprisingly diverse, and quite addictive. There's a lot of ingenuity and creativity here, and Laughing Jackal should be applauded for the effort.

Just the thing for retro-action fans.

Where Cubixx HD comes into its own is through multiplayer.

In the world of Qix clones, Cubixx HD does enough to separate itself with a variety of challenges and some interesting modes. It loses some points for not including any online in a game that offers 8-player co-op though.

A pure old fashioned score-attack hit.

If you do decide to pick it up, be sure you do so with the understanding that it is a game best played in quick spurts. If you are looking for something deeper, or more addicting, this isn't the game for you.

For the most dedicated puzzle fanatics, Cubixx HD will likely become a quick favorite, with an abundance of levels, modes, and leaderboards to compete on. However, due to some unfortunate design decisions, the majority of its players will likely never see all that it has to offer.

Overall, this game can be incredibly addicting and frustrating but if you are a huge fan of puzzle games, the $9.99 pricetag could make it worth it.

Cubixx HD is probably a great game for people who like a challenge because as you get closer to the 50th level you have many more enemies on screen and tons of laser chasers following you so you really have to think on your toes or fingers, whatever the case may be. At the low price of 9.99 on PSN it's not at all expensive, but just not the sort of game I would pay that much for.
