Cubix: Race N Robots

"Got Addicted to a Very Old Game"

So, I was going over to my friends house, and he doesn't have a GameBoy Advance, just a GameBoy Color. So I brought my GameBoy Color and some games to his house. We sat down with our GameBoys and began to play. He played my games, I played his. I tried out Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, then popped in Cubix: Race N Robots. Looked a bit cheesy. Then, I began to play...

Gameplay: 9/10
I thought this was one heck of a fun game. I thought it was incredibly good, considering it was an old game. Riding around in a robot (I think) was very fun. Plus, the difficulty level was not over the top, but hard. Those are my kind of games. Maybe you like insanely hard games-but I don't. The racing is very fun because of twisting and turning and speeding ahead. I was (not trying to brag too much) pretty good, considering I hadn't played it before-because I didn't lose until Level #4 just because I didn't know the controls. I was whipping passwords down for Maximix.

Graphics: 7/10
If I rated it for graphics now, I'd give it a 1/10, but I rated this more like the GameBoy Color's power, not compared to anything else. But, I still thought they missed a couple of things. The edges around the cars were a little glitched, and your car didn't change except for rotation. They were only exciting for one big reason-color. The color in this game was pretty amazing (once again, though, for the GameBoy Color only). The streets and walls were very distinguished. I liked it.

Sound: 10/10
Once again, I am rating this for just the GameBoy Color. They couldn't get much better for this system. I don't remember if there was music at all, so I'll just say that the sound was great. The engines of the robots (or was it just Maximix?) the beep when you collect items, the crashing when you hit walls. (But that was pretty much the only sounds.)

Replay Value: 9/10
Because the gameplay is so good, you want to play it again, and again, and again. And, when you beat a race, you can play it again, but the password stays the same. When you turn it off, then re-enter the password to restore the game, then play races over again. It is very good.

So by saying, ''This game was very good,'' you can say that without lying, and even though this game is about 2 years old, it doesn't mean it's not fun, because it is fun.
