Don't believe the hype

Not even that innovative at all, and boring as hell to boot. The only reason to get this game is because you think it may appreciate in value over time. It's more of a collector's item than an actual game.

It is actually tied with Killer 7 for the worst game I've ever played.

I got this game in a trade in at a local place, and boy was I excited! I heard it was like EVO for Super Nintendo, and frankly any game with custom evolution sounds like a blast to me.

At first I was having a blast. I totally dug the concept, the style, everything.

Then it started getting a little repetitive. No matter! When building up a character in any game, this happens! Unfortunately, the game is designed to periodically start you over several plot points behind where you just were. So it got even more repetitive as I had to accumulate the same major cube-limbs over and over.

Then, I beat it. What? That's right. In two nights, I beat this silly game. At first I was in shock. Then I realized I really did beat it. Once you've done all the little evolutions there is a bonus for some replay value, but really by that time you realize the repetitive nature of the game never stops and you don't want to go back and try again.

Add on the ridiculous problems with the mediocre camera and the rough controls, and you have a game that really just doesn't have enough content. 100 creatures to evolve into might be fun, except you can only do one thing with each of them over and over and over.

Is it still fun for little kids maybe? I dunno. There is a lot of adult innuendo, death-cries, cannibalism, and frustrating controls for a game populated with rough polygons. Sadly, those concepts aren't as fun as they sound either.

This game is a good game for GC

I like this game cause of what your dudes evolutions are like. No this is nnothing like Pokemon, its just the evolution. The evolution is like your dude gets stronger, not get tuffie lookin. Its a very good game but it does have a little blood, basically none. The story-line is cool and the game is a real adventure. There is some movie stuff but prolly like 2 or 3 hours total of movie-playing out of bout 61 hours of gameplay. Even though this game is rated Teen you really cant tell. If youre a parent and you got kids that want a good game for GC and not all this boring stuff you wanna get this game.

Kitschy & Entertaining!

My friend purchased this game for me for christmas (after I demanded it) and it was the best_gift_ever. Undeniably cute, I became obsessed with making sure my little cubivore ate all the lovebugs and mutated into the strongest form so he could attract the most ladies and produce the most successful offspring.
Although it's E rated (and it IS fun for everyone), the humor will more likely appeal to teens/adults.

THIS GAME ROCKS!

You're a cube-like animal, you hunt other cube-like animals, you attract female cube-like animals, what could be more fun?

Cubivore is a game that, if given the proper amount of care and fine-tuning, could have been a groundbreaking classic. As it is, this romp is only mediocre, with a few glimpses of originality. While the concept of following the life of your creature and evolving into 100 different types of animal and living in a Darwinian world of "survival of the fittest" is great, this appeal soon wears off when you find yourself stuck in the redundancy of it all. It's the same, old formula level after level, only more of it. And the game causes you to be reborn (to restart) three times already, so there's no incentive to go back and see it all again. With that said, Cubivore isn't great, but its quirky and clever presentation is something that's gotta be seen. If you can get it for a good price, then do so.

Awesome Game

Quirky and endearing are two words to describe Cubivore. You are a cube with meat flaps eating other cube's flaps to evolve into the King of Cubivores. At first the graphics may seem basic, but after playing the game, they are very appropriate and I love them as much as the rest of the game. Cubivore is an incredibly fun game with excellent music, an amusing story, humor, cool graphics, romance, violence, survival, limericks, and above all, great gameplay.

my favorite game

all though this game sounds like a bad game it's not! its actually the best game ever. in this game you start out as a newborn pig whos destiny was to restore wilderness back to the land. mutate and mate. until you you mutate for 100 times then you battle the killer cubivore. but besides pig there is also bear[hardest 1player] and bird[best 1 player] So good luck at getting to the top of the food chain.
