A lack of advertising does not a bad game make.

This game surprised me with its lack of advertising and its wonderful gameplay. The powerup system is unique, the bosses are amazing for cubes, and the ability to evolve is slightly better that the old SNES game EVO. Also, the namas are a clever way to require players to vary their stratagies. And the square ripples in the water make this game all too wierd. Parents, be cautioned, there is a little blood in this game(all purple, cubic drops, square spatters) and the concept may seem kind of brutal (eat or be eaten) but the sight of your cube eating his first panel will make you swell with pride, and the sight of him getting his 100th evolution will make you weep with joy. Oh yeah... you might need to explain (or dodge) the subject of what goes on in those pink, heart-shaped caves, but be forewarned, forbidding your child to go into one is punishable by death in-game when your kid only has one panel and the boss has more that a stunning 6.

Nice Game

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

King of the Cubivores

Envision life cubed. You live in a cubed world, wander through cubed weeds and cubes full of water, and sport a cute little cubed body. When the sun rises it shines cubed sunshine and when the moon comes out to play, it also wears that shape. Other animals are shaped the way you are as well, and when you decide to eat you rip off cubed limbs and watch those cubed animals bleed puddles of cubed blood everywhere.

Cubivore is basically an evolutionary tale that takes you, a newborn, on a quest to be "The King of the Cubivores." To do that you have to find all the othe rtypes of cubivores, one hundred in all, and manage to "become" that type of beast. By becoming I'm not talking about the type of animal (ie: a pig) but instead the design of the limbs it has. The locomotion of the animal changes depending on what you take on, and you move forward in the game by adding appendages and taking out bigger animals. The addition of limbs comes from collecting certain types of things, which allow you to breed.
Ahhh, sweet cube lovin.

When you first start, you are weak and have to wobble around to find an advantage. You have one limb and, by the end, you can have five. That adds for interesting creature design and it adds for some really odd ways to take a beast into combat. You have statistics that control how strong your bite is as well and how much life you have, and you can also grow things like teeth and a horn that make you more powerful/ able to take off more of something. Along the way you also run across excercises that allow you to become more powerful, giving you a stronger bite or the ability to move in and bite off one of two limbs off of something in one swoop.

The flaws to the game is that it is an easy game to play, a button masher in some places, and tha you can beat it quickly if you simply wan tot play it through. Becoming the "King" is a little harder because you have to find all the different types of animals and sometimes that involves hidden areas and the coupling of types of shading, an dsometimes finding one of the hidden types is a little difficult. A few of the body types are hellish to use as well, making fighting almost impossible, and getting stuck with one of those is sometimes harsh. Still, an attack normally only knocks you over and takes one of your limbs at worst, and you can always get your limbs back by jacking up a lesser creature. So, running away works ooo so well.

That said, this is a great game and is one that I found fun. Its hard to find a different theme to play and this was one of those, and I loved it. I played it through until I managed to get all of the types, and then played some more to fight in some of the body types. As far as a "kids game;" the difficulty level is indeed easy BUT this game is all about ripping apart other animals. So, most people wanting something to sit and play their Gamecube to will enjoy this.
Its an underestimated game with a short playtime, but fun and something I liked. Try it first, see if you like it, and then buy if you find it sexy.

I love this 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.

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.

Great Game!

When I got this game I was delighted. I started playing it and I loved it! The only downside is you can only save after you finish a level or mate. Don't start playing hard levels unless you know you have a lot of time. Overall, I think it's a great game!

THIS GAME ROCKS!

Even by my standards, Cubivore is a pretty strange game. In the game, you'll become a pig, a bear, and a bird. In your quest to restore Wilderness to the world, you must eat continuously until you gain 100 mutations (150 are possible) and eat the Killer Cubivore. The graphics are lacking, but the cubic art style is unique and interesting, and shiny surfaces actually look good. Playability is excellent, and you'll almost feel you've become your beast. Sound is the high point of the game, and although the music tends to get repetitive, the sounds of animals roaring and screeching was outstanding. Since the game's only good for one time through, there's not much replay value, but you're almost guaranteed to want to play through to see the end. And unlike some third-party games, there are few glitches. Good game overall, but there are some better ones out there. Now, if only you could eat people in the game or its sequel...

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.
