Review: Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest

Available On: Gamecube

Story: You play as a cube shaped creature called a Cubivore. You must eat other creatures to become stronger and then find a mate to evolve your species. Eventually you will take on the Killer Cubivore, who is at the top of the food chain, and controls the land.

Game Play: This is an action adventure game that also plays like an RPG too. Evolving into different types of Cubivore species affects your stats (speed, jumping, blocking, etc.). You tear your opponents apart and eat them to help with your evolution. You then find a mate and your offspring will have the new characteristics. This game is basically Darwinism: The Game being it's all about natural selection.

Look: The look of the game is cube based. I like how this look works for this game. If you're not into simple graphics than this is not a game for you.

Sound: The piano music really fits this game perfectly in my opinion. The sound effects in this game seemed pretty basic to me.

Replay Value: The only thing to do once the game is done is unlocking all the variants of the Cubivore.


Pros: This is a nice change of pace to the action adventure series by adding the RPG element and the natural selection twist. If you liked the game Spores for the PC, then this game is right up your alley.

Cons: I wish the levels were larger with more selections to customize your Cubivore.

Overall: This is a game that I would recommend trying only if it really interests you because it will cost you a pretty penny to get as most copies are on eBay for around $100+ dollars.

Score: B-
