5.0 out of 5 stars So good you'll forget about the first two titles, May 16, 2007

By	William Parsons (North Little Rock, AR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Luxor 2, to put it mildly, is a vast improvement over the first two Luxor games. Once you play it, you may never go back to Luxor or Amun Rising again.

What's changed? The core concept of the game is the same, but the graphics are MUCH better...the improvement would be like going from the original Playstation to the PS3. The backgrounds are more creatively designed and are much more immersive, and the balls wobble in their tracks to simulate texture and grow and shrink to simulate depth of field as they move. FX such as lightning, flame, smoke, and explosions are improved as well. The scarabs that push the balls now crawl, roll backwards, and react to powerups.

Basic gameplay hasn't changed, but there are a few new twists, including:
- All the powerups from the first game and the Scorpion from Amun Rising appear, plus new powerups: a lighted net which catches falling coins and treasures, a color-changing cloud, fast-shooting daggers, and a lightning storm which randomly destroys balls.
- When a chain is destroyed, anywhere from one to four or five treasures (jewels, jewelry, etc.) are lauched onto the screen.
- The game now has a ranking system which grades your gameplay; the highest rank is Pharaoh.
- Each level features a bonus game which is very similar to the Challenging Stages in the game Galaga.

If you were at all impressed with Luxor, you owe it to yourself to give Luxor 2 a try.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overdone fun, April 9, 2008

By	Vince J. Filippelli (NY, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

With 4 Luxor games out now, Luxor II is correctly named.... #2. Concept is the same but much advanced from I and Amun Rising. More power ups, new sounds and graphics, what more could you ask for? I have a pretty fast machine but even after I lowered the resolution and detail, the mouse is hard to control on some levels, I think it's built into the game to make it more difficult but it actually makes it more sloppy and frustrating. I reccomend this game only for those who want a REAL challange. Others should move to any other (much more enjoyable) Luxor games.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you Love Zuma - This one isn't as good, but it will do., July 1, 2008

By	Lynn Hardy "~R~" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I loved the fast pace of Zuma. This clone slows down the rush. The balls come at a frustratingly slow pace. You still shoot colored balls, but you get penalized when they don't match. Yes this game has taken me much longer to beat, but the time spent with it is frustrating half the time.

When I'm trapped on the phone it will do, but I'm not recomending it to everyone I know like I did with Zuma.
