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.

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.

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.

I personally do not play this game but my husband can’t hardly stop once he gets started and will play it even after he beats it just to beat his last top score. It’s a very well invested solitaire game for him. He had beaten the first one over and over and over again so I bought this one and the 3rd one for Christmas for him. It’s a joy to find something he really likes to sit and pass time away with at his leisure. He hasn’t even put in the 3rd one yet- he’s still enjoying this one even though he’s beaten it.

Better graphics – more dimensional. Seems to fire slower than Anun Rising and I’m stuck on level 9-3 which is a little frustrating. Don’t like the delay when the level first opens (can’t shoot anything for about 3 seconds)and sometimes it gives you colors that you don’t need and no where to launch them — which means a greater chance of losing. If I can’t get past level 9-3 soon, I’ll probably uninstall.
