"Luxor"
this worked really well on my computer and it is a blast to play. it gets my blood pressure going!!

"An Actioned-adventure puzzle game!"
Luxur definitely gets the adrenaline flowing. It challenges you with quick strategic thinking and focus. It's a hand/eye coordination challenge for the end user.

"Addictive but Difficult"
I love playing Zuma, so I was sure I would like Luxor too. It is just as addictive as Zuma but a lot harder to get through. Not only are there many more levels but the degree of difficulty naturally increases. There are a few levels where it's almost impossible to accumulate enough lives to get through and this is the biggest fault I find with the game. It's very frustrating to keep getting killed off on, say, level 11-4 and then having to return to 11-1 to start all over again with only two lives. I have heard that people have succeeded in completing the game, so I guess practice makes perfect.

Another problem is that if you move your mouse too close to the perimeter of the screen in order to get the best shot at the balls, the game pauses and you have to press the space bar to start it again (and usually have to click your mouse back inside the screen). This interruption is usually enough to interrupt the flow of the game and it's very easy to lose at that point. I hope it's not a deliberate ploy by the people who designed the game.

I get very frustrated when I play Luxor but it's so addictive that I do it over and over again.


"Buy this game!!!"
I have never played the CD-Rom computer games before scared of all the kids games I had seen with Kickboxing and all the graphs that just make me tired, but this games is great for adults and kids! Shooting jeweled balls sounds boring, but it is fun! Simple to understand and you can play for hours. It is great when you get home tired after a long day at work and just want to play and forget the day! I have to set a timer so I do not play too long and get nothing else done that night.
If you get tired of dying at the upper levels - try Luxor 2 next - you can set the level of difficulty to easy on it and just cruise through having fun. I do think it is valuable to play Luxor and get used to it first before buying Luxor 2 - it is too easy to get lost in the graphics if you have not played the game before.
Enjoy!!!

"If you like Zuma, get this one"
I was a total Zuma addict and played it through 4 times. I bought Luxor because it looked similar and found it just as challenging and fun. Levels get pretty tough starting at Level 7, but it is possible to play all the way through without cheats. If you think Level 8-4 is bad, just wait until the very last level.
