Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Luxor: Amun Rising is basically a retread of the first game with slicker stage graphics, some new twists, a new "storyline," and a new power-up.
What's different:
1.Three difficulty levels instead of the one level with escalating difficulty in the first game.
1.One new powerup, the Scorpion.When you catch this powerup, a scorpion shoots out of the pyramid and destroys the first 10 balls it runs into along the track (or however many are left in a chain if less than 10).If there are two tracks in a stage, it seems to attack the chain that's closest to its respective pyramid.This is an immensely helpful powerup.
2.Several stages feature obstacles on the track that act as dead zones; balls shot at them will simply pass through and hit whatevers above them.These can be frustrating if you aim or time a shot poorly.
3.Most of the stages feature slightly better graphics and more imaginative designs than in the first game, as well as some amusing names and decorations.The first stage, for instance, is called "Die Khufu Die" (obviously in reference to the incredibly frustrating stage 5-4, "Khufu's Revenge," in the first game) and features a picture of Khufu with spears sticking out of him.
Pros:
1.It's as insanely addictive as the first game.
2.The Scorpion powerup
3.Graphics are as good as the first, if not a little better.
Cons:
1.The storyline is just as superfluous to this game as it was to the first one.
2.It could've used more powerups, or even some penalty actions, to really spice up gameplay.
3.For a sequel, it's really not that difficult.The first game , in the later stages, was VERY difficult and was a genuine test to the player.Amun Rising presents very little genuine challenge, even on the expert level.This is my biggest complaint.
All in all, if you enjoyed Luxor then you should enjoy Amun Rising, but don't expect a huge leap between the two games.
