Luxor & Luxor Amun Rising Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Amun Rising is essentially a continuation of the first Luxor game.Same methodology but different patterns/paths, more stages and more levels in three skill categories (beginner, intermediate and advanced).One nice addition is a scorpion power egg that wipes out all the balls up to the end of the chain.Some of the new patterns are devious and the final level in the final stage is dizzying.If you want to start a new game at the beginning instead of starting at the same stage where you finished, type in "-unlocklevels -unlockstages" (minus the quote marks) at the end of the .exe file.

Luxor: Amun Rising (PC Games) Review

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.

Luxor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are many "match three" games out there right now but this is absolutely the best, most addictive game I've every played (and believe me, I've played A LOT OF THEM).

The game play starts out slow enough to allow you to get the hang of it, then speeds up as you progress "down the Nile" (a nifty way to tracking progress, better than just high scores.

Normally, once I've managed to get through an entire game like this, I delete it and go on to another game. But I can't get enough of this one.

If you're interested, you can download a demo at gameblaster.com and try it for yourself. There are also plenty of tips among the "reviews" at that site to help you get past the hardest levels.

Zuma (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a highly addictive, relaxing way to pass time or just relax.
But first impressions of this game are deceiving.It seems like a simplistic, straight forward skill shot game.If you play it this way it will take you forever to conquer it.I was lucky enough to have my computer crash.When I started out the second time around - applying the knowledge I had gained - it made a huge difference.So here are the SPOILERS:

1.Try to see how long you can make the game last on the first round of each level.The game records your first score at each level and you get more points - and lives - if you did really poorly the first round.

2.Set yourself up for combos.

3.Get used to swapping the color balls.Look on the back of the frog to see what color is next and swap when necessary.
You'll need the extra lives to make it through the really hard puzzles.
