 Best Luxor yet ! December 5, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have played the other Luxor games and also the similar Zuma game. This is the BEST of the bunch. It is challenging, but not impossible to beat. The different modes make it fun. Highly recommended. Evan an old fart (like me) whose reflexes are not lightning fast can do well with it.
THE LUXOR SERIES COME TO AGE December 5, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
After ZUMA's success, a number of clones appeared - but the LUXOR series is the one that actually improved on some aspects of the concept. As the series progressed, LUXOR games became more and more self-reliant. With LUXOR 3 the franchise finally comes to age.
A series of colored balls (with the number of different colors increasing every few levels) gets pushed and you have to match them in sets of three or more in order to remove them - and prevent them from reaching the end zone. Instead of having the "shooter" in the center, it is located at the bottom and it slides left and right. This makes for some quite difficult shots (especially when obstructed by the advancing row of balls) and raises the difficulty of the game.
On the other hand, the power-ups are more powerful, at the end of every round a number of coins and gems drop and "catching" them add lives to your paddle. It seems pretty straight-forward yet it can become highly...addictive!
Compared to the first installment of the series, LUXOR 3 is graphically more impressive, enriched as to the dropping bonuses (and...penalties) - yet it will seem somewhat easier to seasoned players of the series; nevertheless, it will fulfill the fans craving for more pharaohnic fun!
This is an example of what has come to be known as Casual Gaming: small, resource-light games that are fun for the whole family.
It would be a good idea to download the 60-min trial version from a casual games site, such as REFLEXIVE (you can Google it), and decide for yourself whether this is indeed your cup of tea. It wouldn't hurt to wait for the price to drop either: most casual games sell for no more than $10.
RECOMMENDED!
Wonderful new way to play Luxor!!! November 16, 2007

It is still the Luxor we know and love, but with a new twist! Now the screen changes from classic screens to puzzle to shoot across the nile screens! It is more interesting for longer continous playing!!! Also remember all the money that was just a way to keep score in Luxor 2? Now the money means something! There is a store to trade the money for better powerups! Anyone who likes the other Luxor games must try this one!!!!
