  1. This game is capable of sucking away hours of your life without you noticing, which is always a great sign of addictive and highly entertaining gameplay.

    Another competent ball-matching puzzler. [July 2007, p.104]

    Despite its lack of originality and simplicity, Luxor 2 is still great fun and works well as a XBLA game. You'll start off playing "just a few" levels and then get sucked into 20 or more without realizing how fast time has flown by. That's the sign of a fun game.
  4. Those who play Luxor 2 as a puzzle game, taking the time to aim carefully, will play through all eighty-eight levels. In all, the replay value is a little on the light side. Some form of Live play would have stretched it a bit, although the repetitive gameplay is more at fault than the missing Live support.
  5. With no online play, you probably won’t spend too much time playing this game.
  6. The Egyptian palette swap and minuscule formula changes aren't enough to prevent Luxor 2 from feeling like the inferior Zuma rip-off that it is.

    There are far better ways to spend 800 Points. [Issue#20, p.116]

    Luxor 2 isn’t a bad game, and it isn’t entirely good, but it does offer some challenging and addictive levels now and then.
