    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    With no online play, you probably won’t spend too much time playing this game.

    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.
