  1. The unique blending of 3D gameplay elements blended seamlessly with exquisitely rendered 2D backgrounds works extremely well, and there is so much Egyptian flavor I was half expecting to see the National Geographic or Discovery Channel logo in the corner of the screen.
  2. Everything I expected and more and this easily one of the most addictive easy to get into puzzle games on the system with full support of Xbox Live features.

    Luxor 2 doesn't quite reach "Hexic" levels of serious mass appeal, but diligent students of the genre will want to sign up for its invigorating new lessons. [May 2007, p.80]
  4. It looks great, it's dangerously addictive, and most importantly the wealth of professionally presented and enjoyable content makes it a value-packed purchase for anyone who likes a good puzzle game.
  5. Best of all, it doesn’t look like a cheap throwaway title that you’ll play for a few minutes and never play again.
  6. Luxor 2 still sits squarely in the “casual game” space. But it’s every bit as addictive as Zuma, and fans of that game will appreciate a product that feels slightly better produced in just about every way while retaining the same great puzzle action they love.

    Luxor 2 is fun, plain and simple. It won’t win awards, but then again it doesn’t really need to. It is after all just an arcade game, and I do love my arcade.
  8. It’s more puzzle game than shooter that should keep either audience busy playing through all 88 stages. It doesn’t have the same hook that other puzzles games have but it should have enough to justify the low price point.

    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.
