Luxor Review

Luxor is one of those games that allows the player to "veg-out" while playing it...which is just what some gamers want! Not that it doesn't have any educational or other benefits...it actually does, as I see it:

-Luxor keeps the "hand/eye coordination" exercise routine intact, as well as some limited "strategy" challenges.
-Near the end of each level, Luxor also picks up the pace of action...to keep the gamer alert, as they attempt to 'clear all the marbles' before time runs out.
-Luxor also provides the occasional 'bonus' charms that float from the top of the screen after certain 'triggers' are met (i.e., certain number of color groups, etc.). By catching these, the game modes change temporarily (i.e., marbles slow down to make play easier, etc.) to help in completing the level.
-Luxor is essentially "benign" with regard to its encouragement of violence or other negative behaviors and attitudes...even though it might be loosely based on ancient Egyptian battles of some sort. At least there's no blood and gore with Luxor! I'd say Luxor is "safe" for all ages.

Luxor is fun to play...but only for a short while, at least for me! It has attractive graphics and overall visual appeal, and the music isn't "terrible", though it can get monotonous after a while (I always look for the "mute" option in most of these games anyway...just my preference!).
