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.
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]

I actually really like this game. Today I picked up the XBLA disc, played, and oh my god, was it fun. The soundtrack, great. The gameplay, was great in my opinion. I highly recommend this game.

This is an amazing sorprise, this gameplay like Zuma is incredible, but the levels of Luxor are fresh, funny, and addictive, Luxor 2 is awesome, and I never can imagine that I say this.

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.
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.
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.
But the chief difficulty is simply sustaining your interest. It's boring and easy, and it takes too long.
The idea isn't bad, but the campaign is stupidly long. The levels are extremely repetitive, and the game isn't addicting- it's boring. The game feels endless, and there's no motive to play it. The achievements on it are awful- getting to the highest rank will take hundreds of hours play. As for the exclusive challenge mode, it is literally pressing one button as fast as you can. That's not a challenge. That's pointless.

Summary The much anticipated sequel to the #1 casual game of 2005, Luxor 2 sets the new standard for action-puzzle casual games. Luxor 2 still offers the addictive and easy-to-learn, yet difficult to master game play which made the award-winning Luxor franchise such a smash hit, while taking the game to a completely new level.
