Post Luxor Revievs here. I'll start with mine.
The first, classic Luxor was kind of a test. It featured only one game mode, one difficulty level, average graphics and limited powerups. But it had a lot of potential to become a great game. Thus, so many sequels were released, each improving something in the game. But overall, the first Luxor game isn't bad. It does have some bugs with gameplay and playing the same mode can get boring eventually, but I still enjoy playing it. Latest Luxor games have superb graphics, tons of special effects, lots of different powerups and a large variety of game modes to choose from. But if you want to just play the most classic and simple game in the series, the first Luxor is the best. Newer games in Luxor series went a bit too high with special effects and graphics that they became wery distracting. In the classic Luxor, there aren't any distracting effects used, yet the graphics still looks nice. Soundeffects and soundtrack are a big plus for the game, except for when you experience constant music changes due to spheres entering and reentering the danger zone. Gameplay is the simplest it could ever be. No matter if you are an experienced player or a person who has just stumbled across this game, you get to start from the same level, as there's only one difficulty mode available. This makes the game have a low replay value. Advanced players will find it too easy at some point, while new payers can be completely stuck at one level they can't pass because they cannot lower the difficulty level. The game doesn't even feature a free play mode to practice individual maps, so you only get to play a specific maps in adventure mode. The adventure mode itself is long, featuring over one hundred levels which gradually get harder and are grouped in 13 stages. This Luxor game, even though the oldest, features probably the best maps from all Luxor series (in terms of gameplay). There's a total of 25 of them, each different and interestingly designed, there are also several double-track maps, having you protecting two pyramids at once, which adds some variety and action to the game.
Overall, Luxor is a fun game, which is the most classic of all Luxor series. If you have played newer Luxor games and never touched the original, I recommend you to do so.
Graphics: 35/100
Gameplay: 60/100
Sound: 75/100
Overall rating: 50/100
