Luxor 3 is full of dazzle!

The colored balls now come in a variety of materials including glass and wood. They explode into different flashing shapes as gems and coins drop down at you from all directions. Catch four canopic jars and win a special level to play. Hit the rotating scarab and get more coins drop down which then can be traded in for all kinds of power-ups. The backgrounds are beautifully drawn and gorgeous. The special effects are dazzling. The only down side is that all that flash makes the balls' color harder to spot and harder to concentrate on. A feast for the eye, just a touch overdone.

Luxor 3 is the best of them all! The graphics are terrific, the game has many elements to it including bonus games and you can buy extra bonuses, it is not shaky and hard to shoot like Luxor 2. I took luxor 2 off my computer. There is a lot to do in this game. This one is well worth the money. I would reccomend this to anyone.

There are several Luxor games, the first one Luxor, beign the hardest. This one adds new features and is generally lots easier to do, but even the die hard fans of the hardest Luxor like this game a lot!! My 12 year old son rates all these games as better than 5's.

a little short

I beat the game in a couple of days which was a little disapointing. I think it was a little shorter than the original Luxor. I will still continue buying new luxor's that come out.

It's back

he most obvious aspect that sets this game apart from most others, is the incredible detail of the graphics. I eagerly awaited each new level and was continually amazed by the scenic images. The soundtrack for the game is just as impressive and really conveys the ambiance of ancient Egypt.

The object of the game is to clear a series of marble chains before they reach the end of the path by shooting marbles to create matches of three or more similar colors. The game mechanics are easy to learn and understand, and the levels increase in difficulty gently, giving the player plenty of time to get used to the game play. Unique puzzle bonus rounds in between the main levels are a great new addition and offer quite a challenge!

Really Enjoyable

I have spent many enjoyable hours playing this game and expect to spend more, i find it much more entertaining than Zuma, etc and much better than the other luxors. Graphics great and levels challenging so what more could you ask for. thanks.

I thought Luxor 2 was in many ways a huge step up from the original and Amun Rising, but Luxor 3 easily trumps 2 as the best of the series. My jaw literally dropped when I saw it being played for the first time, and after playing through one difficulty level, I can definitely say that this is the best of the series so far

The fundamentals of gameplay haven't changed; where this game differs from the others is the tweaks to gameplay.

WHAT'S CHANGED:
- The graphics and animations are even more detailed and richly colored than those in Luxor 2. Many backgrounds feature animations, and many have multiple tracks which can also change the direction the chains move. The scarabs now look and move like actual insects, even fluttering their outer wings and looking smashed when a chain is destroyed. Sound effects are also improved.
- New powerups: a match highlighter which shows you what colors can be destroyed; a spiked ball which blocks the entrance to the pyramids; a color switcher which changes all balls of one color to another; and others which seem to only appear in certain stages.
- New stages: puzzle stages where you have to use a set # of balls to destroy set chains of balls; defender stages in which statues block your shooting paths and cause the chains to change course like the mushrooms in Centipede; "crossing the Nile" stages in which you have to clear out long chains to shoot at a chain at the top of the screen, and survival stages in which you simply have to play out a timer. There are also secret stages which can be awarded if you break four special jars during the course of each level
- Powerups start out weak but can be improved by purchasing upgrades with ankh coins collected by blowing up large color groups and floating metal scarabs which randomly appear; you can also use the coins to buy different types of balls and different shooters

PROS:
- Amazing graphics
- The new stages and tweaks to the gameplay make the game feel almost completely new
- It's still as addicting as the other games in the series

CONS:
- As before, the "storyline" really doesn't matter at all to the game
- The glass balls are difficult to use, as the colors are faded-looking in comparison to the others and can be difficult to see on some levels

If you're a fan of the series, this game is a must-have.

so-so

I bought Luxor 3 because I really enjoyed Luxor 2, however, I beat this new version in nothing flat. It does have some neat new levels but all in all just too easy.
