Luxor is a fun game but has low replay value. It only has one mode with only one difficulty which is easy difficulty, depriving players who want harder challenges. It does not have any freeplay modes which players can choose any level they want to re-play.
I don't recommend this game.

Luxor HD is the original game made in Luxor 2 style, borrowing features from 2 and 3. For the game difficulty, what I like is that it is a bit slower than those in Luxor 2, allowing beginner players to get used to the pace of this game more easily. The graphics are fantasic with real effects but I think there is slight room for improvement as it could be made in real 3D like Luxor 2 and 3.
I recommend this game!

The level design is much less desired compared to other Luxor games. Furthermore, the graphics is a far cry compared to those in Luxor 2 and Luxor 3. Some of the good powerups like color cloud, sand storm are gone and the substitutes are worse. E.g. the whirlpool lasts only for a while and it is only useful if it is at the beginning of the path. The only new powerup which is good is the double shooter. Even then, it is a nuisance in the bonus mode. As for the existing powerups, they are degraded (e.g color shooter) or kill accuracy (e.g lightning ball). New powerups like the lead barrage and spiker also kill accuracy.
To be fair, the game has a good point which is the People's Choice levels which allow players to replay levels from past Luxor games. However it is marred by the graphic deficiencies and the game music is incorrect in some of the levels.
I don't recommend this game.
