Sometimes a game just doesn't do it for you. This was one of them. I pay 30 minutes of the trial and just quit. I simply wasn't enjoying it. The storyline was fine, the visual graphics should have been wonderful but someone with a mean streak like placing everything in the dark. It was very hard to find things because of that. Most of all, it was just that etereal something that was missing that just didn't make this a fun game. Too bad. Cause I really wanted to find out that others were wrong. They weren't.
I don't recommend this game.
Step into a time tunnel and experience Luxor like never before in Luxor Evolved!

I don't contest anyone else's review but this is definite a case of try it for yourself. I love Luxor. But I am not a regular pinball fan for several reasons. This game has all those reasons. I don't like tinny music that irritates me and sets me on edge. For some people this pumps them up. For me, it distracts. Of course, I can turn the music off. Second, I prefer more advanced graphics. As such, the farther you go into the Luxor series, the happier I am. This is a drop back. It's like we've forgotten everything we knew so we replaced it with neon lights. My sister loves retro; I love calm. This isn't calm to me; it is chaos.
I honestly can't say how challenging it gets because by the first few levels my nerves were frayed by the sound, and I couldn't find a menu option or a quit option, and I couldn't remember if there was a hot key, and I WANTED OUT! I finally hit CTRL+TAB and closed the game from my task bar and listened to sweet silence.
If you love Luxor and love the old, early-game, continual, unrelenting, background sound and simplistic, retro visual-themes, you may well love this game. If you are like me - not so much.
