 Totally Adictive April 4, 2008

"Totally addictive" - true. I haven't finished this game 2 times like I have on DS, but it is still a lot of fun. I'm glad that Luxor has finally branched out off the PC and came to a console that I can play without sitting at my computer. I actually had to borrow my son's PSP.
fun average game December 3, 2008
Not much to this game other than shooting rolling sphears but it's actually a fun game, perfect for PSP and yes it's addictive.
 Puzzling December 28, 2007

When it comes to video games, probably the most addictive kinds are puzzle games. Classics like Tetris and recent titles like Brain Age, have made gamers go wild with addiction, and still prove that they are popular for years to come. While puzzle games have thrived for most video game systems like the Nintendo DS, they just have missed the mark at times for the Sony PSP. While Lumines has been the only puzzle game to score well with gamers, everything else has been a knockoff from other games like Mind Quiz was to Brain Age & Big Brain Academy. Now, another spinoff comes to the PSP with a little Egyptian feel, but does it do enough to master gamers minds, or does it make you cry mummy?
Luxor: Pharaoh's Challenge for the Sony PSP, takes the simple marble race game, as you try to connect three of the same colored balls, without letting any lane touch the center where it is being sucked into. This isn't the only Luxor title released for the PSP though, as a knockoff to Luxor 2 was issued last year for the system. There are over 80 levels in this version, a far fewer than the edition fo the Nintendo DS, and the control doesn't show that it is as easy to manuver either. The graphics fair well with each level and the gameplay is moderately addictive for those who've mastered Zuma before. There are a few extra modes like the story mode, but it doesn't measure well for gamers as it could've, with narratives that don't add too much action to the gameplay.
All in all, Luxor isn't a bad title, but it doesn't measure up to being a must buy for anyone that has already mastered the original Luxor for the PSP, or Zuma. But, if you haven't played any of those games yet, this would be a good rental at a affordable price, but it doesn't completely show that it is eye to eye.
