#LUXOR 2 XBOX 360 ACHIEVEMENTS PC#

The two games are based on the same concept, which sees you firing balls at a snaking chain of their compatriots, trying to thrust them into groups of three or more of the same colour to slow down the snaking.Īnd if you fancy that and can't be bothered to wait, you could always swing over to Microsoft's Zone website, where you can buy a PC version of LUXOR 2 for US$ 19.95 and download a playable demo. You might want to avail yourself of that demo too, particularly if you've already bought and played PopCap's Zuma Deluxe. If you're tired of the main game and looking for something a bit more hectic, try out the multiplayer minigame for some fast-paced action.LUXOR 2 will be this week's addition to Xbox Live Arcade, so ready up your 800 Microsoft points if you fancy puzzling your way through the game's 88 levels and 13 bonus rounds when it goes live at 9am GMT tomorrow.ĭeveloped by MumboJumbo, LUXOR 2 offers all the usual perks: four difficulty levels, 15 power-ups, 12 unlockable achievements for 200 gamerpoints, and a downloadable demo. A good brain-teasing title that features a good amount of levels. You do so by placing odd creatures and items around the map in an effort to guide Eets. They're all well-designed, but replay value and pinball tables don't really go hand-in-hand.Įets plays like a simplified version of Lemmings, except the player must guide one slightly-creepy creature to an exit rather than dozens. Nothing fancy, but certainly an entertaining title.Ī basic pinball title with three available tables.

You simply fire colored balls at a moving stream of similarly-colored balls to eliminate them.

Playing like a hybrid of Arkanoid/Breakout and Zuma, it should appeal to old-school gamers as well as those looking for a quick pick-up-and-play experience on XBLA. There's also a severe lack of variety in the environments, making this version far more castrated than it should be. Some of the most loved and useful weapons have been omitted, including the baseball bat, Concrete Donkey, and Holy Hand Grenade. The visual and audio presentation is great (and similar to the classic Worms titles, not the significantly inferior Worms 3D), but it suffers from a severe lack of features. This is fairly similar to TMNT in the fact that it's a short-lived single player experience, but a blast with friends or over Live. Play with one to three friends and it's an absolute retro blast. Play it by yourself and you'll get bored fairly quickly. Now it's been ported to the Xbox Live Arcade, playing exactly as you remember it. The best game on the Live Arcade, bar none.Īnyone in their early 20s has to have fond memories of playing this classic arcade title at bowling alleys and skating rinks. The fantastic art design is as sharp as ever, and the enhanced graphics mode is actually a welcome addition. It was fun enough going for 200.6% completion back in 1996, and getting achievement points just adds that much more incentive. One of the greatest games of all time is now available on the 360, and it's a blast playing through with the new achievements. Here's another roundup of thoughts on the most recent ones: Short and sweet: I managed to push through the remaining Luxor 2 levels to finish off the Normal difficulty, earning myself two Achievements in the process and, more importantly, successfully fulfilling one of my Resolutions for 2012. The last couple of months have been pretty strong for the Xbox Live Arcade, both in terms of original and retro titles.
