Bang bang, shoot'em up
Wow! not the old Luxor, it's true. Sortof Tron meets Luxor. Does not play well on a laptop: needs faster mouse response. Recommend this game for anyone who loves pinball games. Great electronic sound.

WOW!! This Certainly is Different
This is certainly different from the normal Luxor Games - more like marble popper meets Star Wars.
There is no real storyline to speak - just a futuristic type background.
Graphics are very basic in that it is a space background and line drawing channels for the futuristic type marbles.
There are four modes - the usual three plus the bonus elite mode after hardcore is completed.
The usual powerups are present plus some new ones - paintball, bullets etc.
There are achievement awards eg. 25 hits in a row etc and a high score league table.
You only start off with one life and there are bonus rounds to complete.
Some of the levels are fast.
The big differences are;
- pulsing disco type very loud background music.
- strobing or fireworks effects when marbles are blasted
- minimalistic background.
I really enjoyed this game for an hour then my head started to hurt from the music and the strobing.
I think I would only play this game in small doses.
Warning: the strobing effect which is quite intensive may make some people ill.
If you like marble popper only games this certainly is different and worth a try.

Give it a chance.
After I read a few negative reviews, I still wanted to give it a chance. After all, it's Luxor. When I first played it, I wasn't very happy. True, the music it's a little too "techno" for my ears but it's more like a futuristic Luxor than having a "vintage" look or sound. It was kind of annoying at the beginning - I started with the hard levels - but, as it "evolved", I have to say: the upgrades are great (even if you're not able to choose'em), the levels are challenging (as expected). It's an evolved Luxor all right. However, if they would have kept the original graphics, it would have been a real hit. Takes a while to get accustomed with the new style but it's not a bad game. Give it a chance but be advised that the one hour trial...sorry to say, will not be enough.

I think It's Great!!
It's not the usual Luxor, but it's a lot of fun, Who cares if you don't get all the stuff that's falling, you just do your best and have fun. That's the way to take this game - just go with it and don't worry about everything.

I Still Love Luxor
This is a colorful space age version. The sounds and graphics are excellent. It has different playing modes. Its very challenging. I think its a real good game.

Excellent marble popper with new twist
It is one of the Luxor series, a great marble popper sequel, but with a unique twist.
Contrary to the previous games of Luxor, the stages of this game are in the space, and the graphic and sounds are completely different.
The game itself is a marble popper, a popular type of (relatively "classic") casual games.
The fans of the previous Luxor series and marle popper games should try it too, and those who are not familiar with the sequel, it would be good to try it because the game experience coming from the new atmosphere of graphic and sounds would be very new and fresh.

Great graphics and great fun...

Not your father's Luxor
Fast paced, techno music, neon graphics, challenging, and hyper. I called it quits 51 minutes into the demo after reaching stage 3-5, mostly just to breathe. Wasn't what I expected with the Luxor name, but can't say as I hate it. Very different take on a marble popper, just don't expect a familiar, relaxing experience.

Wife loved it!!
Yes, it is different from the norm of Luxor. My wife, who is a marble popper pro loved this game because it was different in look and feel. Have fun with it.
