I downloaded this game as a trial-with-ads from another site, and was considering buying it from Amazon (which has a much better price) until I got stuck on level 6.
First of all, this is really a very good HOG - it's a very long game with many locations to explore. The objects are (mostly) difficult but not impossible to find, and each room has a few items that have crossword-like clues (rather than names) that require a bit of thought. The game is timed, but there is no penalty if you run out of time. Moreover, as you collect ankhs along the way, you unlock additional games - Luxor Classic, Luxor Match-3 and Endless Search and Find, so you're really getting four games for the price of one.
A few objects are a bit *too* well-hidden (I couldn't see them even when I resorted to the hints), and some are hard to click - I'd resort to the hints, only to see that I'd found the object but hadn't clicked on the right part of it. It doesn't help that the cursor is a big, clunky bejewelled thing and you can't opt out of it. Most of the mid-level mini-puzzles are ridiculously easy, and I wasn't crazy about the storyline - it's a bit too mystic-weird for my tastes.
It's the marble-shooter that ruined the game for me. Every level ends with Luxor Classic, and you have to win before you can go to the next level - there is no way to skip past it. I have no hand-eye coordination and simply could not beat this thing. In the first levels, you can use the 'hint' to blast away the marbles and cheat your way out of it, but that no longer works at level six, and after a good hour trying to get past the shooter, I had to give up on the game.Get more detail about Luxor Adventures [Game Download].
