YES! What we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! Luxor 2! Oh wait, no, I haven’t been waiting for this. Sorry about that. So, yeah, Microsoft just sent word about … hmmm … a few minutes ago that the greatest game ever, Luxor 2, would be coming to Xbox Live Arcarde this Wednesday. Does it give you the tingles?
Why just walk like an Egyptian when you have a mystical winged scarab at your disposal? The smash-hit action puzzler, LUXOR 2 will be available for download on Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 beginning Wednesday, Apr. 4, at 9:00 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PST).
In the second installment of the No. 1 casual game of 2005, “LUXOR 2” from MumboJumbo, players travel through 88 exquisitely detailed and explosive levels shooting and destroying the magical balls that threaten the pyramids at the end of their paths. Players can earn up to 15 exciting power-ups, play through four distinct levels of difficulty, challenge themselves to a total of 13 bonus rounds and work their way up through the new 100-level player ranking system. Also, unique to the Xbox LIVE Arcade version is a new arcade-style mode of play called the Pharaoh’s Challenge.
“LUXOR 2” is the recent recipient of the Zeeby’s Craft Awards for Best Audio 2006 and Best Visual Arts 2006. It will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone.
Because I know you’re totally into Luxor and want to know more, I’ve put the full press release after the jump. Aren’t I awesome?
