![]() So as you play, you keep collecting worthless coins with no way to spend them. The tracks are easy to beat, especially after upgrading the powerups in the "Store." Worse still, after all the upgrades have been purchased, the coin collection remains when the player completes a level (Easy, Normal, Hard, Insane), and so do the upgrades. To put it in persepective, the so-called "insane" level of Luxor: Quest for the Afterlife (LQA) is about as stressful as the early to mid-stages of the Normal level in Luxor 2. Instead, the final run is boring and simple. I expected that the end adventure would be similar to the previous iterations of Luxor: difficult to the point of ripping my hair out as I tried to beat it. The price is appropriate, because this game really doesn't live up to its predecessors. So if you are a fan of Luxor, I would get this one. Good game though as I have the previous Luxor game. I was hoping to see more than 1 mode other than the main game and a free play round. I gave it 3 stars because I thought it was a little pricey given the limited content. I am still on the first game (as I have not died yet). There are setting in the game to use the display as "WINDOWED" and I adjusted the resolution to 1600x1000. It is true that the beginning of the game does take up the full screen using the main screen, but you can adjust that after you complete the intro scene and provide your name (as did the previous Luxor). I have a Mac Pro with 3 monitors attached 20" Apple Cinema, 24" Apple LED Cinema, and the 30" Apple Cinema HD displays. I have played the game for almost 12 hours and I am not seeing of his problems. I can say that I don't have the problemt hat Joe Hair has experienced.

To put it shortly, lots of bugs, and I'm not talking about the scarabs.“Quest for the Afterlife can’t help but still tower over the competition.” – 4/5 Stars from ![]() The latest powerup touted in 5th Passage doesn't work, for instance, and this has been reported by players at multiple game sites. Why does this game miss the mark? The programming appears to have been rushed and there are several flaws inherent to the game itself which are not caused by Big Fish or any other portals which feature this game. The graphics are on the same level as Luxor 2, and there is an assortment of trophies to earn to keep players coming back. There is also Player's Choice mode, which features boards from Luxor 2 and Luxor 3 which you may just love to hate, as many of the boards chosen are the ones that proved to be a serious challenge in those games. If you don't have much time, you can get a quick fix by playing in Blast Mode, which is a 2 minute survival test. Some of the good features like being able to pick your difficulty level are back (and players can change the difficulty per board if they choose), as well as the blade shooter bonus round from Luxor 2 and the super cute Luxor 2 scarabs. Luxor 5th Passage features nice graphics and relatively smooth gameplay (more on that later) but still manages to fall flat when compared to some of the others in the series. ![]() Pros: Variety of game difficulty, minigames, revisitation of parts of previous Luxor games
