The smash-hit action puzzler, Luxor 2 will be available for download worldwide on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 beginning Wednesday, April 4th, at 9AM GMT (2AM PST). The price is 800 Microsoft Points (that’s $10 / €9.60 / £6.80).
In the second installment of the Number 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.

If you ask me, this seems to be exactly the same casual game as the already released Zuma Deluxe.
