Strengths: Many levels. Easier gameplay on Wii & TV than on a PC.

Weaknesses: Color shading as you progress.

Summary: I was hesitant to purchase Luxor for our Wii with all the bad reviews out there on the web. But comparing it to the PC version I knew what to expect and not false hope for a new complex version full of mini-games, etc. Just the basic game play as with the PC.....sure at times seems repetitious, but that is the game. There are bonus levels etc. But my only gripe is that as you get far into the game and more shades of colors add to the mix, if you have an older TV projection such as ours it makes it difficult to distinguish between them. I imagine newer flat screen tv's do not display that issue. Overall it was a good pick....sure it does not compare in complexity and depth as Super Mario Galaxy, but if you like it on PC you will like it on Wii. Don't pay full price go to eBay or Half and you can buy new for less than half of the retail.
