WOW! This game is a real treat! I just bought it as a "filler" to keep me entertained until the next "really cool" game was gonna come out and the next thing: HERE I SIT MEMERIZED AND CAN'T STOP PLAYING because Sphinx is just so gorgeous...
<br />
<br />Here's what makes it such a great game
<br />- Egyptian mythology: temples, pyramids, palaces, ancient cities and a whole pantheon of God's, demi-God's, mummies and mystical creatures (over 200 in this game!)
<br />- Great storyline: revolving around two characters brought together by fate on a noble quest: 1. The Mummy - is an artist formerly known as "Prince". That's right: an Egyptian Prince gets betrayed by his own brother on his own birthday in his own palace and gets turned into his own Mummy by an evil sorcerer (not his own) who happens to work for his big bad brother. The prince is a funny fellow with subtle metro-sexual (read: gay) traits. Not only is it politically incorrect that his brute brother (probably a member of the Egyptian club of rednecks) cannot accept him but this is also a slap in YOUR face, the player, who controls the Prince/ Mummy in search of revenge. 2. The Sphinx - think Daxter's colors, Jak's body and Ratchet's tail! A Demigod who works for his master (I forgot the name of, but it sure sounded Egyptian...) and is sent on a quest for ancient magical artifacts needed to stabilize even more ancient portals between (super-ancient) alternate worlds connected to pre-historic (to avoid the term "ancient") Egypt.
<br />You will get to play as both Sphinx and the Prince/Mummy in a plot that unfolds beautifully around you as you go. Both characters have totally different moves, abilities and ways of attacking enemies or finding solutions to problems. While Sphinx is the fighter and learns how to wield a sword, blow-pipe and how to improve his jumping and fighting techniques, the Mummy does not need any weapons. The Mummy IS the weapon. It's quite amazing what you can do once you're dead! The Mumm | 5 | 772 days ago | Sphinx and the cursed mummy ROCKS and RULES!!!

INTRO.
<br />
<br />Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is an original, inventive game set in Ancient Egypt. You have to play as two characters to advance the story: the powerful and daring demigod, Sphinx, and the reluctant but un-killable Mummy. This game is the absolute top of the line, with the best plot, graphics, and gameplay I have ever seen. There are a few drawbacks to this game, but there aren't many and they're really minor.
<br />
<br />GAMEPLAY
<br />
<br />The game as said before, follows Sphinx and the Mummy, both in their own different and detailed environments. The areas for both characters are beautifully well done and just show how far the creators of this game stretched the limits of animation. The controls are easy to learn, the music is great, and the plot is deep and draws you into the game. The Sphinx levels revolve around strategy AND fighting, not just one or the other. (Thankfully, this is not a game where you just kill other enimies.) The Mummy levels are almost all strategy. Why? Here's the bad news: The Mummy has no weapon and can't fight. Here's the good news: He doesn't have to! There are no monsters, and here's another bit of good news: The Mummy can't die. He's dead already. So that means that you can do nearly anything to the Mummy... >:)
<br />And that includes flattening him into 2-D, cutting him into three mummies setting him on fire, getting him electrocuted, turning him into smoke, and changing him into a bat mummy. Sound fun? It is!
<br />
<br />PROS AND CONS
<br />
<br />Pros:
<br />1. Great graphics
<br />2. Wonderful music
<br />3. A plot that draws you in the farther you go
<br />4. Easy to learn controls
<br />5. Fun levels
<br />
<br />Cons:
<br />1. Some levels do seem almost impossibly hard.
<br />2. There is a glitch in the game: beware of this.
<br />When you're getting the Abydosian Crown, and you return it to Anubis, some people have a problem where he says that you better hurry and get the Crown, even when you have it.
< | 5 | 772 days ago | THE COOLEST GAME IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is soooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!. It is a lot like the n64 game zelda. It is also very challenging. You have to use your head a lot! This game involves a lot of thinking and comprhending, but anyone will love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is only one thing that I do not like about it. You can't just save whenever You want to. You have to make it to certain "save spots" that are located throughout the game. They are in the form of statues. All in all, this game rules and I highly recommend it to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 5 | 772 days ago |
