Investigate the disappearance of a cursed Egyptian statue and encounter some interesting foes along the way...

User Rating: 7 | Curse: The Eye of Isis PC
This game takes place in England in the late 1800's so the character costumes and weaponry is somewhat right for the times. You play Darien or his assistant Victoria later in the game, who is investigating the disappearance of a mysterious cursed-Egyptian statue from a museum in London. Your goal in the game is to find and return the statue to its resting place, a pyramid in Egypt. Not to mention another small goal is to not be killed or taken over by the curse yourself. Game controls are frustrating at times (I would think the Xbox version would be better for this reason). Game menus are sometimes cumbersome when trying to exchange items between characters. The weaponry leaves much to be desired; however, if the creator's goal was to keep the weapons authentic to the period, they've done so, much to the chagrin of the player. Reloading your weapons takes too long so you must be as accurate with your shots as possible. Any missed targets will cost you greatly. Ammunition is scarce as well. Overall the plot is interesting and the characters and enemies you encounter are entertaining.
