A great action adventure that definately is a long enough game to like.
User Rating: 9 | Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy PS2
Sphinx and the cursed mummy is a great action adventure no doubt but what makes tis one so unique.For starters lets start with the story.You play as a warrior named Sphinx whos first mission in the game is to get an amulet or a vase at this castle.Soon enough your prevented from getting it.Thats where the mummy comes in well a human at first but later on turn into a mummy.Your then taking to this castle to rot and die.But thats not the case when this talking basket comes along and tells you that you must recover the lost vases give them to him or her or whatever it is.The story may not appeal to anyone though because of there being no voice work for the characters and unless you dont care that this is one of those games where all you see is subtitles and hear no voices than that shouldnt be a problem but if you do care you may want to skip on the story.Though there are no voices the music is great and the monsters sound great as well.The graphics look gorgeous and its hard not to like these great surroundings your in.The gamplay itself feels like an egyptian zelda.You play as two characters a mummy and a man/lion guy.Playing as sphinx feels pretty cool and you get some cool weopons and other stuff like capture beetles that allow you to capture monsters.The bosses are great but there arent many.Also during the sphinx segments some puzzles can seem pretty tedious and the combat needs more variety.The mummy parts are actully pretty fun even though you only do puzzles and since your already dead you can burn the mummy and he wont die you can electrify him,squish him,and you can even cut him into three pieces so that there are three mummys.There isnt really anything much wrong with the mummy segments except for the stealth missions which there are very little though they are really unecessary and should of been taken out.Overall this game is great and since it cost under 20$ you should check it out.
