Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy

A decent Zelda knock-off that should have gotten more followers.

User Rating: 7.4 | Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy GC

By Homedawggydog | Review Date: March 16, 2007

Story: 6 The story is non-existent and it sucks anyway

Graphics: 9 This game is one of the best looking games around to this day, and the only gripe I have is that textures are bland and repetitive.

Sound: 8 The score is beautiful and haunting as Sphinx, and goofy and anxious as Mummy.

Controls: 7 The controls are a mixed bag; jumping and other platforming things work and Sphinx is the fastest character I know but combat is a tad messy and camera is a little dysfunctional.

Entertainment: 7 The combat is pretty bad and boss fights are frustrating and boring (bad combination), the Mummy puzzles are intuitive and fun and beating the snot out of the Mummy never gets old.

Overall: 7.4 The game is boring and dull as Sphinx but the puzzles and exploration as the Mummy is fun.
