Is this the return of the Mummy...

User Rating: 6.8 | The Mummy Returns PS2
I've had this game in my collection for quite some time now and i keep finding myself looking at the cover and then passing it back into the pile thats labeled "someday" Thats right... someday i'll maybe get a bee in my bonnet and finally decide to sit down and finish it so i can pass it into the "finished" pile. While i found myself often going through my games list i look at this title and think about what really went wrong.

To be fair with my rating of this game i have to say that the graphics aren't really to bad, the characters are designed pretty well and your overall environment has some good detail, the only thing that spoilt the game in this category were the cut scenes, they were a constant bump and grind throughout the game which made in "corny" for lack of a better word.

The sound was actually one of the better points in the game, with good background music and good sound effects especially when playing as the mummy when you got the chance to suck the life force out of someone, the noise he made was pretty well matched to the movie.

On another borderline bad rating was the gameplay, i found it was sticky at times and didn't really allow you to face in the direction you wanted to face. I also found that when entering a building the camera would get stuck either behind a wall you were running next to or get stuck behind a pillar thus obstructing your view in sometimes a critical part of the game.

I would have to say the overall value of the game isn't bad, if you are an avid mummy fan and love both movies dearly then maybe this is for you but if you looking for a good adventure game with a few odd puzzles in-between you looking at the wrong game. I would only recommend this to someone who is looking to replay the movie as a game.
