If you like the Zeldatype games then you will love this game. There is so much to see and lots of puzzles to solve. There is plenty of fighting monsters that range from very easy to OH MY GOD that's tough! There are plenty of mazes to get lost in, lots of jumping and running. The graphics are, to say the least, awesome! The only drawbacks to the game are the lack of save points and the awful camera views. Sometimes it seems as if the camera is working against you and leaves you quite frustrated. There are many places where you must position the camera manually. That said I still recommend this game. It is very fun and absorbing. At first I didn't like the fact that the action switches from Sphinx to the Mummy and back again, but you get used to that and it is necessary to advance the game. If the camera views and save points were better I would give this game 5 stars. It is worth the money, especially at only $20!

This is a good idea for a game with almost perfect execution and some amazing graphics with one glaring problem: In an effort to challenge long-time gamers who blow through their games in a week, this title let's you save too infrequently as incentive to perform well along the way. What could be more frustrating, especially in the initial hours of gameplay when you're trying to figure it all out? Ugh. Having to replay the last 30 minutes because I couldn't save it before I go to work or whatever is a mindboggling oversight.

Very nice, sharp game with one thing that will kill it for people who just want to have some fun.

My daughter and I played the game as a team...I got to be the mummy. It was fun, not too difficult and the graphics and cutaways were pretty cool. A great way to spend a few saturday afternoons.
