Sleeper-hit Egyptian-themed adventure game

Strengths: Very good adventure game.

Weakness: No voice dialogue Scarab collection

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a very well designed and fun adventure game in the spirit of the Zelda-Ocarina/Windwaker genre. The graphics in the game are excellent. The environments in the game are expansive and the characters are unique and refreshing. The gameplay involves combat, lots of puzzle solving and missions; so there is a lot of variety in the game. You play as two characters- the...

Sphinx

Strengths: Gameplay

Weakness: Major Bug

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy appears to be a run of the mill generic platformer. It's actually a pretty good knockoff of a Zelda game featuring platforming. Graphically the game is on par with others in similar genres. Nothing will blow your mind, but nothing is particularly distracting either, except for the occasional glitch. Sound is similarly described. Nothing grating or memorable. Gameplay...

Ancient platforming

Strengths: Solid platformer, great graphics

Weakness: Controls are a little loose

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy interested me for a while before I finally decided to pick it up. I shouldn't have waited so long. Sphinx is a solid cross-platform platformer; lots of running, jumping, throwing, and hitting. The full-motion videos are awfully nice looking, and even better, there isn't a whole lot of drop-off in graphical quality when you move into the game itself. Occasionally you...

Sphinx

Strengths: -great platformer -Zelda-ish type gameplay -great bang for the buck

Weakness: none

I've been looking forward to this game for a while, but never got around to buying it. I bought it for cheap a month ago and got around to playing it. Wow. Definitely a great title. For reference, it resembles Zelda Wind Waker in game style. The graphics aren't as tight and refined, but still nothing to shake your fist at. The level design and clever gameplay make up for the missing graphical...

SphinxCursed Mummy

Until about six months ago, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy was originally entitled Sphinx and the Shadow of Set, which boggles my mind. How could Eurocom not recognize that the Cursed Mummy is the most endearing videogame mascot of the year? Perhaps the designers at Eurocom never thought of the Mummy as more than an amusing distraction, until a captivated focus group made them realize their mistake.

SphinxCursed Mummy

From Eurocom Entertainment comes Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, an epic third-person action-adventure filled with magic and mystery and set to the backdrop of ancient Egypt. This long-in-development title is perhaps the 200-person-strong company's most ambitious undertaking to date and the hard work has for the most part paid off. Sphinx has a few mechanical and technical flaws that can...
