This game was decent. I liked it at the beginning, but when I got to see other video games, I saw that it wasn't that good. The graphics weren't good. The sound was good but who's dumb enough to play a game because of sound. Music:Repetitive. Voices:Extremely Repetitive. Basically I only look at the game any more because of the story. If i could find a book of the story i would dump this game.
if you are even considering buying or renting this game, read this review!

First of all, this game sucks. this completley sucks. First of all the camera looks away from you when you are fighting. Plus using the analog stick is more complicated than figuring out how to explain your bad grades on your report card to your parents. Seriously, when u try to turn around it will just move foward. It would have been a better game if u could ude the D-pad. The controls are hard to memorize. Plus the camera dosen't help. The story and graphics are as horrible as the jokes in Full House. The rock looks like the skinny version of the blob.
If you get this a gift from your parents, it means they hate you. But parents, if you want to punish your kid, make them play this game. Not enertaining at all. You'll quit before you get to level 2. With all the stupid stuff in this game, it wins the award for the suckiest game ever created! Stay away from this game at all cost! This sh*t is unplayable! If u liked the movie, don't buy this and by the f*ckin' movie instead!

one thing thats sure this game is not one of the best it is not like the movie.you play as Mathayus is on a quest of Revenge to avenge his people so he sets out after a character names Magus this game is fun in ways and worth the money but you probably dont want to pay more than that for this game.but if you like The Scorpion King you should like this but this game is no my type.
Best Game since when I playd Red Faction!

This is the best game I have played since when I played Red Faction! The graphics, accuracy, the fighting, the plot, aw heck, the whole game! I mean, the Scorpion King has all kinds of moves that decimate all of the enemys. Geeze, when i first played this game, I had to get it as soon as posible!
THIS GAME WAS OK BUT NOT GREAT!!!

This game was a big dissopointment. It's satisfying at the beginning but then it gets really boring. The only thing that they try to make it more exciting with is by throwing out more people for you to fight. Then the game gets really, really stupid. I mean, it's not even fun to play anymore. Then when you finally get to the end you can't beat the bad guy at the end.
So if you really want to have some fun and excitement get something like "Lord of the Ring" or "Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy" or "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time"
This game sucks!
Could be better

The game isn't as good as it could have been. The things I don't like are that the game doesn't really change the enemies change but you still fight them all the same way. Even though there are 4 different kind of weapons which are spear, sword, two handed sword, and gauntlet they differ in only speed and strength the combos are a little different but not enough to make a big difference. Also there is no free roaming you stay in the game where it wants you to. Like I said the enemies change but for the most part the human enemies stat just the same other than they get more health and a new looking weapon they are still just the same. The game does however have some good points. The graphics are great. It takes place in Egypt before the scorpion king movie which is cool. The game had a good idea but it just gets kind of boring as you play or at least it did to me. The only thing in the game that is thrown in to keep you interested is Egyptian monsters like a Gorgon, Horous, and Anubis and some of his warriors. If you plan on buying this game rent it first to see what you think because even though I don't like it, some people might like how nothing changes. This is for those who either like not having to get used to new things or really really like the scorpion king. (If you are getting this because you like the Mummy then I recommended that you get the Mummy Returns instead even to those who don't have the reason the Mummy Returns has a better set up than this one) I hope this review was helpful for those who weren't sure about this game.
Cool
