A good Ancient Game

This is a game for people who are interested in Ancient Egypt. The graphics in this game are really good and the music is good too. You start out as the warrior sphinx and you work with this other warrior named Horus searching for the Blade of Osiris and other artifacts. Along the way you meet the mummy,a warrior named Anubis,and a girl named Nefertiti all working with you. The scenery is cool and the animation is really good, but the one thing I don't like is the characters have no speaking voice its all typed on the screen for you to read on your own. Other then that it's a great game. Also its kinda hard.

I love Sphinx!

This title really seems to be flying under the radar and I am hoping that it will get the attention is deserves because it really is a fantastic game! If you like Zelda then you will love this game!! If you are at all interested in Ancient Egyptian mythology then you will love this game too. Its got elements that really do remind me of Wind Waker but its also very original. I would say that this is a must have for any Gamecube owner.

awesome

This is one of the best games I have played in a while. The graphics are superb as is the storyline. Very challenging puzzles and top notch cut scenes make it a high quality and fun game to play. My only gripe with the game however, the reason I gave it only 4 of 5 stars, is that the save feature is really lacking. You have to find statues that serve as save points to save the game. I have no problem with this style of saving the game. The problem is ,however, that the statues are few and far between, so it gets really annoying when you're forced to go through a long period without being able to save and then you get killed and have to go all the way back to the previous save point again. In short, the save feature was poorly applied in this game. Other than that, it's an excellent game and well worth the money.

Great focus but misses a few points

ok first this game has a lot of potental it has a great story line a few mini questes BUT for thos of you who compar it to zelda i think that you either havent finished it or have just wanted to be positive the resen is that the game is far to short and just dosent have eneuf mini questes or side things to do like for instance the game has 3 mini quest that dos not have to be done to be done to progress thro the game and that is a game that you race some one and you beat this guys training thing and play a game were you run over walls but for thos of you who think that you dont have to do anything then you do ohh and i dont know who play tested it but they missed a few parts of the game were it is all scrachy AND

on the game they try to make it vast but it dosent work there is only one citiy to trade and buy stuff and there is only 4 usaable objects you barly have to trade forword and back word and money wise is nothin you get more money just tryin to beat the game then tryin to beat the mini games were you shot stuff with your blow darts and it gives you no choices at all you either beat the one quest givin or get rid of the game because you have to do it a cirtin way and monster wise dont even bother to sell becuase you have all the scarabs you can handel for most of the game unless your rally bad a games but it dos have a very hocking stoy line but has a lot to do befor it is perfect but other then that i loved it

Sphinx And The Cursed Mummy....... ROCKS

Sphinx is the best Egyptian hero type of guy, and the Mummy continues to be cool. Sphinx And The Cursed Mummy has such smooth gameplay and incredible graphics. I advise this as a game for any Action-Adventure fanatic.

Must have

This game is a must have. Awesome graphics, great sound/score, great story line, challenging puzzles, and extremely fun to play. I was hooked from the start. A bit difficult at times, but that's what made it fun. Similar to Zelda in a way, but I enjoyed this game more. Cant wait to see if they make some kind of sequal. Anyone who is into adventure/RPG's, if you want to call it that, should have this one.

New Chapter In A Legacy

This video game legacy is about a head strong demi-god who tries to get crowns of Egypt and stop a power-hungry god named Set
from taking over Egypt. This game is fine if your child owns at least 1 rated E game with cartoon or fantasy violence and is at the least 10 or over to buy or rent this Rated T video game for
GC, PS2, or XBox.

Excellent game

I am a major Zelda fan, so I figured I would have to wait until a new Zelda came out before I could enjoy another game. We got Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy at Christmas, and it was very very good. It plays very similar to the Zelda games. It has great puzzles, the monsters are easy to fight (though some might find this a drawback), the graphics are great, and the story was fun. Also going back and forth between the two characters (Sphinx and the mummy - Tut) was very interesting. If you love Zelda, you will certainly enjoy Sphinx while you are waiting for a new game to come out. My only trouble now is I have to wait for a new Zelda and a new Sphinx.
