Game Overview

Enter a mythical Egypt as its greatest hero, for a new level of fantasy adventure!

The Bottom Line

Eurocom Entertainment, developers of the popular Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and James Bond: 007 Nightfire take gamers on a mythological adventure through Egypt in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy for Xbox, GameCube and PlayStation 2. Switch between two different characters, Sphinx and the Mummy, for a mix of exciting action, as well as stealth and puzzle solving elements. The worlds the character explores are huge and rich with detail and color; they overflow with fluid character model animation, advanced lighting and particle effects, massive geometry and crisp texture work.

The controls for both of these characters are very tight and always responsive.
