Game Overview

Sphinx is an original third-person action-adventure inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt. Traveling the world via magical portals to foil the evil plans of Set, Sphinx?s journey will require all his wits, agility and special powers. He will also rely on his reluctant hero friend, The Mummy, to help him when being inconspicuous is the only solution. By finding the stolen magical crowns of Egypt, Sphinx can stop Set and save the world.

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.
