On the plus side, this game gives you the chance to play as either Rick O'Connell
(Brendan Fraser's character) or Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo, from
Hard Target).
As the former it's a run, kick, jump and "kill everything" game, with the initial
mission being to find your son Alex amongst the caves, but the end goal is
to stop Imhotep from resurrecting the Scorpion King. As the latter you have
to bring back the aforementioned man of royalty, run, kick and jump to kill Rick
and his family and suck souls to give you some energy, although you start the
first level trying to find some canopic jars.
For the graphics imagine Tomb Raider but from a slightly higher up
perspective that alters depending on the rooms you enter and watch out for
rushing into a new room when the camera hasn't followed you yet as you'll miss
some of the action. Everything seems rather on the jerky side as you're moving
about which doesn't help matters.
Sound-wise the game attempts to sound spooky amongst the generic "oof" sounds
as you kick and be kicked but it doesn't really work. Oh, for the problem-solving
days of Raiders of the Lost Ark on the Atari VCS which actually had some
originality when it came to following the film plot.
Running around the pitch-black caverns, I can't contain my boredom as I yawn
over the excessive unoriginality. If you want to go running and shooting people
buy
Grand Theft Auto 3
instead.
