I previously owned a copy before making my purchase. But the only reason in doing so is cause my copy wouldn't play at all due to scratches beyond repair. This game made an impact on my gaming life and even though I play much harder and strategic games; I'm glad to know that I have Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy in my collection. Thank you!!

I was looking for a fun game to play with my husband, who loves video games. I wanted a game that was not too graphic with violence. Even though this is a one-player game we still have a lot of fun playing this together. We take turns being the characters, which are the Mummy and the Sphinx. This game really makes you think to solve the puzzles, which I love and still gives you the battles that my husband likes. If you are new to gaming like me this is a good one to learn the controls as it give on screen helps on which buttons to use. This would also be a great game to play with your kids.
I bought this game for my son years ago in the mall. I liked the graphics on the box, and the description made it sound like it would be great fun to play. I got hooked! This game is fantastic! It has cool graphics (love Egyptian themes), it has comedy, and it has amazing situations. I couldn't wait to solve one place and go to another. You have to really get your puzzler working in some areas, but once you figure out what or how you need to do it, then it is just a matter of time to get it done. My son has beaten the game twice and even finished playing mine. I haven't played it in a long while, but I need to get back to it. You will love it!!!!!!!1
This game is wonderful. The story, the graphics, the game play. Everything flows smoothly from one thing to the next. I started up the game and expected mediocrity because of it's creation date but, I was pleasantly surprised. The first thing you notice is the detail in the characters. The way they move, transitioning from one animation to the next flawlessly. There colors, there expressions. Everything was thought out magnificently. I expected voice acting but only got Subtle emotional effects like laughter, crying, etc. This actually enhanced the characters even more than voice acting, I thought. The backgrounds were equally pleasant. Huge environments with tons of detail. The water, realistic and the buildings blended in splendidly with the games theme. The story starts out weak but gets a lot better as you progress, especially when you discover the other character you will be playing as, a mummy who catches fire, get's cut into three, and emits electricity. All of this is part of the game play and hilarious. Ok, I am not a review writer but to end it, GREAT GAME AND well worth the BUY!Read full review
It's too bad that of all the games they make sequels to, they never did a follow-up to this one. We had this game when it was new in 2003 and both my son and I really enjoyed it from beginning to end. My son traded the game in to get something else and since we had both finished it, is was no big deal. My daughter recently inherited the PS2 and kept bringing up how much fun we had had playing this game. I was thrilled to be able to find a new copy still available for her play. She is having as much fun as we did the first time we played it and I have found myself leaving my xBOX 360 off and sitting in her room playing the game again. The puzzles are challenging, but not so difficult to make you give up on the whole thing. I really like this game and highly recommend it for someone looking for a well thought out storyline and fun game experience.Read full review
I own a PS3, and this PS2 game smokes most of the newer games for quality. Just enough story to hang a game upon without being ridiculous (no Final Fantasy 20 minute cutscenes that bring the game to a screeching halt) and the design elements are inspired. Playing as two separate characters - each with their own unique talents and weaknesses - really puts this game over the top. Sphinx rocks, especially with the jump and speed increases. The mummy...well, the fact that he cannot die leads to several unique gameplay situations. On fire? Charged with electricity? Flattened? Chopped in three? NO PROBLEM. Situation normal! All around fun game.
This is a great game at all levels. You require to use both skill and thought as you advance through the levels. My son is 11 years old. He was taken in immediately by the quests. Many puzzles and different characters enhance the pleasure as one discovers artifacts and acquires new powers. There are many prizes along the way with transformations and transportation using any means possible including teleportation.
It's a great little title and I do wish there had been a sequel to it. This was a Christmas gift to my sister because she used to have a copy but lost hers years ago. Delivery was quicker than estimated, and I'm very satisfied with the condition of the game as stated on the page.
