Sphinx and the cursed mummy ps3 game

Initially I hated Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. I found its blend of action, platformer and adventure painfully hard to master and far too often had to replay massive chunks of the game when I died. Then I realized that it wasn't the game that sucked, it was me. It's been so long since a really challenging game has come out that I forgot what it was like to play one.

This isn't some save-when-ever-you want, countless-life, namby-pamby video game. No, to beat Sphinx you have to be smart, cautious and willing to spend some time mastering the mechanics of this well-crafted keeper. You'll spend your time in the game split between controlling the two titles characters: Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.

The game initially shoots back and forth between two apparently separate plots, one for each character, but as the game progresses the plots and characters meet. The play is typically smooth with a simplistic controller layout that lets you attack with one button, jump with another and do practically everything else with a third. Although Sphinx does have very strong action and platform elements, at its heart it is a classic adventure game.

What that means is that you're going to spend a lot of time using your brain instead of your fingers. Graphics in the game go far to enhance the experience, with a cartoonish look that works well with the fun gameplay of Sphinx.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said about the sound. For some reason the developers decided to skip voices all together, instead plugging in annoying noises that are supposed to project some sort of emotion. The only other annoying aspect of the game is the fact that when you are forced to replay a section, and there will be a lot of times that that happens, there is no way to avoid watching all of those lengthy cut-scenes again.

They really should have given you a way to skip them, because listening to the monosyllabic grunts of the central character time after time can get to be a wee-bit annoying. Overall I highly recommend Sphinx and Cursed Mummy.

It's well-crafted, challenging in all of the right ways and just a heck of a lot of fun to play with a cool blend of Egyptian mythology and Manga-like fantasy.

Sphinx and The Cursed Mummy is an original 3rd person action-adventure inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt. Travelling 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 when being inconspicuous is the only solution. By finding the stolen magical crowns of Egypt, Sphinx can stop Set and save the world. Features: Use Sphinx and his increasing array of skills to face deadly mythical monsters while avoiding perilous traps with acrobatic ease.

Weaken enemies and use capture beetles to store and unleash their abilities at will. Interact with hundreds of unique and imaginative creatures, enemies and allies. Fantastic graphics bring this mythical world based on Egyptian legends to life. Sphinx reaches the blade via a different route and takes it, and is ordered by Imhotep to go back to the temple.

In order to return, Sphinx needs to find the Temple Amulet , but on his way to retrieve it, he is struck by the Eye of Ra, and trapped in the room below. He is forced to use the Mysterious Amulet that he had found earlier, for which he doesn't know the destination.

In the Mysterious Location , Sphinx is barred from one direction by a laser. He instead makes his way towards a chamber where the Shield of Osiris is located. At this point, his presence is detected and Menes reanimates the skeletons in the area into Skeletal Axemen , and Sphinx must fight through them to the shield. With the shield in hand, he returns and proceeds through the second door, blocking the laser.

Like the monument with the same name, Sphinx has lion-like traits: a tail, lion-like nose, pointed ears, and four toed lion-like feet. He has midtone skin, and dark face paint around brown eyes. He is relatively short compared to many other characters, but he is very strong, able to climb, swim, and fight with ease.

His arm wraps are made of the same material as his pants, and he has gold bands on his forearms, a leather belt, and knee guards. He wears what seems to be a Wesekh collar with a protective bent to its construction. Little is set in stone about Sphinx's personality as he is a player character. Still, judging by his eagerness to retrieve the Blade of Osiris despite the risks, he possesses a great deal of courage.
