Brendan Fraser’s running may look a bit…umm…queer, but tight spaces, quick puzzles, and lots of exploration make The Mummy well worth the already-in-the-discount-bin price.
The movie was charming and entertaining in it's own right, but this game has formula written all over it. It was designed by the book, with very few surprises to speak of. The puzzles are generic, as are most of the action elements.
I haven't seen a belated game translation this bad since "Blues Brother 2000" turned platformers into a pixilated version of bamboo shoots under the fingernails. Bad mummy. Bad mummy.
It never should have been released on the PC, in part because it exploits none of the features possible on computers, such as saving at will, better graphics and configurable controls.
The case when the game is bad, and that is all.
During NES era game licensed by movies and cartoons were great. Starting PS1 till now you must avoid such games.
Right before Rebellion Software developed 2010's Alien vs. Predator and their famous Sniper Elite series, they worked in this licensed game based on 1999's The Mummy film. In short word this game is pure trash!
A game released on PC and PlayStation by Konami. The game's story line takes place during the first 30 or 40 minutes from the film during the arrival to Hamunaptra and the awakening of the mummy. Now, it is a short game... like 2 hrs or 2:30, but still short with a mix difficulty but this difficulty came from the terrible controls that the PC port has, the game's design is very terrible with horrible graphics, even for a game released in the 2000's, boring gameplay which is only explore tombs and shot mummies in third person with some limited ammo.
In my opinion, i felt it like a kind of Tomb Raider game... but based on a film and instead of playing as Lara Croft you play as a terrible model that kind-of looks like Brendan Fraser.
A good point that this game has is that the atmosphere felt somehow dreadful with some spooky noises that the mummies make, they even are a bit scary to fight, they can handle way to many bullets to the point that you run of ammo, but they're not impossible to kill, using melee weapons can do the job done.
Overall is a pretty "FUGLY" game...
SummaryKonami hopes to mimic the state of the art visual effects of the film in their upcoming title, The Mummy. The game puts players in control of the film's heroes as they fight evil hordes in the ultimate quest to vanquish the guardian Mummy.
