    While it looks and sounds good and is a solid-playing game, it is not without a few annoying quirks that pop up at moments when you least need or want them. The addition of being able to play as a villain is a welcome change.

    There's honestly no reason to buy this game. If you're a fan of the movie just go buy the DVD, because this game really isn't worth playing.

    Although it does have some neat elements, such as being able to play as the bad guy and several spell elements, it doesn't make up for the lack of texture quality, as well as the shaky framerate and bad camera.

    It's always interesting to have the option of being the bad guy, but truly bland gameplay and a relatively short quest sap the fun and make this a rental at best.

    This game really is a waste of money. It's almost impossible to run out of life as Imhotep and it's far too easy and short. I would have struggled to get through £40 that quickly in the pub!!!… Expand

    graphically this game is slightly better than one from psx but you can't say it's for ps2! the gameplay is awful,controls are pretty bad and when you kill the enemies,they respawn if you leave the instance.and another problem is that the instances are all very similar and confusing,so you will ever face enemies without knowing if you have been on the instance or not...and soon you will get lost and annoyed. who created this game was lazy and/or stupid. i bought it because it was 11… Expand
