2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 11, 2001

I guess I shouldn't really complain because I bought this game used for [dollar smmount]. But even so, I was disappointed. The Mummy game has some interesting puzzles, but you have to put up with a lot of smarmy commentary from Malcom McDowell's character all the while. It really got old. Then I felt like the ending was so cheesy and abrupt that it wasn't worth the trouble of figuring anything out to get there. It was a true let-down. The Frankenstein game is equally frustrating. Lots of wandering around, having no clue what you're doing. Then once you figure out the puzzle, you want to kick yourself for wasting so much time on it. Because it really leads nowhere. Overall, both these games are decent pastimes, as long as you're not expecting high adventure or fast-paced entertainment. Which, sadly, I was.

I understand WHY these two games are packaged and sold together. They both revolve around classic movie monsters and both feature big name stars (Malcolm McDowell in 'The Mummy' and Tim Curry in 'Frankenstein.') However, that's where all similarity ends. What this package gives you is one quite good game bundled with one lousy game to give you an average result at a low price.

The Mummy' is actually a delight, if a bit short. McDowell chews the scenery with abandon, alternately smarmy and pretentious. The graphics, while nothing to write home about, were quite adequate, given the low price of the game. The puzzles were straightforward, of moderate difficulty, logical, and reasonably well-integrated into the plot. And there actually IS a plot, if a fairly thin one. Overall, the game plays out like a 'Riddle of the Sphinx Lite.' Fun and decent, and well worth the price tag on its own.

'Frankenstein,' on the other hand, was so abysmally poor as to make me give up on it without even finishing the game. It starts out with some promise, as you quickly realize that YOU are the Frankenstein Monster. You wake up on the famous table, newly created, to find Dr. Frankenstein (Curry) furiously scribbling away in his journal. However, instead of being excited to find that his experiment has worked, the Doctor curtly tells you to go to your room and not to touch anything...more fussy and distracted parent than mad genius. It is in the getting to your room (and trying to get back out of it) that you discover the true nature of this game. It is nothing but one giant maze. You spend the majority of the game wandering back and forth through secret passages in the walls, each step of which looks exactly like every other step. It is hopelessly confusing, impossible to map, and loses all entertainment value after about 5 minutes. IF you are lucky enough to get back out of the walls and into the main part of the house, you discover various items laying around which you pick up. Why are you picking them up? It turns out that you are going to try to reproduce the Doctor's experiment on your own. Why? Who knows? In fact, you have no clue that this is why you are collecting the items unless you consult a walkthrough, as there is nothing in the game itself to tell you this. As doing this experiment is the game's main objective, it is a real shortfall that you have no real idea that that is what you are trying to accomplish. I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying this game. Finishing it is more a measure of your own stubbornness than any redeeming quality in the game itself.

Overall I gave this package a rating of 3 stars (though 2 1/2 stars would be more accurate). 'The Mummy' is easily worth 3 1/2 or 4 stars, but 'Frankenstein' barely deserves a single star.

I think some of the reviews were too harsh, so I decided I would write one. The game came out in 1997, I remember it being $14.99 when it came out and for 1997, it was pretty good. I play everything from Transport Tycoon (MSDOS) to The Sims, I am playing Frankenstien and I have played the Mummy 3/4 through. I find them both average games, not alot of brains needed. Tim Curry is great as the Dr., that alone is worth the couple of bucks! So for those of you who have been playing these kinds of games since MSDOS or WIN 95, you should enjoy it. As for kids(below 13), Frankenstien does have some things that aren't for them.
