Amazon.com Product Description

This value pack includes both The Mummy Returns PlayStation2 game and a DVD of the Universal Studios motion picture. Set in 1935, 10 years after the events of The Mummy, the game immerses you in the action and intensity of the film. A band of treasure hunters has unearthed the remains of the high priest Imhotep. Transported to London, Imhotep is resurrected and once more embarks on his ruthless quest for immortality. You can choose to be the hero, Rick O'Connell, or the bad guy, Imhotep.

If you choose to play as Rick, your enemies include Imhotep, his living and undead allies, pygmy mummies, and the Scorpion King. Your goal is to rescue Alex, stop Imhotep, defeat the Scorpion King, and save the world. If, however, you choose to play as Imhotep, your enemies will be Rick, Ardeth Bey and his Medjai, pygmy mummies, and the Scorpion King, and your goal will be to use your magic and all means available to raise up the Scorpion King so you can take his army and rule the world.

You will explore a variety of levels, including the jungle, Karnak, London, and Cairo, and you'll battle against mummies and a host of other living, undead, and resuscitated enemies. The controls are easy to learn, yet offer enough depth and complexity for extensive gameplay. The game offers a wide variety of weapons and opponents, each with individual strengths and weaknesses. Spells and magic are an integral part of gameplay, as is the multiple-action camera for dynamic views of the characters and locations. Rich sound effects, music, and graphics mean an intense gameplay experience, and a chance to relive the excitement of the movie.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Movie, Bad Game, November 19, 2001

This review is from: Mummy Returns: DVD Pack (Video Game)

I picked up this packed, having enjoyed the two Mummy movies, and thinking it would be cool to play a game where you can either be O'Connell or Imhotep. Unfortunately, the game was just poorly designed. Graphics collision errors abound, resulting in your character being able to partially go through certain objects, or stand in empty space without falling. These things detract from the game and make it frustrating to play. I really did try to look past the downsides, as I am generally easy-to-please video game-wise, but this one just wasn't as much fun as it should have been. The basic concepts were ok...you are exploring an underground temple, your son gets trapped and you must free him, amongst other quests, but the design was likely rushed to coincide with the DVD release, resulting in bugs and design flaws galore. I'd recommend buying the DVD by itself, or at least renting the game before you plunk down all that money for it.

This review is from: Mummy Returns: DVD Pack (Video Game)

I recently purchased The Mummy Returns for PS2. I recently played on PS2 for the first time and the Mummy Returns was the first game I used. I enjoyed it immensely and am still trying to get past the first level. Critics of the game are probably people who spend most of thier free time playing video games and consider themselves "experts." If you are a beginner, this game is fine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good movie bad game..., October 23, 2001

This review is from: Mummy Returns: DVD Pack (Video Game)

The movie included with this pack is an excellent action flick that will show of your home theatre system nicely. It isn't a movie that should be criticized on plot, etc. because in the end it wasnt going for an oscar award and simply trying to be a good action movie which it is. the special effects are very well done and the sound is also above average. Where this movie really shines is the picture quality. The widescreen edition's picture quality is perfect. i cant imagine how good the pan and scan version looks. However this pack does have its down side. and that is the poor quality of the video game of The Mummy Returns. Lets face it there arent that many good video games out there made after movies (exceptions being Goldeneye N64, possibly The World is not Enough N64). So in the end the high price on this pack probably isnt worth it, you should just get the DVD alone and save yourself the money
