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.

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.

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

The Movie is pretty good, especially if you liked the first one. If you didn't see the first one, you are better off seeing that one first. The game on the other hand, should have come out about ten years ago for Nintendo. The Graphics, gameplay, story, and everything else you can possibly imagine are bad, wait not bad... HORRIBLE! The movie is worth it but, the game... Your money is better spent on somethng else...

Any thing related to the Mummy series is completely awesome! Maybe becuase I am so crazy for the movies. I mean look, how many great movies get turned into video games, not to many, so be grateful and have fun with them :-)
