Mavis Beacon would have a fit if she had to play this.

You have to use the default controls that straddle the length and depth of the entire keyboard. No problem, you think, I'll configure the controls. Trouble is, you can't use one in The Mummy. Now this is fine for first-person shooters, flight sim's and strategy games, but for stuff like this, you really want a joypad. You see, whereas on the PSX, you had a nice little joypad to twirl your character around, with the PC, you've got a big, unwieldy keyboard.

Unfortunately The Mummy falls down on just about every other element, as well. Just look at Civilization - when I first started playing that I thought catapults were really offensive quill pens, but it was a cracking game none the less. Yes, I know this is supposed to be a pyramid and any light is blocked out by thousands of tons of stone, but why can you see perfectly for about 15ft and the rest of the world is plunged into darkness? My (ill) educated guess would be that it's to keep up the framerate on the ageing Playstation.īut poor graphics don't necessarily make for a poor game. pcx file where his feet went, but perhaps the worst offence of them all, is the sudden drop into darkness. Footprints look like someone slapped a black and white. Tell him to run at max speed and he just ducks his head down and waves his arms and legs around faster, which looks as silly as it sounds.īacking away from enemies is also a waste of time because your character walks backwards at the heady speed of ten feet per hour, which often means you get chewed up in no time. O'Connell runs like he's in a Charlie Chaplin movie, with back ramrod straight, knees kicking up to his stomach and arms at perfect right angles. Textures are bland and lifeless with a ridiculously low resolution, the real-time lighting is prehistoric and the animation is, frankly, a joke. Now, the poor graphics on Playstation ports are nothing new, but when games like Sacrifice, Giants and Severance have graphics so sweet, they'd melt in your mouth, the downright ugliness of The Mummy becomes more apparent and even more inexcusable. The first disappointment comes with the graphics. Yes, you run about a lot shooting bad guys, yes you have to jump from ledge to ledge quite a bit as well, but for all its Lara-like pretensions, The Mummy falls short by a long distance. But if you're looking for a spiritual successor to Tomb Raider, then you're bound to be disappointed. The adventure begins when Evelyn reads from the Book of the Dead and accidentally reawakens Imhotep, a long-dead Egyptian bad guy who commands his army of mummies to wreak havoc on O'Connell and the crew who delve deeper and deeper into the pyramid.Īs you might expect, the story is largely ignored and takes a distant second place to the Tomb Raider -esque running and jumping antics which dominate the game. He later returns with Egyptologist Evelyn Carnahan and her treasure-obsessed brother Jonathan. You are Rick O'Connell, a Foreign Legionnaire who narrowly escapes with his life from a battle raging above the ancient and deserted city of Hamunaptra. The Mummy follows the basic plot and characters from the film. Anyway, if you've read this far, I suppose you'll want to know more about the game.

This is a tad unfortunate because ELSPA have given it an 11+ rating. Predator, made the game? Answers on a postcard to: Rebellion's Big Bulging Bank Account, Switzerland.Ĭynicism and possible lawsuits aside, The Mummy is a game aimed fairly and squarely at the younger audience, and as a result isn't particularly suitable for anyone over the age of seven. So why have Rebellion, respected developers of the more than respectable Alien vs. Nothing in the history of videogames, or indeed in the history of anything, ever, says this is a good idea and it's going to work.

So when a port from a Playstation game, which also happens to be a film license comes along, it should, by all the laws of common sense, be an absolute disaster. It applies to computer games as well decent Playstation ports come once every century and good film license conversions are so rare, they're a protected species. Things like mint-flavoured peas, ying-yang shaped coffee tables, or a toothbrush that doubles as an earwax remover. There are some things in this world which are doomed to failure before they were even dreamt of by some mad inventor in his squalid laboratory.
