Long ago, an evil and twisted spirit known as Mumm'hotep plunged the Land of Egypt into Darkness. Many had thought was forever destroyed, but the evil spirit has risen again and taken physical form. A 'Pharaohs Curse' has been placed over the fastest, strongest and most poisonous of Egypt's inhabitants and is holding his once peaceful civilisation in its hands! The situation has become so terrible that the Gods have called on the only warrior that could rid the sands of these evil monsters and return peace to Egypt... The mighty Anubis. You must take control of Anubis, as he embarks on his quest to save Egypt from the terrifying Curse of the Pharaohs! Along his journey, Anubis will encounter deadly locusts, snapping stone statues, maniac mummies, skeletons and many other monsters from both the Egyptian Underworld and living inhabitants possessed by the evil spirits.
Played worse games, but tough to control the little dog thing
Last half term (weather being rubbish as usual), and Nintendo bringing the price of the wii down to £99, I finally bought the family one. Trouble was only one game, so on-line with ebay.
Anubis II is a pretty straight forward cartoon type Egyptian dog thing which runs around, jumps gaps and kill things game.
Graphics are OKish.
My boys found that its fiddly and tough to control with the weird double handed controller thing (we are all new to wii, so maybe its us!!) it gets very frustrating as my 5 and 7 year olds found out, as did I, the view point doesnt help, as it can take a bit of walking about to see where your supposed to go next, and after about 10 goes at the same bit because we fell off or cant jump the gap, or got eaten or what ever we all got bored (after about 15 minutes!)and played something else.
I would suggest if you are looking to buy it, dont pay more than £5, dont buy it for young children, and either be a wizz with your wii remotes or stock up on patience.
Saying all that, Ive not sold it on just yet, as I still find it quite playable, and it beats the hell out of Max and Sam!!Read full review
