Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy - Nintendo Switch

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy came out in the days of the Playstation 2, Xbox, Gamecube, and Dreamcast -- though the Dreamcast was long gone by the time it released. This game was quickly forgotten because there were a lot of platformers back then, especially of the "mid-tier" variety (Voodoo Vince, Vexx, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Kao the Kangaroo, and on and on). It was tough back in those days to compete with the likes of Mario, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, etc. That didn't mean that Sphinx was a bad game -- quite the opposite! And since the genre isn't as alive as it once was, it's nice to see a forgotten gem like this brought back. While it shows its age, this is definitely the best looking version in existence. If you like the platforming genre & have never played Sphinx, I'd recommend giving it a go. It doesn't have voice acting, or even odd noises like a Banjo & Kazooie, but it doesn't need it. It's a fun game for all ages.

The graphics look really good. Nice colors. However game play felt dated. The camera was too sensitive. No voice acting. Subtitles while character mouth moved. I can only recommend on sale.

As far as Gamecube platforms go, Sphinx was one of the better ones on the system. A solid 20 hours that offers unique gameplay mechanics and intricate puzzle-solving.

This is a port of a ps2 game. It's fun but the controls are kinda cluncky. If you like platformers you'll like this game but it feels kinda dated.

I loved this game on the original xbox. I was excited when they ported it to the switch. this is a fun platform game and is very enjoyable.
