For anyone who fell head over heels with The Mummy, released in 1999, will be delighted to find The Mummy Game picks up where the first two series finished, with Rick O'Connell at the Oasis of Ahm Shere, defeating the Scorpion King. Based upon these legendary storylines, the game begins in the 1930's when an adventurous wife becomes extremely ill from a set of coveted rocks she discovered. These stones were coveted by Ramses, called "The Stones of Rancor," and her adoring husband must now travel a rough and difficult road to unearth her cure.

This is not the only plot established for The Mummy Game, as many different levels and characters have been formed to best please all audiences. Players may choose any gender, any responsibility, including a few such as librarians or scholars for the good side and assassins or priests for the bad side. All of the familiar foes have returned in this game, including the decayed mummies with khopesh blades and warrior jackal-heads. To compliment all the heroes and enemies presented in the game are the levels and maps as well; they were crafted after movie scenes and also include voice cameos from the films.

The Anubis warriors that Rick once imprisoned back into the sands will come to life once again with the conjuring of an evil princess by the name of Masika. Just as Imhotep wanted the warriors for his own world conquer, so will Masika, and it is up to the player to save the world or join the dark side to help take it over. A variety of maps, relics, weapons, and character progressions are involved in the deep storylines that comprise this game.

The pigmy scene in the second chapter was an intense fight scene- just as the game stays true to the movies the Oasis of Amunet will be an interesting level to complete. Only backing down to beings of greater religious power than themselves, these flesh-eaters are hand to hand combatants equipped with spears ready at a moment's notice to jump out from behind a tree. Players must also be aware of the nesting scarabs present all over Amarna, which is the name of the land The Mummy Game takes place in. Other fields of battle include the Bazaar and the Ruins of Tabari, both with their own danger such as giant scorpions, jackal-headed warriors, and mummies.

This three dimensional game is free and played over the Internet. A clue of all the action and adventure concerned with this delightful game can be witnessed in the trailer. Click on your browser now to play The Mummy Game and hand-pick your fate today.
