The Mummy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't play a lot of video games; we bought a Game Cube last year and we have a few games, then we "inherited" my nephew's PS1game and "The Mummy" along with it. My nephew, like most teens, is very prolific at these games, but he got stuck on the 3rd level(caverns of the Nile) when he could'nt make it down the river on the log. I'm in my late 40's with a degree in US History, so I'm drawn to anything even remotely historical. I LOVE this game! Yes, some of the graphics are a little outdated, but games have come a long way on the past 5 years. The weapons,fights, and various settings are very well done, and the music and the many booby traps keep you on the edge of your seat.I have made it through all 16 levels, in just a few months; pretty good for someone with NO game experience at all. If I had more time, I would play it 2 hours a day, every day- but I don't. And for those "reviewers" who complained about it being unrealistic ("I'm sure Egyptologists are killing everyone"), well HELLO! This, like 99% of video games is FICTION! Anyway,if you want a game with a simple premise, lots of action and progressively harder challenges, give "The Mummy" a try. My only regret is that I won't get a chance to try "The Mummy Returns", as it is a PS2 game. If I had a chance to purchase a less-used copy of "The Mummy" I would, as mine is starting to wear out!PS. The 4 or 5 chase scenerios and the 2 trips downriver on logs are an absolute challenge, and a BLAST!

Star Wars Dark Forces Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a first-person shooter enthusiast, I had high hopes for Dark Forces when I hear about it for the first time.
And as it may be a sin to compare it to Doom, because honestly and truthfully, this game is hardly what Doom is, I must say one thing....take Doom, send it through a meat grinder, out pops Dark Forces.
Everything in this game is ho-hum....half or less than half of what Doom gives the Playstation gamer.
It's not THAT disappointing....it's still very fun to play....but the whole game seems rushed. People forgot to add more than 3 colors to walls and background images, and the pixelization is unsurpassed. Stormtroopers and items laying about look like primitive Lego models. The soundtrack isn't all that bad, but could be better....the voices are really done well though.
The levels in the game are ok....I found myself getting lost on some of them though due to the fact everything looks the same because of the limited color palette....and even some areas I'm guessing are supposed to be covered in "shadows" are in all actuality, just black spaces with no graphics at all.
The weapons are typical Star Wars guns....nothing entirely special, but it is a fun selection.
If you're a Star Wars fan, and can get this game for 5 bucks or less, by all means, add it to your collection.
But if you're a first-person shooter junkie, look elsewhere for a top-quality shooter.
Overall, an average game, 5 out of 10, possibly 5.5.
