    This game is the best game i've ever played in my life!
    When I was 1 year old I even was watching how my parents and my brother played this game!
    I was soo in to this game that when I was getting in to the game play I felt like I was In a different world.

    10/10!!!! LOVE IT!

    A grand and epic adventure, this game is worthy of being considered one of the great titles for the Gamecube. The levels are immense, the puzzles well thought out, and the action is superb.

    The game is great looking and fun UNTIL you get to the spot with the BUG and CAN'T GO ON. My saved game was saved at a BAD SPOT (ONLY 6.5 hrs. into it) and then you have to start all over.

    This game was fun and entertaining and fairly original and would most likely entertain younger audiences also.

    It's no zelda, but it is a great action adventure.

    It provides the type of Zelda thrills you would expect with excellent puzzles and a truly enjoyable game world. Slight deficiencies do announce themselves, including a game-killing glitch 1/3 of the way through, a lackluster final boss and a rushed ending that just screams "Sequel!"

    Solidly designed, solidly programmed, very pretty, and about as close to "Zelda" as PS2 and Xbox will ever get. This one deserves to be a sleeper hit.

    While Sphinx's adventures are rather average and play very similarly to "Starfox Adventures" and the Zelda games, the Mummy levels are a different matter - stealth and laughs abound in equal measures and there are some extremely clever puzzles that fully exploit the Mummy's undead status.
