    Take a really funny cartoon with all kinds of pop culture references and interesting characters. Add in several jokes that adults will understand and get a belly laugh from but is not too risqué for the kiddies. Throw in some really entertaining scenes like a camel getting the scrub through a car type wash or watching Assil rappel out the nose of a sphinx and you have Ankh.

    It looks good and it’s well acted and it’s funny. And while it’s also short and easy, at least it’s fun while it’s short and easy, and I always prefer that to the opposite.

    The humor and style of Ankh delivers a fun and appealing quest and players will have a melon tweaking time with the numerous puzzles found through out the game.

    It’s fun and humorous, if not a little short, and except for a few snags here and there when it comes to looking for items or trying to think up the next too-convoluted solution, it’s a fun game to play through to the end.

    Ankh delivers an enjoyable, kid-friendly romp through an attractive Egyptian setting in a compact, old-fashioned point-and-click package that is sure to induce a chuckle or two.

    It does nothing amazing, but it puts some spring back into the step of the adventure game genre and hails back to the quality and humour of Lucasarts classics of yore.

    The writers spent so much time copying classic LucasArts adventures that they forgot to make the game enjoyable on its own. [Feb. 2007, p.74]

    I only played the german version of this game, which is the original, so I can't say anything about the quality of the translations orI only played the german version of this game, which is the original, so I can't say anything about the quality of the translations or speakers.
    But what I can say is that the german version is a very very good game! It really reminds me of the good old Lucas Arts adventures that we all love so much, because it has a similar style, great gags, logical riddles and VERY good speakers that fit to the characters, which create a very convenient atmosphere. The only reason why I don't give it a 10 is because it is a little too easy for an adventure-verteran like me. But that is probably just me and it still is a great game that I will definitely play again in a little while.    … Expand

    now i can say that this searching for the first Ankh game was no waste of time or money!
    Yes, graphics are may be not very smooth...but i like that old skool look. dialogue and characters are funny. voice acting is good in english. and i just love that ancient-egypt scenery.    … Expand

    Je voulais commencer le test de l’étron avec un jeu de mots ou plutôt un exercice de conjugaison avec Ankh : je t’Ankh, tu m’Ankh, il t’Ankh,Je voulais commencer le test de l’étron avec un jeu de mots ou plutôt un exercice de conjugaison avec Ankh : je t’Ankh, tu m’Ankh, il t’Ankh, vous Ankhulez, ils s’Ankhulent, nous t’Ankhulons (à rekhulons) ils voulaient t’Ankhuler et ainsi de suite mais attention, car t’Ankh va à l’eau que la Khruche s’Ankhcrasse !

    Et t’Ankh qu’ils y aura des hommes et des des sales jeux de merde dans ce sous-genre qu’on appelle « jeux d’aventure », alors on n’est pas sorti de l’auberge ! Comme d’habitude, de toute façon, il ne peut rien faire cet Ankhulé ! je ne peux pas aller par là, je ne peux pas ouvrir ça maintenant, je ne peux pas utiliser ça parce que t’as pas cliqué au bon endroit et patati et patata…

    Le jeu d’aventure de merde quoi ! (pléonasme bien entendu) dans toute son horreur avec comme de coutume (aussi) l’humour (?!) loufoque à nette tendance mongolienne mongoloïde d’attardé golio et bien évidemment les graphismes très simplets et niais en 256 couleurs… mais en 3 dimensions quand même, contrairement à la 2D très habituelle du sous-genre.

    Enfin, bref donc, on s’en bat les couilles de cette merdasse d’imbéciles et je dirais même plus que ça : on s’en rebat les couilles de cette merdasse de jeu à la mords-moi-le-noeud de mes deux !!    … Expand
