    A pleasant surprise that is faithful to the movie without compromising the game.
  2. Media and Games Online Network

    By far the best video game based on The Mummy franchise, but it still isn’t great.
  3. IGN
    62
    For this grizzled old veteran of the action game realm, the Point of View developed movie piece leaves a lot to be desired.
  5. GameZone
    56
    A bloodless hack-and-slasher that goes nowhere and will leave gamers feeling truly disappointed.
  6. Game Over Online
    52
    It is a straightforward brawler that controls sloppily and attempts to mix in components like an experience-based system but fails miserably in almost every regard.
  7. GamePro
    50
    You’ll often find the interface working against you.
  8. PSM Magazine
    50
    An under-responsive combo system and jerky character animations give the impression that this was pushed through production before being finished. [Nov 2002, p.54]
