    This game is horrible and absolute s***! Why? Because it is the same company that made the poopy game Ninjabread Man! It had a new story,visuals and a new character and that is pretty much it. Please please please do not buy this game. It sucks! Only 0.0000000000000000000001 times better than Ninjabread Man.

    This game is awful. Why? It's made by the same company as the crappy game Ninjabread Man. They got different levels, visuals, A new character for the hero and that's it. Anubis II is only 0.00001 times better than Ninjabread Man. Do not buy this game. It sucks.

    Fun fact: even though this game clearly says Anubis II on the box art, it is actually pronounced "Anubis the second". As it is NOT a sequel. There is no Anubis 1

    I've had this game since I was a wee lad, and hot damn, this is probably the most garbage game I've ever played, Only 9 levels? That's barely ANY content, especially for something that's trying to pass itself off as a collectathon of sorts. Beginning to see how budgeted it truly was, ignoring the fact it's a direct clone of DDI's original game, Ninjabread Man.

That's barely ANY content, especially for something that's trying to pass itself off as a collectathon of sorts. Beginning to see how budgeted it truly was, ignoring the fact it's a direct clone of DDI's original game, Ninjabread Man.

    The combat in this game is trashier than a dumpster. Everything is motion-control based. Melee attacks rarely register, and when they do, you're still too close to the enemy to not get hurt yourself, considering their ridiculous speed AND that no matter what the enemy, they always make a straight path for you. Ranged attacks are the most viable method of killing the vast swathes of giant bugs and other enemies throughout the scarce number of levels, but it still controls like manure. Think of it like bootleg Wii Play shooting range, but sluggish as hell and projectiles will glitch out of existence on occasion.
    Jumping is a chore in this game for those unfortunate enough to not know you can simply press Z to jump. Instead, the game only tells you to use the nunchuck and its motion controls for jumping. Ain't that just delightful, huh? Tediously delightful.

    All that and more. That's the general gist of just what this game f***s up, besides being a glitchy and unpleasant mess as well as a literal clone of their previous works. Same engine, same controls, just with a few more levels. Which to be frank, makes it a little worse; it means you have to suffer through this game longer.

    If you see this game for sale for anything more than one or two nickels, pass it up. Don't hurt your brain playing this.    … Expand

    This is hands down one of the biggest disgraces to human excitance, mabye even all forms of life. It has contaminated the universe and just lowerd our chances of encountering extraterrestrial life by a long shot.

    Prepare yourself for the worst Nintendo Wii game ever made! Similar to Ninjabread Man, this game is panned for the jerky camera and the short amount of levels to get through. The gameplay looks to be different to the supposed-of story. If you want this game, don't buy it in the first place. None of Data Design Interactive games will be given scores higher than a 3 out of 10, so don't buyPrepare yourself for the worst Nintendo Wii game ever made!

    If you would pay real money for the privilege of rubbing a rusty cheese grater on your own exposed brain then this is the game for you. I'd rather spend my time listening to Barry Manilow records whilst reading "A verbose history of the evolution of the roofing nail".

    this has got to be one of the worst games on the wii. There are only nine levels in the game... and this was released in 2007. the same year BioShock was released, mario galaxy, Sonic Rush Adventure, and more gems. this game can be summed up in 6 words: a carbon copy of Ninjabread Man. there are better games on the wii, so why bother

    My god, this game is amazing! I have no idea why people would hate this game. I mean the ending was so good and the final boss made me wet! But hey, its a opinion. This game made me wet.

    Ok, I went to metacritic.com to see the games that got the worst reviews (balls of fury and anubis 3) and rented them.

It looks like the photoshopped a dog's head on ninjabread man's body and re-made the game that way! If you see this game in any store, close your eyes, turn around and start running. when you get out of the games viciinity, call an exorcist, and the recovering period you need should only last a few weeks. The game recieves not just a 0, but should be sent to a gulag somewhere in Russia to be used to torture the worst criminals in existance.… Expand

    Not #3, but #2. I'm glad there's not more than two though, It would mean a hell of alot of more pain and suffering in this world!

    ANUBIS II is a great game as it has UFO flying around in it and we need to use our magical brooms to catch them and send them back to their planets of hell. The original game was decent enough but the sequel took it to new heights. Two times the fun, two times the enjoyment. I wish there would be another sequel to this trilogy. Maybe, we will be catching aliens instead.

    It is better than ninjabread man but not by much. This game is the same exact way how I describe ninjabread man. Generic, repetitive, basic, boring, bad, and more terrible words to describe this mess called a video game.

    I love this game and it is a complete masterpiece. Anubis is a fun character that is totally not a rip off of Ninjabread Man and the controls are responsive and the graphics are great. The only thing I’m confused about is why there isn’t an Anubis the First game. I need more Anubis!!!

    used to play this game more often than I’d like to admit as a kid, and I’m only rating it a 3 for the nostalgic value it holds to me. recently picked it back up and let me tell you, this game is actually painful to play. baby me had extremely low standards in entertainment.

    This game blows. it just a copy of the equally terrible Ninja-bread man. Awful graphics, controls, level design, game-play and camera system. Don't play this.

    This game is little more than Ninjabread man with asset swaps. It has horrible combat mechanics, terrible level design, and don't get me started on the glitches. This game is one of the reasons the Wii was known for 3rd party shovelware.

    Bellissimo gioco. Un po' difficile il boss ma molto carino. Un po' corto ma bello

    Step away from the budget title. Slowly turn around, and make for the exit. There are nine levels in the game, but why you'd want to play past the first few steps of the first stage is a question only a neurologist and an expert team of psychologists could answer.

    Forged from middleware obtained from the bowels of Hell, Anubis II is a game with only the cruelest and most heartless of intentions. If for some reason this game finds its way into your home, witness as it engages your children (or anyone else) in a swift moment of neutrality before it throws off its cloak and shows its true colors.
