Game review: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

This version of the disappointing third movie looks good enough ... but you'll find it infuriating
  
  

Mummy 3 videogame

The PlayStation 2 hit UK shelves roughly the same time as The Mummy and both seem to be living on borrowed time. This version of the disappointing third movie looks good enough, but looks alone don't make an arcade adventure. Once you get to the fighting, you'll find it infuriating to perform due to a meandering camera and interfering lock-on system, and hard to enjoy thanks to the repetitive and soulless battles. This is a pity as the animations are fluid and the locations pretty impressive. There are a few sub-Lara puzzles and leaps thrown in but the PS2 has seen much better in this genre. All of which leaves Mummy 3 smelling like old bandages.
