Mother may I.
No one really remembers Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, which makes it rather odd property to raise from dead. Originally released on the GameCube back in the early 2000s, it came out during the renaissance for action platformers, with the likes of Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and Jak & Daxter cementing PS2 as the place to be. Add in the fact it was an original IP from a now-defunct developer that mostly worked on ports of other games or licensed tie-ins, and Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, despite its quality, slowly sank through the sands of time and memory.
But that’s just the thing. Developer Eurocom may have earned a name for itself by working on Harry Potter games or James Bond entries that ranged from decent to abysmal, but for a short time, it produced something genuinely great. Thankfully, THQ Nordic picked up the rights to this forgotten gem and now it’s been given a lick of HD paint and adjusted to fit the widescreen ratios of modern gaming. It’s still got some of its original faults – this isn’t a full remaster, after all – but it doesn’t take long to realise why Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is such an underrated addition to a populous genre.
