This game ****! Look, I enjoy the idea of playing as a character that looks like the Sphinx and characters themed like they’re from Ancient Egypt and the Ancient Egypt setting. However, there was such a low amount of effort put into how things like the controls work, how the enemy AI works. You know, things that make or break a game. The controls were so janky and there was no aim mode for throwing things which is just so awful. You have no clear way to tell where objects will land meaning you tend to miss your targets. The jump feature is awful. No double jump ability and they make you hold the button down to jump further. It is so broken. Double jump in a platformer would’ve been better. The level design is plain ugly. It’s just blotchy and brown and lacks fine details. It’s more like a Beta type of game. It’s also lazy there’s no voice acting in such a colorless game. It makes it that much harder to enjoy it when everyone just has lines of text like it’s a Final Fantasy game from the 90s. I quit this dreck **** 15-20 minutes in. It’s just a THQ cash grab.

Sphinx will always have a special place in my little game collection, and will perhaps always be my favorite game of all time.. It was one of the first games I owned when I got my first console: the PS2 back in 2004. I remember having a selection of games to choose from including a new crash bandicoot game, but I choose this one to play along with my sister beside me. I remember it taking me around a year to complete, although I was very young at the time. Part of the reason I fell in love with this game was the parts when I'd find a new area and be blown away every time the expanses the graphics of the time the monsters, RPG aspect it was all perfect. 100% worth playing if you own an old console and I will perhaps get another PS2 just to play this game again.
