Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Even for non-fans of The Rock, The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian still manages to surprise and charm. Exceeding the expectations of the movie-tie-in game is easy, but even with that meagre goal, Scorpion King rides high. The game makers didn't cheat on details: voiceover is provided by the actor (Dwayne Johnson) and the storyline is great. After walking through a basic training in the middle of the desert, your first quest is to fight for a woman's fallen honour.
Here's the kind of thing that makes a game good: when Mathayus (your avatar) hits someone and they fall to the ground, his head slowly moves as he watches the enemy get up again. Those touches don't come cheap, and neither does intelligent game design. When you find a health powerup, it comes to you, saving you the annoyance of having to back out of battle to pick it up. Because of this, you walk through the map much more quickly--even Mathayus himself seems a little loose and speeded-up in his movements, compared to other games.
Where they could have produced a cheap cop-out game (knowing they'd sell a certain number of games to fans, regardless), the team behind The Scorpion King made a fun mid-difficulty-level game. It's unlikely that you'll stay up until all hours playing this title, but the hours you spend will be fun and engaging, with good visuals and few mechanical annoyances. --Jennifer Buckendorff
Product Description
This 3-D combat-adventure chronicles the future Scorpion King's first adventure, a long and arduous quest to thwart an evil lord's diabolical plan to raise a supernatural army of beast-warriors to conquer the world. Players will wield multiple attack combinations against enemies. The action takes place in breathtaking vistas of ancient Egypt. The story shapes up as a prequel to the Scorpion King movie, in which World Wrestling Federation superstar The Rock plays hired assassin Mathayus, better known as the Scorpion King.
