Ankh: Curse of the Scarab King

“ The humour is well placed if a little too overdone, the fact that this game was aimed at a younger generation means it is difficult to see how they could get away with adding drinking and other more adult themes into the game. This title is a little hit and miss though and many things on the copy I had were rather buggy. There is a problem with a crash after the third act on a cut scene which completely freezes up your game and makes it impossible to get out of. After a quick internet search I did find the solution but only on the maker’s German website which I had to translate. On a whole the game is a solid yet tricky point and click game that will have you using your brain matter and getting confused and irritable. I would of loved to try the PC version to see how they both compare. I feel that as this game is quite long and most of the time you have to remember where you are and what you are doing, having this for a handheld console has no benefits. If you are a diehard fan of the genre you will probably jump straight in and have no problems. If you are new to the genre you should try and look for some older games to whet your appetite before you try this. ”
