This thread has been linked to the game 'Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy'.
Well i've been longing for a great Platform adventure since Wind Waker! Beyond Good and Evil and Prince Of Persia are the only two so far that have stopped my adventure cravings! but i wanted something well near ideantical to Zelda, i thought i wasn't going to find any game to match the experience of the Wind Waker! Until now...
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy might look to you as an average Platform game but you'll be amazed to hear that in my opinion IT'S BETTER THEN ZELDA: THE WIND WAKER in many aspects. However it doesn't come close to the likes of Ocarina of time i must add.
Firstly the game is HUGE, what's the point of it being an adventure if your out at 9:00am and home at 4:00pm? There's not one is there? An Adventure should last around the 20-25 hours, and i'm pleased to say Sphinx is looking that way. 1

I know I haven't played it, but to get 95% it'd have to be an astounding game and getting that score would make it the best game on the GameCube to date. I'd give Metroid Prime 9.5/10, y'know. Is it really up to that standard, or do you have ridiculously low standards? Have you EVER disliked a game?

Anyway The game is getting even better, the first hour is quite slow but after that it's all superb. I encounted my first boss today 8 hours through the game! The worlds you go to look brilliant and they are massive, there are so many puzzles and the Mummy sections are excellent it wouldn't surpirse me if this get's around the 95% mark, it deserves to!
