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

Nokia should never tried to battle the GBA for portble gaming supremecy coz mobile phones don't exactly hav the best controls do they when they come to games. All you have to do is press 4 or a 7 or a 9, but they are too close together for the comfort of the GBA controls. Also the N-Gage is definetly losing the battle in Japan, USA and UK coz they brought it out too late, coz the GBA has been out since July 2002, and this summer 2003. the ab is already a years worth of profits ahead of the N-gage an mostly everyone has one already (GBA I mean).

Apart from the fact it's great.
Honestly, I know a lot of people were disappointed by it, but I can't fault it in terms of epic grandeu, story, combat, grapics, sound and the general feel of it. True, it was a bit short and there was a lot of sailing and odd little islands that had little point, but the grand moments were simply magical.
