Yeah I admit that the camera system once you try to catch things isn't too effective but thankfully you really don't have to catch much unless you really want to get everything in the game. A cool trick I use against some of the bigger, nastier enemies is get them to the blinking yellow state and instead of risking damage by going for the final blow I just capture the fuckers no matter how many I already have.

Anyways, good luck with it and let me know what you think.

I just started it up, and I'm loving it. I'm extremely disappointed in the lack of voice acting, though. Sorely.

I love the atmousphere, the character designs are freaking great, the animation is excellent, and the control is tight. Truely this is a platformer done right. I just got the part where the Mummy becomes the Mummy, and now I assume I'll have to go collecting the "Soul Jars" in order to save his lanky ass. I'm down with that.

Funny that Sphinx and Horus seem to be working for Imhotep . . . you know, the real cursed mummy. Heh. You'd think the guys at Eurocom would've stuck him with a better name, and not that of an undead, cursed, power-hungry demi-god who seeks the destruction and subjegation of the human race. Oh well. He seems like a nice guy to me, if a bit demanding and domineering.
