An Ancient Egyptian platforming adventure from the makers of... those rad 007 games?! DUDE, we need to check this out! / nitroradofficial / nitrorad / nitrorad
Between this and Ty, it's nice that lesser-known PS2 titles are starting to get decent PC ports. I also wonder if THQ Nordic will be restoring any cut content.
The depiction of Tutankhamun in this game actually appears to be relatively accurate. Despite what many would think, the boy was lanky and frail, being afflicted with several congenital defects and generally suffering ill health. Scientists have been able to virtually model what he probably looked like-- and let's just say, he wasn't a looker... So, the game got him pretty spot on, which I liked.
The only thing you forgot to mention is the soundtrack. This games soundtrack is really the cherry on top for the Egyptian world. Absolutely genius. Check it out
All I want is a sequel to finally resolve that bloody cliffhanger. It’s been 15 years! THQNordic own the rights to the game! Make a bloody sequel already, to this hidden masterpiece!
Yo but real talk, I wanted this game so badly when I was a kid. I remember seeing this game in the store and thinking to myself I want to get this one day. And I never did. I'm so glad I'm watching this video, it feels like everything has come full circle. I can finally see what this game is like. Thank you for uploading this.
This is the kind of game that shows what can happen when a game isn't simply mass produced. The devs didn't get any chances to make games of their own so when the chance arrived they really put their heart and soul into it and it really shows. Another great review of a great game I've never heard of.
I'm so glad you liked it! Such an under appreciated platformer. THQ Nordic specifically bought the IP a little while back as you say, which does perhaps hint at a rerelease; I sincerely hope so because it deserves to be enjoyed by more people!
This game just got a physical release on the Switch, and your review helped me decide to buy it. Thank you!! Maybe enough people will play it so they'll make a sequel??
Falco started that trend, and i'm used to it by this point, it's more odd when the bird is nice to you, like Kass in botw, he's my favourite npc in the game
I absolutely loved this game. I was amazed at how long and involved it was. I had a blast playing it and finding ways to work around the puzzles. However this game was so long and involved I figured I would never play it again. So I gave it away to charity....I might regret that decision now, but it's not like I can't get another copy. Plus I let some other kid have a ton of fun with it years ago and now they have fond memories of it too. I'm glad this game exists, and it definitely deserves an HD re-release.
Great video, Nitro! This game was my childhood, an absolute classic. You should consider checking out Metal Arms: Glitch in The System. Another game of similar quality and caliber. I'll throw in a side suggestions to check out Destroy All Humans! as well.
He mentioned that he was defiantly going to order a copy of Metal Arms and save it for a future review in a reply to my message on his FaceBook page. He has never heard of it and said it looks sick. Can't wait for that review! :D
Both of those games were total gems back in the day! Metal Arms in particular deserves a sequel or at least a proper remaster but seeing as Activision is sitting on the license and doing absolutely nothing with it, chances of that happening is literally zero.
The reason Sphinx looks so smug is because he is smug! He knows he's the best at what he does and he shows it. Every facial expression show "yeah that's right.... I'm better then you!" His climbing animation.....uhhh... Yeah I don't know either chief...
From what I understand, there was talk about bringing the game to the Nintendo Switch, since the Switch's audience would be perfect for this kind of game.
Xem at around 16:50 in the video it shows the latter half of this claim but i havent personally seen any sources saying it was going to get ported. i could be totally wrong
It came to Switch in February of 2019 I believe. I picked up the only physical copy of it at my GameStop on launch day and don't regret spending the $20 at all.
I love this game, especially playing as the mummy. The only game I've played that the point is to get electrocuted or on fire, instead of avoiding traps like that.
The fast travel system freaked my the hell out when I was younger. Also, props to this game for being the only game I can think of where you move at decent speed when carrying something.
I am getting major Deja vu from this game. I swear I've played it at some point years ago and yet I remember little to nothing about it. Also the fact the game ends on an unresolved cliffhanger is pretty disappointing.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVED this game in elementary school. Randomly thought of it and TH-camd it, glad to see it was as good as I remember it being. You’ve earned a new subscriber, keep it up!
I picked up this game entirely based on this video that I saw 2 years ago and man, you were so right. Amazing game, good looking and holds up really well today. Let's hope that the switch release sells well and that we get a sequel for it !
Oh man! Sphinx was one of the first video games I ever bought, I'm glad you were able to play and enjoy it even a decade after it came out -- and I still can't believe Eurocom ended it with a cliffhanger >.
Sphinx was one of my favorite games on the Gamecube and the ending left me wanting more so badly! They did eventually do an HD rerelease on Switch, so hopefully THQ Nordic gets around to a sequel!
Used to play the crap out of this game - finished it twice back to back because it really is a damn fun game! Such a shame it didn't get the attention it deserved but I really hope it gets a release on Steam and current gen consoles with a lovely HD face lift to polish up the textures and adding modern graphical effects whilst retaining the art style of the original game. I would buy that in a heartbeat.
Just found your channel through a random youtube recommendation, this sort of thing is right up my alley and they're really well produced videos. Keep it up!
There's a multitude of possible reasons, but there are always some TH-camrs fall through the cracks since there are so many that cover simalier content.
I swear, the 6th gen has something for obscure 3D platformers. But hey, I think it's definitely possible for this game to get a sequel,port or maybe if we're a lucky, a remaster. Like you said, anything at this point is possible.
> port or maybe if we're a lucky, a remaster Those are one and the same. They really are. One is just a fancy-schmancy word for the other meant to fool the masses into thinking there's more to ports than there really is. It's only logical the devs are going to bump up the resolution and use higher res textures (that are leftovers from the original development cycle) in a port on more powerful hardware. In my eyes, if the game still has the same level & character geometry, the same amount of polygons, it's just a port.
There was a squeal planed, but it never got finished. All the people that worked on it moved on to other companies before it was finished. Maybe if it gets remastered or a remake, maybe they can finish the story.
I the bonus videos in the game there's so much cool gameplay that was never put into the game. Like traveling to the next island on the boat in metropolis i believe and when the one bird tells you to look for him to go on another mission, telling you where he is, and you never find him! And what about when you plant all the trees and it never rains! There's so much more they left out, us players NEED it remastered and finished!!
I count on you for showing these obscure games I never came across or had a chance to play. This one looks really cool and fun. I'm going to check it out thanks to you. Thanks for doing what you do. You're awesome. :)
Sphinx and the cursed mummy is one of my most favourite games ever! I was so surprised to see that you did a fully in depth video on it. It's a great game and a huge part of my childhood!
God, I remember when this game was marketed with several different subtitles. One that I remember clearly was Sphinx and the Shadow of Set. I wonder what made them change it?
There’s a great Egyptian Style FPS on the Sega Saturn callled PowerSlave, and it’s great. You might like it, as it has a lot of Metroid-like & even some platformer-like elements, even though it’s primarily a shooter.
This is one of the best games know ones every played on the PS2, i fucking love this gem of a title, so happy I found this channel from just youtube searching sphinx and the cursed mummy for nostalgia, you got a sub man!
you are making me liking more games besides jrpgs in a good way I been loving your channel for the last few months I hope you continue making awesome content
i had this game as a kid on gamecube. played through the whole thing and loved it...glad someone is doing a video on it and giving it some much deserved recognition
Slowly and methodically watching all your videos leaving a like on each one! Keep up the good work, your videos remind me of the old G4TV video game review shows. Great length, great content, comprehensive opinion and overviews, and just good commentary and editing! Love it man.
this game was one of my childhood games! (along with beyond good and evil) i'm glad someone brought it up again, i always enjoyed the designed world of sphinx
This is a great game, I haven't played A.C. Origins, yet, so I can't compare them, but Sphinx and the Crursed Mummy is fun and a more unique style of gameplay than most games released 2day :)
i played this game as a kid and god i still adore it, glad to see people still doing previews of this game, thanks now im gonna play it again on an emulator
+Shesez to be brutally honest that's theFIRST thing I thought when I saw this games cover hahaha If anything this game is definitely a testament to why you shouldn't judge a nook by its cover!
This is legit one of the most special games I ever had for PS2. Actually, this was the only game my Mum ever owned. Don't know why but my Dad bought it for her birthday. She never showed any interest in the PlayStation before, but she watched me go through the game start to finish and hence it's why this is one of my all time favourites :3
I am so glad you liked this game. I bought a used copy years later just for the cover art and was blown away by how great it was. Really wish they'd make the sequel! Please for the love of God! (So happy there was a rerelease!)
Well the girl with the blue hair (channel icon) is the "Nana" in "Nana-Kyoto" (just in the "casual" outfit I designed) As for the channel banner, that is an original character (only in her "slim" form) and for thumbnails, she is in her "thick" form. Does that answer your question?
Followup on my months old comment: Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy for for PC has been confirmed by THQ Nordic. Yep, from now on I'm calling you my "lucky Canadian" because almost every time you do a video on an obscure sixth generation 3D platformer I really want to play, an updated HD port gets announced not long after (hell even ones you didn't like such as Ty have PC ports now).
I still remember seeing this game in Nintendo Power and in stores and being really curious about it. I really wanted to play it, but I never got the chance. Thanks for reviewing it so I can finally see it!
I still have my copy, it's nice to see people still appreciate this hidden gem, I found out about this game in a ad in a PlayStation magazine and it interest me and it had a demo disk too, after that I bought and fell in love with it, and your right, the game does look good for it's time, and I feel like it's one of those games that's re-playable...well when I try to speedrun it. XD
I love Egypt's mythology (even going so far as to read all the books in my middle school's library, lol) So for this to be uploaded on my birthday is really cool 😊
The bodily harm game mechanic reminds me a lot of the Wario Land's game mechanic's, where in order to access certain areas or puzzles Wario would have to get hit by a certain enemy to transform himself. This game is clicking to so much niches that I'm actually interested in picking it up on Switch.
Nirvanes YOOOO!!! Kameo was such a good game! Kinda stupid in the controls department but a great game overall! All of the forms have there own uses! Ash is great for taking out a ton of people as well as healing yourself after getting the inferno move. Thermite is great for traversal. Deep blue was used for water segments. Flex was great for taking out enemies quickly with little risk. Pummel weed was great when you had slowed down time. Sorry I'm rambling... Good game though!
I’m only 19 years old so it’s rare that i get to say this type of thing, but i grew up on this game! It’s FANTASTIC. SO much nostalgia here. I just purchased it on steam for 3.97$!!!! Absolutely underrated and needs so much more attention.
**UPDATE** THQNordic has ported the game to steam and Nintendo Switch!
Man what a world we live in!
I mean, if a company TODAY picks up bubsy and deems it profitable, ANYTHING'S possible!
Between this and Ty, it's nice that lesser-known PS2 titles are starting to get decent PC ports. I also wonder if THQ Nordic will be restoring any cut content.
Nitro Rad sAY WHAT
Maybe You Could Review The Pc Version
I really hope that the pc version has greatly increased graphics
The depiction of Tutankhamun in this game actually appears to be relatively accurate. Despite what many would think, the boy was lanky and frail, being afflicted with several congenital defects and generally suffering ill health. Scientists have been able to virtually model what he probably looked like-- and let's just say, he wasn't a looker... So, the game got him pretty spot on, which I liked.
I am legit sad that this game never got a sequel. I loved it as a kid.
Especially because it was set up to have a sequel. Very sad
There is a physical demo disc for it
I'm 16 years late to this comment section but I concur.
How did you get an early copy of Assassin Creed Origins?
Nitro Rad is a Time Lord. That's why he has access to every platformer ever made.
@felman87
Assassin's Creed is a platformer?
Looking better than the last ones
PENNY POLENDINA Damn, they made an Assassian's Creed game that isn't glitching to Hell.
@Climber
Isn't it? You run around and jump on and off stuff. It's just an open world platformer.
'Look at this lanky ass, he looks like Jughead without the crown' Roasteddddd xD
The only thing you forgot to mention is the soundtrack. This games soundtrack is really the cherry on top for the Egyptian world. Absolutely genius. Check it out
All I want is a sequel to finally resolve that bloody cliffhanger. It’s been 15 years! THQNordic own the rights to the game! Make a bloody sequel already, to this hidden masterpiece!
Underrated Game.
Sebbromlg
VERY!!!
@@yeetusdeletethis9697 EXTREMELY!!!
This and ‘AC: Origins’ are the best Egypt based games ever (Not that there are so many of them, but still, really good games)
@@PoppyPanda1115 Currently playing this game through Xbox Gold and ashamed of not even hearing from this game before
Shut the f*ck up!!!
One of the most underrated Zelda-likes of all time. NEEDS its sequel.
I'm surprised he didn't talk about the music... Fire mummy gives me nostalgia every time I hear it!
Yo but real talk, I wanted this game so badly when I was a kid. I remember seeing this game in the store and thinking to myself I want to get this one day. And I never did.

"Have you ever seen a game give you an item that you only use once?"
Ratchet & Clank 1 and 2 say hello!
I'm so glad you liked it! Such an under appreciated platformer. THQ Nordic specifically bought the IP a little while back as you say, which does perhaps hint at a rerelease; I sincerely hope so because it deserves to be enjoyed by more people!
praise the lords
I'm hoping that means this game gets an HD rerelease or possibly a reboot.
It should also get a sequel.
This game just got a physical release on the Switch, and your review helped me decide to buy it. Thank you!! Maybe enough people will play it so they'll make a sequel??

FUNALLY SOMEONE NOTICED THAT THING ABOUT BIRD CHARACTERS BEING COCKY JERKS
Nah this game only and star fox, and some characters in animal crossing, and oh fuck Gilda from MLP
Birds do not acknowledge the ascendancy of man.
Falco started that trend, and i'm used to it by this point, it's more odd when the bird is nice to you, like Kass in botw, he's my favourite npc in the game

Good thing they made one!

DAH! is an fantastic series I'd love to see him cover. I feel like he'd really appreciate the gameplay and humor, so it'd be a great video.
Larvenosky Filkens
that's not a platformer

DAH! was my freaking childhood lmao- its so fun flying around in your ship abducting people and cows
Brace yourselves! THQ Nordic is bringing this game back to PC in 4K 60 FPS! My GOG wallet is ready!
Man, this game has charm and soul. You can clearly tell they put a lot of passion into it.
The reason Sphinx looks so smug is because he is smug! He knows he's the best at what he does and he shows it. Every facial expression show "yeah that's right.... I'm better then you!"
His climbing animation.....uhhh... Yeah I don't know either chief...

ConmanWolf Yeah I heard that too hopefully THQ Nordic makes it happen!!
ConmanWolf Really!? Where's the link to the source? :O
Xem at around 16:50 in the video it shows the latter half of this claim but i havent personally seen any sources saying it was going to get ported. i could be totally wrong
It is on Switch now
It came to Switch in February of 2019 I believe. I picked up the only physical copy of it at my GameStop on launch day and don't regret spending the $20 at all.
I WAS WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS REVIEW, THIS EAS MY FIRST PS2 GAME AND I STILL HAVE IT AND LOVE IT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REVIEW
It's getting rereleased tomorrow
I love this game, especially playing as the mummy. The only game I've played that the point is to get electrocuted or on fire, instead of avoiding traps like that.
the noisefucker Lovin' the profile pic.
The fast travel system freaked my the hell out when I was younger. Also, props to this game for being the only game I can think of where you move at decent speed when carrying something.
Like beyond good and evil. Sphinx and the cursed mummy, deserves a sequel.
I am getting major Deja vu from this game. I swear I've played it at some point years ago and yet I remember little to nothing about it.
Also the fact the game ends on an unresolved cliffhanger is pretty disappointing.
I imagine a sequel where Sphinx and Tut fuse and keeps all powers with some new ones throughout.
I fell victim to that memory glitch. I tried reloading hundreds of times before giving up and starting a new save.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVED this game in elementary school. Randomly thought of it and TH-camd it, glad to see it was as good as I remember it being. You’ve earned a new subscriber, keep it up!

In Greek Mythology there was a guy who had the cure for death...
Sphinx And The Greek Physician! That’s the sequel we need!
Okay, someone please open a crowdfunding campaign, this NEEDS to happen!
I remember when this was Sphinx and the Shadow of Set. The PS2 Demo disc, good times.
My dude, you took me way back to middle school. It was one of my favourite game ever !
Thanks a lot 😁

Could you ever talk about the tak series.
no
Jk Jk , It pretty much was. Definetely better than 1 and 3.
I played tak and the guardians of gross, which is kinda like shadow of the colossus except not as good.
Just found your channel through a random youtube recommendation, this sort of thing is right up my alley and they're really well produced videos. Keep it up!
I loved this game when I was younger! My mom played it all the way through on multiple occasions but I usually got stuck towards the beginning lol
Nitro I swear you're channel couldn't be growing any slower. How have you not have hit 50k yet?!
Eqq Tart Because he does games no one knows.
Silent Insanity Which makes his channel more interesting in my opinion
There's a multitude of possible reasons, but there are always some TH-camrs fall through the cracks since there are so many that cover simalier content.
He’s pentupled his subscribers since this comment 2 years ago. I wish I know what changed! Maybe a big video caught a lot of fans?
I swear, the 6th gen has something for obscure 3D platformers. But hey, I think it's definitely possible for this game to get a sequel,port or maybe if we're a lucky, a remaster. Like you said, anything at this point is possible.
> port or maybe if we're a lucky, a remaster
Those are one and the same. They really are. One is just a fancy-schmancy word for the other meant to fool the masses into thinking there's more to ports than there really is. It's only logical the devs are going to bump up the resolution and use higher res textures (that are leftovers from the original development cycle) in a port on more powerful hardware.
In my eyes, if the game still has the same level & character geometry, the same amount of polygons, it's just a port.
There was a squeal planed, but it never got finished. All the people that worked on it moved on to other companies before it was finished. Maybe if it gets remastered or a remake, maybe they can finish the story.

Just bought a copy. So excited to play this, i love Egyptian aesthetics and mythology and i wish there were more games
YES! FINALLY!
Always happy to see Sphinx get some spotlight.
God, I remember when this game was marketed with several different subtitles. One that I remember clearly was Sphinx and the Shadow of Set. I wonder what made them change it?
Very high praise! This game has been sitting on my shelf for several years now. You've made me put it on my list to play this year!
There’s a great Egyptian Style FPS on the Sega Saturn callled PowerSlave, and it’s great. You might like it, as it has a lot of Metroid-like & even some platformer-like elements, even though it’s primarily a shooter.
One day nitro rad will play I-Ninja.
I'm waiting so patiently for it
That game kicks ass I loved it as a kid
This game is my childhood. SO glad they put it on steam
Ive had this for xbox and took like 15 years to beat it. That ending legit hurt my feelings. Thanks for covering it...bumped it up on my queue
I got this game when it first came out because I was obsessed with ancient Egypt. I really hope we get a sequel one day.
Such a good looking game..the character animations are fantastic.
This used to be one of my favorite games when I was younger. Id love to see it come back, but I sadly doubt it
This is one of the best games know ones every played on the PS2, i fucking love this gem of a title, so happy I found this channel from just youtube searching sphinx and the cursed mummy for nostalgia, you got a sub man!
you are making me liking more games besides jrpgs in a good way I been loving your channel for the last few months I hope you continue making awesome content

I always knew that Wario would wind up in Ancient Egypt.
To those that don't get the joke: Play Wario Land 3. It's good.
this game was one of my childhood games! (along with beyond good and evil)
i'm glad someone brought it up again, i always enjoyed the designed world of sphinx
I love it! This game was my birthday gift at 12 and played this on repeat for several months. Nice to see it getting some love!
1:54 What do you mean just in video games birds are cocky assholes in real life
I'll be buying this! I've always wanted to play an ancient Egyptian style game, and Assassin's Creed Origins is NOT GOING TO SCRATCH THAT ITCH
K-Rez AC Origins is one of the best games of this year without a doubt, also the game gets PC port November 10
This is a great game, I haven't played A.C. Origins, yet, so I can't compare them, but Sphinx and the Crursed Mummy is fun and a more unique style of gameplay than most games released 2day :)
K-Rez serious sam
i played this game as a kid and god i still adore it, glad to see people still doing previews of this game, thanks now im gonna play it again on an emulator
Wow this looks really good! Out of all games I've been watching you play, this might be the one I will actually play
Always up to watch some Daryl Hall videos
SMarchioni Clever!
its because the main character is really lame looking. but based on this review i'm definitely interested in giving it a shot
Oh boy,we can expect a boundy break episode of this.
if the main character had a better design and the game had a better name Im sure it would have sold more
+Shesez to be brutally honest that's theFIRST thing I thought when I saw this games cover hahaha
If anything this game is definitely a testament to why you shouldn't judge a nook by its cover!
Never judge Tom Nook by his cover. (
Same here. They coverart in stores looked corny to me.
OH. MY GOD. I can’t believe you covered this game!!! It’s one of my all-time favorites, I replay it at least once a year! 😍🔥
I was obsessed with this game as a kid! Played multiple times. Needs a sequel!!! 🤩
_"This game did not sell well"_
*Recalls seeing numorous copies at multiple video stores as a kid*
huh
This really is a great gem of a game. Sans the Geb Queen. Forget the Geb Queen in a fire.

This channel is so good. Shocked when I didn't see the 1M sub, u deserve that many subs man 👌👏👏👏
This is one of my all-time favorites. I played through at least 20 times.
Don't you just hate cliffhangers?
But the wait for another Nitro Rad video won't be such cliffhanger.
What do you mean?
Well the girl with the blue hair (channel icon) is the "Nana" in "Nana-Kyoto" (just in the "casual" outfit I designed)
As for the channel banner, that is an original character (only in her "slim" form) and for thumbnails, she is in her "thick" form.
Does that answer your question?

question are u ever gonna review psychonauts?
It would be cool if he reviewed the original Xbox version. Since Psychonauts was originally meant to be an Xbox exclusive.
@Unshaved Ballsack The PS2 version isn't as good as the Xbox/PC version.
@@nintyfan1991 what's weird is if you buy the game on steam its the PS2 version
such a good game i really enjoyed the vast majority of it.
One of my favorite games from my childhood. I used to play it with my grandma because she loved it too 😅
THANKS SO MUCH NITRO RAD THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD, YOU JUST GOT A SUB
The XBOX version is now Backwards Compatible on XBOX One. Can also get it at the XBOX store.
nitro got his braces off, looks great man
I still have my copy, it's nice to see people still appreciate this hidden gem, I found out about this game in a ad in a PlayStation magazine and it interest me and it had a demo disk too, after that I bought and fell in love with it, and your right, the game does look good for it's time, and I feel like it's one of those games that's re-playable...well when I try to speedrun it. XD
I love Egypt's mythology (even going so far as to read all the books in my middle school's library, lol) So for this to be uploaded on my birthday is really cool 😊
NITRORAD YOU NEED TO REVIEW SPARK THE ELECTRIC JESTER !
*Yes.*
(And Freedom Planet too.)
Nitro Rad appreciation comment!
Always, my friend! I still remember the first time I saw he did: Voodoo Vince! What about you; what game was he playing when you started liking him?
so happy you finally did a review for this. I love this game.
The bodily harm game mechanic reminds me a lot of the Wario Land's game mechanic's, where in order to access certain areas or puzzles Wario would have to get hit by a certain enemy to transform himself. This game is clicking to so much niches that I'm actually interested in picking it up on Switch.
You've probably been asked this a million times but, psychonauts review?
When do you review Kameo?! :/
Nirvanes
YOOOO!!!
Kameo was such a good game!
Kinda stupid in the controls department but a great game overall! All of the forms have there own uses! Ash is great for taking out a ton of people as well as healing yourself after getting the inferno move. Thermite is great for traversal. Deep blue was used for water segments. Flex was great for taking out enemies quickly with little risk. Pummel weed was great when you had slowed down time.
Sorry I'm rambling... Good game though!
OMYGOD! IM SO HAPPY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS GAME! It was one of my favorites growing up :D
I’m only 19 years old so it’s rare that i get to say this type of thing, but i grew up on this game! It’s FANTASTIC. SO much nostalgia here. I just purchased it on steam for 3.97$!!!! Absolutely underrated and needs so much more attention.
