The Rock brings the hack-and-slash adventure of his new movie to the Game Boy
Advance in The Scorpion King: Sword of Osiris. Can you smell what the Scorpion
King's cookin'?
In the game's all-new story, which takes place shortly after the events of The
Scorpion King movie, our muscle-bound hero must save his new bride from an evil
sorcerer leading an army of the undead. And you thought Stone Cold was tough.
Fortunately, this side-scrolling adventure from Universal Interactive does not
dwell on boring stuff like plot, character and screen text, but plunges you into
an ancient world of deserts and crypts. In eight stages you will face off
against zombies, mummies, spiders and other creepy enemies.
You can wield a sword or a pair of scimitars at any time. The sword is more
powerful, but the cool-looking scimitars can reach farther. There are
appropriate times for each, so mixing up your weapons is a must.
Standard platforming elements dominate. To vanquish the undead, you'll need to
execute pin-point jumps, climb ropes and avoid treacherous obstacles like water
and quicksand. The controls and graphics are spot-on, so slicing through enemies
is a pleasure.
Like The Rock's glistening bod, The Scorpion King: Sword of Osiris is a
well-oiled entertainment that will appeal to fans of unvarnished action.
