Video Game Reviews of Mummy / Frankenstein Bundle (Jewel Case)
Customer Review: I picked this up one day...
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember when I got this game, how I was trying to decide which one to play first, but they are both alike in many ways; the gameplay, the theme, and also, unfortunately, the fact that many events repeat themselves in the games, like running from place to place. These games are both good for fans of adventure games with a handful puzzles, and/or who are interested in games based on old classic monsters/monster movies. The only problem was that both games require endless amounts of running around to find one item or thing, go back to where you were before, and see if that is even the right place to go. You can explore where you want when you want, if the story or timeframe allows it at the time, but even that requires loads of time of focusing on one small puzzle or item. Frankenstein was good in a sense that it was sort of creepy and had me wondering why I was doing what I was doing (collecting materials for an experiment, while wandering around through creepy tunnels, a castle, and the infamous maze of everliving secret passage ways, which took forever to get out of.) I enjoyed that Tim Curry was in it, and his character is an interesting one; the acting was good, but I enjoyed it just because I enjoy him in general. I still think I prefer this one over the Mummy, despite the fact they are really sort of tied with each other (for me) because I find both amusing. The Mummy is a bit differernt in the fact that you have more open space to run around (I mean that literally) and solve puzzles, as well as exploration of places like tombs (the obvious), old WWII bases that are linked to the mystery, and underground passageways. But also, that there are more characters to talk to, and some of which have a greater impact on the storyline. But so many locations leave you scratching your head at what to do next. I used walkthroughs on both games because of the endless search for one small item to continue the storyline, although it made more of a difference if you knew what was even going on. For example, someone goes missing and you are trying to search for them, but can't go to *insert location here* because it's locked, stuck, or you have to solve yet another run-around-and-search puzzle to access it. Setting the negative points aside, and, despite the fact there are some (they didn't really bother me at all) this game is still quite addicting in the sense that running around is not always a bad thing (quite suprising). It can become creepy at times, or sometimes gruesome (especially in Frakenstein). It is not always shown; it leaves the horror up to your imagination when it comes to gruesome points in the game, although I still enjoyed that. It made the game's point seem darker and more interesting when completeing one certain part of it. Both games make you decide on split-second decisions, and if you aren't fast enough you will face demise, and sometimes in a makes-you-wonder sort of way, but that's just me. I remember I played them both so much, that's all I could think about; how to complete the next section of the game(s). I played the Mummy so much that I couldn't sleep because of the constant drum beats in my head that never stopped (those are usually the background music tracks). If you like adventure games with monster-themed backgrounds, and yet are aware of the lengthy searches for answers, this game may appeal to you. There is always something there for you to look for, something you almost can't grasp...
