This game was on sale ($9.99) and looked very interesting. My sons love all things Egyptian especially mummies, scorpions and anything else with a high creep factor. After looking it over, I thought this game would be a steal.
After playing the game a couple of times, it was easy to figure out why it was so cheap. The controls are horrible! It was frustrating for all of us to maneuver Anubis around. As for the actual game – it got tired quick.
Save your money and pass on this game. The concept is cool but the game is not. Although, my youngest did laugh himself silly as we made Anubis unintentionally fly around. It was not as much fun for the rest of us.
This is absolute garbage. Unable to even play the game and control the character. The developers should be ashamed to have released this.
Despite the fact we own about 18 Wii titles and 90 Gamecube game titles, this game is the only one that will not play on 480p mode on our HDTV. All the other games work, this one you get a scrambled HD signal.
We contacted the developer and the game and never received a response. If I were a retailer I would steer clear of selling products from this game developer!
Anubis II has a budget price for a reason. This is above all the worst game to see the light of day for the Wii yet, thanks to it’s unresponsive controls, ugly visuals, boring gameplay, and a grating soundtrack all combine to help Anubis II claim the aforementioned title. You play as the savior of ancient Egypt, or something, in what would otherwise be called a platformer. As anyone who has played a video game in their life will know, jumping is key to any platformer, which Anubis II attempts to use with the Wii-mote and nunchuk, and this is where the game fails the most. Raising up the nunchuk barely works (and in some cases, it just doesn’t), while the tedious combat illustrates the game’s broken controls and boring gameplay all the more thanks to just plain bad movement. As far as the game’s graphics go, the Wii is far from a technical powerhouse, but Anubis II looks like it was emulated from a first generation PS1 platformer. In case you haven’t gotten the idea yet, Anubis II is by far and large the worst game to hit the Wii yet, and should be avoided at all costs.
