Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a third person action-adventure video game inspired by the mythology of Ancient Egypt for the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube consoles. The game was developed by Eurocom and published by THQ. It was released on November 10, 2003, in North America and on February 20, 2004 in the PAL region. A mobile version was released on August 19, 2004.

In Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, the player falls into the role of a demi-god, Sphinx, and the undead corpse of Tutankhamen. Sphinx's role is one of a brave warrior who battles fearsome monsters and relies on raw power to complete tasks. Tutenkhanmen, also known as the Mummy, revolves around puzzle-solving and logical thinking to outwit his foes.

An original 3D platform game inspired by Egyptian mythology, Sphinx involves players in an epic quest to find the ancient crowns of Egypt. Played from a third-person perspective behind the eponymous character, the game has players interacting with hundreds of supernatural creatures while journeying across levels spanning the globe. Each region is linked together by magic portals, but in order to reach them, players have to solve puzzles, defeat bosses, and learn new abilities. The ultimate goal is to find and stop the nefarious plans of Set, the fabled Egyptian god of storms and chaos.

Using one of the save points in the Mummy section immediately following a particular cut scene can cause a door to be permanently sealed if play is not immediately continued in all three console versions of the game. This traps the player, preventing further progress with no way to reverse the action. This forces the player to start over from the very beginning of the game

STORY:
Sphinx, one of the main protagonists. He and his colleague Horus are given the task of retrieving the Blade of Osiris, a legendary sword. They are taken to Uruk, "the land of darkness", by their master Imhotep where they eventually find the Blade. Horus is attacked and supposedly killed by a deadly ray that protects The Castle of Uruk, a mysterious building that houses evil. Sphinx retrieves the Blade, but while trying to escape is also attacked by the ray. He is forced to travel to an unknown location through the use of a portal system.

TWO HEROES.

THEIR MISSION IS THE SAME. THEIR METHODS COULDN'T BE FURTHER APART.

Play as Sphinx, a head strong demigod.

Interact with hundreds of unique and imaginative creatures, enemies, and allies.

Control the Mummy when you need to rely on stealth and creative (and sometimes painful) puzzle solving to outwit your enemies.
