Outline
Set in ancient Egypt, players control Anubis, the Guardian of the Underworld, in his quest to lift the Curse of the Pharaohs. Your journey will take you through tombs and catacombs in search of the Golden Pyramids of Power. The Nunchuk controls Anubis while the Wii Remote swings the Scepter of Ra and throws Kanopic Bombs.[3]
Story
Long ago, an evil and twisted spirit known as Mumm'hotep plunged the Land of Egypt into Darkness. It was believed to be forever destroyed, but the evil spirit has risen again and taken physical form. A 'Pharaoh's Curse' has been placed over the fastest, strongest and most poisonous of Egypt's inhabitants and is holding his once peaceful civilization in its hands. The situation has become so terrible that the Gods have called on the only warrior that could rid the sands of these evil monsters and return peace to Egypt...The mighty Anubis. The hero of the Egyptians, Anubis, embarks on his quest to save Egypt from the Curse of the Pharaohs.
Reception
The game has received a 1.5/10 rating from Gamespot and a 2/10 rating from IGN.[4] The Wii version of Anubis II was also nominated for Flat-Out Worst Game of 2007 by Gamespot.[5] Many critics have called it a carbon copy of Ninjabread Man, due to the similar music and gameplay.
