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.

The game has received overwhelmingly negative reviews upon release, including a 1.5/10 rating from Gamespot, the second worst score it is possible to receive with the new rating system (with the old one a game could get a 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or a 1.4 where now they go by .5's such as 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, etc.), and a 2/10 rating from IGN.

Many critics have called it a carbon copy of
Ninjabread Man , due to the identical music, gameplay and level layout, the same basic attacks, and enemies (as well as having most of the same bugs and glitches), because of the use of DDI's GODS engine.References
