"This guy should of never made a Return"

INTRO
Here we go again, with another Indiana Jones Clone. That's what this game is pretty much about. You are an adventurer in a giant pyramid. It's your job to collect all the treasures, and explore every room. Trust me there are about 150 rooms, maybe even more so this is no small task to do.

GAME PLAY
This is pretty much obvious game play. It's one of those you either like it or hate it. The company had a good idea here, but ruined it with some small details. The controls are decent, move around and jump. Both buttons are jump buttons, trust me you going to be doing a lot jumping in this game. If you do not like jumping around like a rabbit, then you should avoid this game. The worse thing about this game is the falling. You fall of ledges too easy. If you jump and miss the rope, you fall and die, even thou you on the same level. Does this make sense? Normally you fall, get up and try the jump again, but not here. This is very bad idea, who ever came up with it. Also you must jump over creatures, or a good 90% of them. If you touch it slightly, you die. So you will be doing a lot of dieing in this game. Your weapons suck, you get to pick up one knife, and only use it one time. That's right a one-time deal. And you don't need to activate it, as soon as any creature touches you you lose the knife, and it dies. This is sure some bizarre game playing.

APPEARANCE
In my book this is pretty ok. Nothing to brag about or nothing that will blow your mind about. Just normal decent graphics. Basic detailed items and backgrounds. This is not a complicated game. Just the dieing a lot makes it hard. You have a map, which you can use to see at what room you are in the pyramid. I played this game with infinitive lives, but it got boring after awhile. This game is well presented; it just has some bad judgement ideas. They should have given the explorer some type of shooting weapon, and when you fall, not to die.

OVERALL
Like I said before this a decent game, but not something to go crazy over. If you like it good, if not, then there is plenty of other games out there to play. It's a shame, they had a good idea, but they messed it up. I can't give this game a high number, cause I didn't clear it, so four is generous.
