Based on the feature film starring Brendan Fraser and Jet Li, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor continues the adventuring of Rick O'Connell, his wife Evelyn, their son Alex, and Evelyn's brother, Jonathan. The group must stop a shape-shifting Chinese mummy and his minions from enslaving the world. The video game adaptation is viewed from a third-person perspective as players take control of either Rick or Alex O'Connell while advancing past catacombs, tombs, and across the snowcapped Himalayans. Not only will players have to successfully navigate their way through dangerous environments, they must also engage supernatural enemies and boss characters trying to thwart their progress. Characters can perform both melee and ranged attacks with an assortment of weapons. Decoding hieroglyphics and solving puzzles along the way can also unlock hidden treasures and rooms.
