Anubis II is a game for the Wii.
Story
Long ago, an evil and twisted spirit known as Mumm'hotep plunged the Land of Egypt into Darkness. Many had thought was forever destroyed, but the evil spirit has risen again and taken physical form. A 'Pharaohs Curse' has been placed over the fastest, strongest and most poisonous of Egypt's inhabitants and is holding his once peaceful civilisation 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. You must take control of Anubis, as he embarks on his quest to save Egypt from the terrifying Curse of the Pharaohs! Along his journey, Anubis will encounter deadly locusts, snapping stone statues, maniac mummies, skeletons and many other monsters from both the Egyptian Underworld and living inhabitants possessed by the evil spirits. Can Anubis overcome the test that has been placed before him and bring peace back to Ancient Egypt…only you hold the power to succeed!
Gameplay
Similarly to Ninjabread Man, players control Anubis through the Underworld of ancient Egypt to complete levels. The Nunchuk allows Anubis to move and jump while the Wii Remote is used to swing the Scepter of Ra and throw Canopic Bombs.
Reception
Upon release, Anubis II received severely negative reviews. It received a 1.5 out of 10 from GameSpot which was, at the time, the second worst score to receive with the new rating system. Additionally, GameSpot nominated Anubis II for Flat-Out Worst Game of 2007. IGN gave the game a 2/10.
Anubis II was derided by critics for being too similar to Ninjabread Man, another game by Data Design Interactive that received a similar, though much more vehement reception due to the similar music, gameplay, level layout, attacks, and enemies.
