Yes, after a looooong time I just thought that this game deserves a small recommendation / review!

This game is one of my longest dreams that came through. A game where you can be a true adventurer as the famous Quatermain (or Indiana Jones if you want) and this in a Ego-Shooter. What the ♥♥♥♥; is that kinda cool? Really? Adventuring in a Ego-Shooter?
YES, that is possible. The Farm 51 developing team has made a great game with that. You have brilliant graphic moments (Unreal Engine 3), but of course there are also some bad graphics in there. But hey, nevermind. The important part is that you have really AWESOME PUZZLE moments here. Some of 'em are tricky, lots of 'em are "normal" but funny. The dialogs between James Quatermain and Jennifer Goodwin (your female partner) are funny and make you feel you're just right here - within the awesome temples and pyramids. ;)
So, if you love lots of puzzles, adventuring and of course Ego-Shooter then you have to try this game. :)

Pros:
» lots of puzzles (easy and hard / before you can choose the difficulty for puzzles)
» awesome atrmosphere with pyramids, temples and other "Egypt stuff"
» nice graphics with the Unreal Engine 3 - the most time
» funny dialogs
» well-done mixture of adventuring and Ego-Shooter
» long-driven story ( I played the whole game with adventuring moments 17 hours^^)

Cons:
» shooting moments are boring and not challenging
» some graphics bugs
» at the beginning the controls are a bit complicated
» The multiplayer part is a waste of time


Tell me what you think about this game if finished! :)

pretty good ,but multiplayer sucks a bit , but overall it was O.K.

I agree with everything, except that I found the multiplayer to be decent. However, probably because I am a sucker for shooting people in the face AND making them fall into a pit and have spikes on their face.

I honestly thought the game looked quite beautiful most of the time. It does use the Unreal 3 engine to good effect and having just completed the game I seriously agree that the game is awesome fun (not sure what the critics where smoking when they reviewed the title). It's especially fun for those that grew up loving Indiana Jones and enjoying The Mummy movies from the late nineties.

Nice review, I played this game and I agree with some of your points, the game got funny dialogs and jokes in it and pretty cool characters, I disagree on the nice graphics though, I mean they are not really bad but I wouldn't call them "nice" either, its 2013 almost 2014, plenty of games with MUCH better graphics, also I compare the price, the game is quite expensive, atleast on steam, and its not THAT great, I would say its a decent 15-20 dollar game, not worth more cause the gameplay mechanics are weird, the shooting as you mention are boring, and to me graphics are not that great for a 2013 game and I really doubt the multiplayer will last long at all, and singleplayer last about 15 hours which is quite good. Overall good review though and it all just comes down to opinions anyway.
