The third installment of Data Design's cheapo reskinnable platform game has an Egyptian theme and sounds like some kind of ointment for piles. Strangely, there was no Anubis 1. Okay...
It does look a little bit nicer thanNinjabread ManandRock 'N' Roll Adventures but that's due to the shiny gold colours rather than any superior design, and it suffers from the same shoddy controls as its partners in crime.
All three are small enough to keep running for a while without having the disc in the drive, and would have been better value bundled together or as cheaper WiiWare downloads.
