 The worst game yet for the Wii, avoidDec 11, 2007
By N. Durham
"Big Evil"
Anubis II has a budget price for a reason. This is above all the worst game to see the light of day for the Wii yet, thanks to it's unresponsive controls, ugly visuals, boring gameplay, and a grating soundtrack all combine to help Anubis II claim the aforementioned title. You play as the savior of ancient Egypt, or something, in what would otherwise be called a platformer. As anyone who has played a video game in their life will know, jumping is key to any platformer, which Anubis II attempts to use with the Wii-mote and nunchuk, and this is where the game fails the most. Raising up the nunchuk barely works (and in some cases, it just doesn't), while the tedious combat illustrates the game's broken controls and boring gameplay all the more thanks to just plain bad movement. As far as the game's graphics go, the Wii is far from a technical powerhouse, but Anubis II looks like it was emulated from a first generation PS1 platformer. In case you haven't gotten the idea yet, Anubis II is by far and large the worst game to hit the Wii yet, and should be avoided at all costs.

This is absolute garbage. Unable to even play the game and control the character. The developers should be ashamed to have released this.

Horrible, game, horrible developer support!Jan 14, 2008
By M. Biddle
"websiteworld_com"
Despite the fact we own about 18 Wii titles and 90 Gamecube game titles, this game is the only one that will not play on 480p mode on our HDTV. All the other games work, this one you get a scrambled HD signal.
We contacted the developer and the game and never received a response. If I were a retailer I would steer clear of selling products from this game developer!

PASS ON THIS GAMENov 15, 2009
By Margaux Paschke
This game was on sale ($9.99) and looked very interesting. My sons love all things Egyptian especially mummies, scorpions and anything else with a high creep factor. After looking it over, I thought this game would be a steal.
After playing the game a couple of times, it was easy to figure out why it was so cheap. The controls are horrible! It was frustrating for all of us to maneuver Anubis around. As for the actual game - it got tired quick.
Save your money and pass on this game. The concept is cool but the game is not. Although, my youngest did laugh himself silly as we made Anubis unintentionally fly around. It was not as much fun for the rest of us.

Second worst game on the Wii...Nov 29, 2010
By Marshall Carter
"Ornery Gamer, Fiend Club Member"
Of the Wii games I've played to date, Anubis II is locked in as the 2nd-worst game on the platform (to date). The only reason it isn't the worst is due to another Conspiracy Entertainment-published (and Data Design-developed) nightmare titled Ninjabread Man, truly one of the worst games ever published on any platform (which incidentally is nearly a carbon copy of this game, same engine, same music, same godawful controls, you get the picture). How this game was ever given the go-ahead is beyond me. The visuals are dismal, the music and sound effects are poor and mind-gratingly repetitive and the controls, if you want to call them that, surpass being merely unresponsive rendering the game largely unplayable. Like Ninjabread Man, there are no production values to see here. Menus are plain, there's no attempt to flesh out any storyline outside of the manual and the music has to be what's playing in the elevators of hell.
I can't stress this enough: AVOID ANUBIS II LIKE THE PLAGUE! Avoid ANYTHING developed by Data Design and take a good long look before you buy anything published by Conspiracy Entertainment. Publishing "games" like this is what made the market crash in 1984 and it's currently hurting the Wii software library as shovelware is a dime a dozen. I really wish Nintendo would bring back the old Seal of Approval and take a look at the games being released before allowing them to be published. There's no way Anubis II or its ilk would ever see the light of day if Nintendo would exercise a bit of quality control like they used to. What I'd really like to know is how games like this get a pass, but others like Xenoblade/Monado are overlooked for Stateside release.
