Unfortunately, the game isn't always a first-person blaster in that it uses other elements, too, such as a game-within-a-game motif that includes a surfing exercise requiring the hero to jump or duck obstacles while riding a log down an underground river. This nice feature allows him to look down at a pit when his back is against the wall, without requiring you to have to continually adjust the perspective. The camera floats just over and above Rick's shoulder and has a built in 'quick swivel' that moves so he's always facing away from any wall or object he's against. When he lights or douses a torch, the lightning in each area adjusts appropriately.
In terms of graphics, Rick O'Connell's face is mapped onto the figure, although he's a bit blocky, and he sports incredibly muscle-bound proportions that aren't evident in the movie. Since the movie focused mainly on Rick O'Connell blasting away at things with lots of guns, though, the game lends itself well to the first-person shooter genre. It could be argued that the game is mostly a Doom remake with skins that happen to be Egyptian in appearance. The Mummy is a straightforward reenactment of a two-fisted adventure, straight from the movie starring Brendan Frasier - at least the fighting parts.
