In addition to Jurassic Park:Survival, Universal Interactive Studios also announced The Mummy Returns for the Playstation 2 at E3 last month. Inspired by the recently released film of the same name, The Mummy Returns will feature an action-packed plot with 3rd person gameplay and tight next-generation graphics. Developed by Blitz Games, The Mummy Returns is scheduled to ship to stores in late October.

Perhaps one of the most interesting features of the game is the ability to have the choice of either playing as the hero or the villain. Once you have chosen your path, you take control of either Rick O'Connell or Imhotep. When a player picks Rick's path, his goal is to rescue Alex, resuscitate Evy, defeat The Scorpion King and eventually save the world. His enemies include Imhotep, his living and undead allies, pygmy mummies and The Scorpion King.

Alternatively, if you choose Imhotep's path, his goal is to use Imhotep's magic and all the means available to raise up The Scorpion King, so he can take his army and rule the world. Imhotep's enemies are Rick, Ardeth Bey and his Medjai, pygmy mummies and The Scorpion King. To fight his enemies, Imhotep employs magic spells and hand-held weapons.

Here is a summary of the features we should expect courtesy of Universal Interactive Studios:

Bring the action and intensity of the most highly anticipated movie sequel to your PlayStation 2 with The Mummy Returns. Set in 1933, 10 years after the events of The Mummy, a band of treasure-hunters unearths the remains of the high priest Imhotep. Transported to London, Imhotep is resurrectedand once more embarks on his ruthless quest for immortality.
