You'll wish it had stayed dead August 4, 2008 - by Ian Bogost To promote Universal Pictures' new film The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, the studio created an advergame, Chariot Chase Down Game. Go ahead and play it. It's almost as good as the film, which garnered an impressive 9% on Rotten Tomatoes. Comment from miketreanor on August 4, 2008
Wow... I was subjected to the preview for this movie so many times (for various reasons out of my control) and ... well... yeah. I wish it had stayed dead. However, as far as I can tell this is a different Asian mummy this time! When the second level started I laughed out loud. Comment from Win on August 4, 2008
I did not find the game, itīs a pity. I havenīt seen the movie but it seems really good, I like Jet lit and the argument is really good too. POST A COMMENT
