It fits the mood of the environments and it's what you'd expect from visiting exotic locales. The music also stands out on it's own as a sort of 'Egyptian New Age'. In any case, It's stuff that is worth making a soundtrack cd out of. Overall, after finishing this game I was left with wanting more. I didn't want to leave and if you're an Egyptian buff to any extent, this game is certainly worth a look.
Atmosphere drives the game forward.
You can walk right up the snake's body up to it's head. Standing before one of the seven wonders of the world. The Great Sphinx Beautiful landscaping as you come out of the Lost Temple of Ra. Note the 4 statues.
