Moses: Prince of Egypt is a video game released for the PlayStation in 2000, and published by Midas Interactive. While there is a variety of mini-games targeted for young children, the game has the peculiarity of having more of a cinematic feel, rather than playable portions. This game is part of PlayStation's Value Series.
Plot[]
Long time ago a cruel Pharaoh ruled Egypt. The people of the Israelites were allowed to live in Egypt, but he treated them like slaves. As the Israelites began to resist, he ordered to kill all newborn babies. But one child survived. His mother had marooned him it in a little basket on the Nile. The Pharaoh’s daughter found the baby and took it with her. She called it Moses. And so Moses became the prince of Egypt. When Moses was a young man, the spies of the Pharaoh found out the truth about his origin. Moses fled to the desert. There the God of the Israelites spoke to him: "you are chosen to lead your people out of Egypt." But how Moses should do this? The Israelites only knew him as the prince of Egypt, the grandson of the Pharaoh. Why should they trust him?
Reception[]
The animated feature included, like most of the Dingo Pictures ones, released by Midas Interactive and Phoenix Games, has been widely panned for its cheap-looking animation, awkward-sounding English dub, irritating characters, and misplaced music. It's also considered, along with the box art, mainly a rip-off of Dreamworks' Prince of Egypt.
