Anubis II is a 2005 platform game by British developer Data Design Interactive. It was published by Conspiracy Entertainment in the United States for the Wii, PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows.

Anubis II received negative reviews from critics for being a copy of Ninjabread Man due to its identical music, gameplay, level layout and glitches.

Gameplay

Set in ancient Egypt, the player controls Anubis, the guardian of the Underworld, in his quest to lift the Curse of the pharaohs. The Nunchuk controls Anubis while the Wii Remote swings the Scepter of Ra and throws Canopic Bombs.
