Based on the successful summer movie, Universal Interactive's The Scorpion King has just shipped for GameCube and PS2, to coincide with the movie's DVD/VHS release. The game was developed by Point of View Software and combines sword-swinging combat with 3D adventuring gameplay. The Rock, star of the movie, provided voice acting for the game.

"For the first time ever in a console game, fans of the Rock have the opportunity to play as the star in his first leading role as an action- adventure hero," said Nicholas Longano, general manager of Universal Interactive. "'The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian' video game successfully recreates the energy of the movie by providing non-stop action via fierce hand-to-hand and weapon-based combat."
