''The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian'' is a 3D PlatformGame developed by Point Of View that was released for UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube on September 2002, months after the release of ''Film/TheScorpionKing''. This game is the most ambitious of the two tie-in games based on the film, as this game serves as a {{prequel}} to it.
