LEGO Indiana Jones

June 8th 2008 20:07
Released in the US on June 3rd, LEGO Indiana Jones has been a big hit in the gaming population. THe game is a great game for kids of all ages, but that doesn't mean that the game is just for kids. Anyone can find enjoyment out of playing LEGO Indiana Jones.

You can find the game in all sorts of game consoles, including Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, PSP , DS, and PC.

If you've played LEGO Star Wars, then you'll love the Indiana Jones version, as it's basically the same deal, except this time, there are more adventures this time. LucasArt put a lot more emphasis on solving puzzles and collecting keys that unlock the next area.




The LEGO Indiana Jones video game runs throught the first three Indiana Jones movies pretty close. There are a few segments where the storyline have been tweaked to better fit the title, but for the most part the game is going to be very similar to the movies, although there is a larger separationg between the video game and the movies in comparison to the LEGO Star Wars games.

With the Wii version of the video game, you'll use motion controls for the majority of the game, and with what isn't fully motion control, you can still get away with using the Wii remote. IE when you shake the remote, you swing Indy's remote, but you may be better off using the Z button to have Indy throw a few punches.


When playing through the storyline, you'll want to collect all the items that you can in order to help you solve all the puzzles. Make sure to dig up all the treasure that you can, so find the nearest shovel and decode the hieroglyphs. There are areas where you won't find treasure, so you just have to make sure to come back in Free Play to unlock more goodies.



LucasArt has thrown a few twists along the way. For example, Indy is scared of snakes and Willy is afraid of spiders, so when near them, you're going to have to change characters.

Play in Co-Op mode, Traveller's Tales, Free Play, and online LIVE play. Just make sure to check out all the cheats for LEGO Indiana Jones, as well as all the Xbox achievements for Indiana Jones.

I would definitely suggest renting and trying out LEGO Indiana Jones, espcially if you don't want to purchase it right off hte bat, but I think this is a great purchase for any gamer, especially those who were fans of LEGO Star Wars.

I love this series! Sure, it's exacly the same games all the way through, but at least they have a sense of humour. It's a nice change to play these tongue in cheek, friendly titles.
Nice work on the review!
