LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (Playstation 3, 2008)

After loving LEGO Star Wars I and LEGO Star Wars II, I didn't think they'd be able to make another LEGO game nearly as good. I was wrong. If you enjoyed the LEGO Star Wars games, you're going to enjoy LEGO Indiana Jones!

The gameplay is still simple and just as fun with the same premise as before. Puzzles are different with new challenges to solve. Graphics are just as good... but really, could you improve much on little plastic characters? Music from the game is taken from the Indiana Jones movies, so any fan of the movies will appreciate the soundtrack.

And parents, the game is kid friendly, so they'll be able to enjoy playing just as much as you.

Another incredible LEGO game! In-depth lengthy game with excellent puzzles, incredible attention to detail, a lot of free choice in how to complete it. You will be charmed by the cuteness, swept away by the nods to the movies, and still thoroughly challenged by the game itself. Get your multipliers early so you can rack up the points needed for other purchases.

A cautionary note - It is possible to select a team for replaying an area that will not be able to find/get to everything. I recommend getting Winnie (a high jumper whose scream breaks glass) and any character who throws explosives early on, and making sure your Indy is paired with one of them until you get the hang of all the character choices and puzzles.

This is a great family game. We laughed and enjoyed the family time together. It is a great game for the kids to play on their own. Very kid-friendly. Luv legos:)

Well i like this game cuz it is very easy to play and i love it cuz i can ply it with my kids. i really have nothing that i disliked about the game. i bought it cuz we own the star wars lego game before and i loved playing it.

I got this game for kid who is six years old and he loves it. The item was shipped quick, and in good condition will use him again if needed.

I'm a huge fan of the Lego Star Wars games. When I heard that Lego Indiana Jones was being released I had to give it a try. The game lived up to my expectations - tons of fun and just challenging enough to make you think.

Incredible graphics, definitely a step above Lego Star Wars.

The one thing I was slightly disappointed by is that this game seems to be quite a bit easier than Lego Star Wars as far as finding all the hidden bonus items throughout the game. But, it probably makes the game slightly easier for younger people to play.

This game is very much about being "almost." It is almost as good as the Star Wars versions. It's almost challenging. It almost fixes the drawbacks of the Star Wars games. But it's not quite there. It's a ridiculously fun game. And that's the important thing isn't it?

First of all, you can't help but compare it to LEGO Star Wars so I won't try. I'll call those the first games. Also, LEGO Batman is coming soon and I'll call it the next game. Personally, I didn't think this game could be that great without the Jedi/Sith characters. I was wrong. The addition of Indy's whip ability is great and has a lot of potential. I also like the "fix", "scholar/book" and "dig" abilities.

Another great addition to this version is the use of tools. For many of the abilities that used to require special characters you can now pick up tools (nooks, hats, etc.) to let other characters perform the task. This adds variety to the puzzles and forces you to make use of everyone at your disposal.

Speaking of puzzles, I like the new variety. It also seems the puzzles are more integrated with combat, such as stealing enemy hats instead of putting on a stormtrooper mask with a machine. there also seems to be an increase in the puzzles requiring two or more characters to solve. The computer AI is very functional at these tasks. I did find myself grabbing my second controller and manipulating both characters at once a few times but it is rare. For the most part the computer character will go or stay as needed in context with what you are doing. But it won't help you solve the puzzle if you are lost. For some puzzles I could have used the help, but I like having to sink or swim on my own.

How can I need help with puzzles on a kids game? Yes, it is made for kids to have fun playing. But more than that I think it is a game made for kids to have fun playing with their parents. Most of my trouble was either in the wrong character choice, or not getting a character to do what I wanted. A few times I forgot about some characters' abilities. Kids should have no trouble playing through story mode provided they can read and have a decent memory along with some problem-solving skills. Playing alone, I think the average 9-year old would probably do well. Younger than that will need some guidance. I don't see most kids having the dedication to earn 100%. That's where the adult fun comes in. And that is also where it gets significantly harder.

Just like the first games, each main level has a free play mode you can access after beating it in story mode. You can use multiple characters and this is how you collect all of the "Artifacts" and "Red Parcels". These are like minikits and red bricks from LEGO SW, respectively. The Parcels are cheats that make the game easier and sometimes funnier. I haven't gotten everything yet and it will be a while before I do. Especially since a large portion of the game is spent smashing the same things in different ways.

In summary, this is a fun game with different levels of difficulty depending on your age, skill and dedication. For fans of the series (LEGO games, or Indy) it will be entertaining. Like most sequels it has improved on some shortcomings from the first games, but has created some of its own. Will the next one (Batman) be any better? Probably not. My highest geek level is Star Wars. Indy comes in a close second and Batman far below. Maybe the games will all be great and it's my opinion of the subjects that is waning...

The second installation in the Lego series has much in common with the original (Star Wars): good, clean family fun; lots of 'replayability'; plenty of characters to unlock and items to collect; and Han Solo.

Han Solo?!

Yes, Han is an unlockable character in the Lego Indiana Jones Trilogy, but he's not the only one. Unfortunately, the unlockable characters have very little use in this game, unlike the Ghost of Obi-Wan, et al., in the previous installment. In fact, the secrets and cheats in this game are nearly useless, even if they do add a little more flavor to the game.

Like Lego Star Wars, the Indy game has plenty of puzzles to keep you guessing, lots to explore, and various character types to choose from. Also like Star Wars, Indy is buggy. Count on resetting more than once or twice because necessary items disappear, seagulls don't fly right, and any host of problems. The good thing is, you don't normally mind playing a level over (in fact, these games are designed so that you play each level at least twice).

Minor problems aside, this game has that elusive fun factor that many better-designed games sorely lack. Once you get used to the somewhat wonky control scheme (which way do I jump, so I don't fall into the pit for the fiftieth time?!), gamers of any skill level can beat the game and have a whole lot of fun doing it. These Lego games are a great way to bond with the kids or spouse - you'll find yourselves talking about it and thinking about playing again throughout the day.

Five stars out of five, with the aforementioned caveats (bugs, controls, nearly pointless secret characters and levels).

This game is so cool. There are levels that actually took me a long time to find the secrets and suprises, unlike lego Star Wars. All the charachters can fight, you get to use guns, and if you know the Indians Jones series at all, you can laugh along with the mini-movies as you progress in the game.
It's cute, it's fun, what more could you ask for in a video game? Lego Star Wars improved from one game to the next and this game is an improvement over those.
I paid an amazing price, under $10 retail and I didn't have to wait in line or put my name on a list if it was backordered.
The levels can go long so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to play a level.

I purchased this game for my son and he's really a big Indiana Jones fan. The game play is pretty good and the game seems to be a good source of Summer entertainment. I really enjoy the candid humor within the episode of the game. They are very funny and well done. The only drawback to this game is that the new movie isn't included. It's probably a marketing gimick so a new game can be sold in another years time.

AWSOME GAME ... LOTS OF FUN .. EASY TO PLAY WITH THE KIDS .. VERY COMICAL .. LUKE SKYWALKER HAS A CAMIO ... CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 2ND ONE TO COME OUT ..................................

I prefer allways cooperative games for play with my granddaughter (9 years old now).
LEGO games for PS3 can be played with two players at the same time in cooperative mode. Very good entertainment with kids.

Alright, this game gets old pretty fast but its great if you have about 15 dollars to spend and your looking for a game that will kill some time. Its also a really fun game to play with more than one person. Just don't spend more than about 15 bucks though because its not worth more. Hopefully this helped!

Everything went well! Received it quick, in great condition. Very pleased. Price was great too.
100 characters, 100 characters, 100 Characters, am I there yet?

Game is a great learning tools for kids. Even my 3 year old can play, as long as I am playing with him.

sorry i took so long to write back.... but the game was in excellent condition... will definitely buy again

As far as Lego games go this is the worst. The control is terrible. It may be tolerable if you play single player, as Jones is the only character thats worth a dam. If you like Lego games stick to Lego Batman or play this one first so you wont be disappointed. dsam that was cold blooded!!

I really like this game for my grandkids they have injoyed it from the moment we got it. If your a lego fan I think you should get it.

I picked up this game based on the Lego name which I figured would be easy enough for smaller children so it should be easy enough for me too, and old man in his thirties. I don't have a ton of time to dedicate to getting really good at shooting lightning fast aliens. I look for games that I can play a couple of hours a week and not worry about getting fast enough at or remembering all the button combinations. This is one of those games, there are puzzles to solve and things to figure out so it's interesting, it's got a clever story line, and it's a good distraction from the actual work I should be getting done.

I'm not a big gamer, but I love this game! Definitely a challenge. There's a lot to this game, with plenty to un lock as well. There are several different levels, characters, abilities, weapons, maps, etc. to keep this game interesting for a long time. Our 4 year old son loves this game as well. From time to time we need to help him get through the more "difficult" parts, but other than that, he plays this game pretty good for a 4 year old.

This is a really fun game and it's worth it. This is one of the best games out of the Lego video game series.

Il n'est pas trop compliqué, il est divertissant. Je m'amuse vraiment avec mes jeunes garcons et ce jeu

The lego series of games are tons of fun and one of the few games that all ages seem to enjoy playing. There isn't really anything special about the Indiana Jones version, but kids like some variety, and it does provide that. My kids are 14, 9, and 7 and all love these lego games.
