Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures


Since I really enjoyed Lego Star Wars, I was pretty excited to see the release of Lego Indiana Jones. While the Lego video games don't necessarily have the greatest level design, I can't deny the fact I find these games incredibly fun. The fact that you can co-op through these games makes it all the more fun.

Indiana Jones was an excellent trilogy to bring in Lego format. Though since they've progressed with this stuff... I kind of want to see a Lego Aliens/Predator series; I think that would be amazing! Anyway, experiencing Indy in Lego format was great fun. Basically if you've gone through the Lego Star Wars stuff then you already know the name of the game. Playing the game in Story Mode can actually be pretty difficult, even for two people. Once you're done that you get the chance to go through the game in Free Play, and for me, this is where the game really shines. You get to use an array of different characters and you get to explore the maps for lost treasures and other hidden items. I don't know what it is about doing this, but I find it incredibly fun. I think the Lego games are a nice break from the usual fairly serious games I play like Half Life 2 or Mass Effect for example.

Some of the levels are a bit frustrating, but I've come to expect that when dealing with Lego developed games. They also hide some of these items very well, so they are quite a challenge to find. The hours of game play you get out of this makes it rather worthwhile in my opinion.

I really don't have much to say on this game other than if you've already got experience with Lego Star Wars, you know what to expect. If this is your first Lego game, don't get too frustrated, they don't make the puzzles completely obvious. In the end I had a lot of fun; however, I still wouldn't rank these types of games as the top games ever made. They're just a lot of fun while trying to get through them.Get more detail about Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures.
