LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures Review

Generally, you're better off playing this one in co-op (no online co-op, I'm afraid), in which case you're liable to have fun no matter how high you set your standards as a gamer. After all, it is a LEGO game. There's even some replay here, though only for those who are keen on secret goodies and collecting various items along the way. Chances are you won't collect all those Lego studs the first time around and there are numerous hidden goodies to snatch. For everyone else, it's likely to get a bit tedious after a while.

Back off, these are my Lego studs.

Can't seem to button-up my shirt.

When all's said and done, it only seems fair to note that LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is the best choice for parents who want to play a fun game together with their kids. What's more, collecting freaks should feel right at home. The sheer number of characters and unlockables will surely keep you busy and if you're ambitious and persistent enough to complete the Story mode and the Free Play mode (as well as getting all the Achievements), you'll find LEGO generally rewarding. If you're really determined, you could try completing 100% of the game's content (good luck). With all that, from an audio and visual standpoint, LEGO Indy is perfect. The brilliant music, cute sound effects, colorful ambiance and imaginatively decorated levels, all contribute to a pleasant in-game ambiance.

The only thing is that we were looking forward to more innovative elements, next to Indiana's unique abilities, swinging and climbing on ropes and such. The gameplay style is getting a bit stale at this point. Regardless, the game should be a part of your collection. It's an excellent way to unwind and have some fun with the amusing characters and hilarious dialogue-free cut-scenes.
