 Most fun I've had with a game in agesJun 11, 2008
By James M. Walter
"James"
I'll keep this simple; I'm 26, a hardcore gamer and this is the first game in a long time to really put a smile on my face when I play it. The game is very deep and while it does have some very minor issues with the camera, it's all forgotten once you imerse your self in its 'lego land' of puzzles and cartoon humor. An absolute must play for any gamer, any age. One thing of note is that the game contains evry musical score from every Indiana movie - simply fantastic.

 Loads of funJun 15, 2008
By N. Durham

Traveller's Tales returns with another Lego-based game, this time focusing on the Indiana Jones franchise after conquering the world of Star Wars. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is exactly what the title implies: the original Indy trilogy in Lego form. Contrary to some of the reviews posted on here, if you've played any of the Lego Star Wars games, you'll feel right at home here. The gameplay itself is relatively simple, family friendly fun that nearly anyone can pick up and play. Co-op mode is where the real fun of Lego Indiana Jones is to be had though, and like Lego Star Wars before it, the game just has a sense of undeniable charm to it that you can't help but get some enjoyment in the very least out of it. It may not take you too long to breeze through the game though, but if you do, it is worth going back and playing again just to catch all the game's in-jokes and visual gags, along with a horde of hidden items and goodies as well. If there's any real flaws to the game, it's that the AI isn't all that good in terms of enemies and AI-controlled pals, but as a whole, Lego Indiana Jones is massively enjoyable. All in all, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures continues the tradition of wonderfully fun and family friendly games, and is definitely worth picking up for Indy fans or anyone looking for some good clean fun.

 Not quite up to expectationsJun 09, 2008
By C. Steen
After playing both the Lego Star Wars games and having a really great time with them, I was eagerly awaiting the release of this game. When it came out, I went to the store and rented it to see if it would be worth the money right now, or wait until it drops in price. Sadly, it ended up the latter.
So why will I wait until it's in the bargain bin? It's not the story; this game is filled with the quirky humor I enjoyed in the Star Wars games, plus who can hate a Lego-ized version of one of America's great heroes. It's not the graphics; they are very good, and look better than what I remember from the Star Wars versions. The music/sound are great; the music changes to let you know when you're being (or about to be) attacked, and the character 'vocals' are very funny. Playing co-op is a fun experience (until you start arguing with your wife over which way to go or who picks up what/assembles what things/etc.)
There's two reasons why I will wait: the controls and the level designs. The level designs are well presented, but they seem to drag on and on. Now, I normally wouldn't have a problem with this, because I enjoy playing through games and trying to get 100%. The reason I have a problem with them is because of the controls. The controls just don't seem to be very responsive. On some levels, you have to pick up and through items at your enemies. Not a problem...unless you need to be standing still, nothing else around where you're throwing it, and you're not getting shot at by 2-3 people. And that's IF you can manage to get facing the right way. The first level of Temple of Doom is a good example; I picked up the distraction, went to the guy to throw it at him, and had to run around and find just the right spot where the target would come up. Then I had to stand still or risk the target disappearing. Trying to whip an enemy from far away? Hopefully you hit them and don't whip the air just to the left or right of them. Also, don't get stuck dying in the wrong place, or every time you come back to life you'll just die again until you switch characters.
To be fair, I only played the first three levels of RotLA, the first level of ToD, and the first level of TLC. However, my wife managed to make it through the entire game and had the same complaints as me. This game is an enjoyable experience, and if the controls were better, I would definitely have rated this higher.

Fun Game for the FamilyJun 06, 2008
By Tony Dicostanzo
"BookPal"
Reading some of the negative reviews posted already, I felt compelled to respond with my support of this game. To all the reviewers who commented on the game's difficulty - my 5 year old son and I played this game together and he was able to negotiate through the first few levels we've played just fine (and he's not a hard core gamer!) The game has its moments where you have to 'look around' to figure out the next step, but I found the balance of straight forward jumping and fighting to be in good balance with problem solving - really no different than the Lego Star Wars experience. I bought the game to play with my son and pass on the affinity for Indiana Jones. It does that well and more. We have both enjoyed playing it so far. If you are looking for a good family game for the Xbox (they are rare) that extends the Lego Star Wars experience, don't hesitate picking this up. If you were getting tired of L.S.W., then this game will not excite you - just imagine Han Solo with a whip. There are some nice additions with the ability to pick up objects, etc that others have mentioned, but the games overall feel to L.S.W.'s is very similar, just not in space.

Potential UnrealizedJun 06, 2008
By jmmed
I realize that this isn't supposed to be a an epic game, and the target audience is for the younger crowd, but with the Indiana Jones license it draws all. And it fails with respect to Indiana Jones.
It plays like the Lego Star Wars games, same type of humor. There are some pretty clever jokes, like if you whip at marion, it draws her in and Indy gives her a kiss.
What I didn't like about it: It's too short. Each adventure is rather short with some locations that have had some artistic liberties with respect to the films. The controls. I keep getting the characters stuck either in one of the fan things, or really frustrating when I run the forklift into a ledge, the character sticks and I have to quit the game. I haven't had those type of control issues in a long time. The camera is bad, might as well not even use the other control stick. And no Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Released two weeks after the film, and I don't understand why it wasn't included.
What I liked about it: The humor. It's light and funny. The music! A lot of the original music is here!
I think that they missed the boat here. The Indiana Jones saga has been done before (the SNES version) and I think better. I'm hoping that the other Indiana Jones game in production is better.
I wish I had just rented this.
