5.0 out of 5 stars Solid: Great Game For All, June 6, 2008

This review is from: Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (DVD-ROM)
LEGO Indiana Jones is a sweet game. Of course, this is in line with the LEGO Star Wars (LSW) series that kicked us off. Also, this release coincides with the movie release, just like the Star Wars series.

There are really three aspects of these LEGO video games that apply: ease of play (all ages), strategy, and hilarious humor. LEGO Indiana Jones (LIJ) definitely hits these aspects up - such a fun game.

If you have played the LSW series, you are familiar with the basic controls: four buttons for action, jump, attack, and special. When in Free Play mode, you use the character switch button as well. Same concept here. So easy a child can play and enjoy it, but therefore good for adults as well!

The strategy is more for the older kids (ages 10 and up), I think. The strategic elements of the game are primarily in the Free Play mode, such as deciding which characters to use for which scenarios. Also, a youngster may not fully comprehend the...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Indiana Jones Lego PC Game Review, June 10, 2008
A Kid's Review
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (DVD-ROM)
I'm 9 years old and this is my first review. I have the game for Windows XP on a 3 year old laptop and had no problems installing it. I think Lego Indiana Jones is a great game. You can do more things than in Lego Star Wars. For example, you can pick things up and use them like dynamite, shovels, wrenches, and books. Also you can disarm people with your whip, and take the weapon they have from them. The only bad thing about Lego Indiana Jones is that it takes a while to load the scenes. I would highly recommend for anyone who likes a challenge and that enjoyed Lego Star Wars. But it is different in many ways than Lego Star Wars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another FANTASTIC Lego Game!!!, June 10, 2008

Wow, this is another amazingly well done Lego game! Although I have the Star Wars games for the Gamecube and have played them on the Wii, I decided to try the new Indy Lego game on the PC, and I am REALLY glad I did. It installed with no problem and plays perfectly on my Vista SP1 Quad 2.4Ghz PC with nVidia 8800GTS and 4GB RAM. Connected to my 60" Sony HDTV, it looks and plays great, and the HD gaming at 1920 x 1080P just blows away the low-res 480P Wii. At about half the cost of the Wii game, this is quite the deal!

The game works just fine with two Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 game controllers. Setting up the button assignments in the setup screen is very straightforward and obvious; just copy the buttons shown in the manual for the XBox 360 PC controller. Only drawback is that you seem to have to assign the second controller every time you start the game (e.g. after a PC reboot/powerup), but it's a minor point.

My kids and I have gotten through the...Read more
