  • Summary: Indiana Jones as he travels to 1935 China to prevent a powerful artifact from falling into evil hands. Indy's latest globe-spanning adventure takes you from the jungles of Ceylon and underwater palaces in Istanbul, to the deadly streets of Hong Kong and beyond. Racing against evil Nazis and the Asian underworld with mysterious, alluring partner Mei Ying, you'll leap, swim, climb and punch your way through exotic locales, fighting hand-to-hand combat from street brawls to martial arts battles.

    The addition of action elements to this adventure game really help keep it moving and exciting.

    My biggest gripes against the game are the tricky camera and the horrible and frequent swimming bits. The interface is also somewhat clunky interface but, outside of these three issues, I had a lot of fun.
  3. Edge Magazine

    Instant deaths, glitchy combat, uninspiring boss encounters and twitchy controls conspire to make this a below-par experience. If it wasn't for the occasional flashes of imagination and the familiarity and richness conveyed through the license then The Emperor's Tomb would be utterly forgettable. [May 2003, p.99]

    If you could save the game any time, i think the game would be to easy. I love the game... Have played it 3-4 times.

    Again, I would say Awesome! I agree that the no mid point saving is a hassel, but overall it's pretty cool.

    I would have given it a 10! But there is no way to save the game. You must play through a whole level (sometimes very frustrating fights) and if you die you must start from the start of each level. This is the one complain everyone has! Maybe Lucas can issue some patch.… Expand
