    I played this game on xbox and I think its great. The story isn't too good, but the game play makes up for it. Don't buy this game right away, but if you're interested rent. I really enjoyed it.

    Good story line and great hand to hand combat. A must for any Indy Fan.

    Now I love Indiana Jones just as much as the next guy, but this is just sad. Not to say I didn't enjoy myself, but it could have been so much better if the controls were improved. It feels clunky, confusing, and really holds it back from what it could have been.

  1. 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]
  2. Solid gameplay, spot-on voice acting, and a classic Indy story make this a must have title. [Sept 2003, p.40]
  3. Some people (myself included) just can’t stand games with graphics as choppy and visually butchered as this one.
