  • Summary: LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures takes the fun and creative construction of LEGO and combines it with the wits, daring and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures that enthralled audiences everywhere (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the original adventures, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones escapades through the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India. Fans can build, battle and brawl their way through their favorite cinematic moments, from Indy's entanglements with snakes to his dashing boulder run. Pop culture's most iconic archeologist whips through all the classic moments with the help of a host of supporting characters including Marion Ravenwood and Short Round. Players can also mix and match the body parts of more than 60 playable characters to create new heroes just as they could in the LEGO Star Wars games. [LucasArts] Expand

  1. LEGO Indiana Jones is absolutely worth playing, especially if you want to introduce young children to the series without scaring the hell out of them with the ending to "Raiders."
  2. Being an “achievement addict” when I first got my hands on the list, I was more-or-less drooling... OK, that was a slight over-exaggeration but they are one of the best achievement lists I have seen.
  3. Overall, LEGO Indiana Jones is a must have for any fan of the LEGO genre or of the Indiana Jones movies.
  4. In gameplay terms it represents a commendable improvement on an already solid framework and seems to captivate its young players with the same gently challenging grip o' fun as LEGO Star Wars did. It's just a shame that this evolution seems to have come at the expense of many of the peripheral activities that made the previous LEGO games a more robust and varied experience in the long term.

    I thought this game to be very fun. The puzzles were cool and playing Indiana Jones in a humorous perspective was a refreshing way to relive the movies. Lots of bonuses and replay value here. Collapse
  2. I liked the Lego Star Wars games, but with Indy, i don't think it was as good. First as much as i like the Indiana Jones films, the characters aren't quite as memorable. The gameplays good, although sometimes it's difficult to realise what your meant to do at some points. I think Lego Star Wars is the better choice, if you want a lego game. Expand
  3. I've only seen the Temple of Doom all the way through and that was after I beat and sold this game. This is a solid Lego title that even with out having seen any of the films is enjoyable. Expand
  4. It was fun with a friend playing the whole campaign with but on your own it's just not as fun and will get you bored, but play it with a friend that's when it get fun. Singleplayer 6/10 Multiplayer 7/10 Lego Indiana Jones 6.8/10 Expand
