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. It will take more than just your trusty whip and pistol to avoid deadly traps and navigate through all the dangerous environments. Do you have what it takes to possess the mysterious "Heart of the Dragon?" [LucasArts]

Gamer's Pulse
The addition of action elements to this adventure game really help keep it moving and exciting.
Read Full Review >PC Gameworld
A fun and imaginative game that, while not particularly engrossing or challenging, will entertain and amuse quite well.
Read Full Review >GameZone
A solid adventure title that features great graphics, nice atmosphere and excellent sound. However, poorly implemented controls and a tricky camera mar the gameplay.
Read Full Review >ActionTrip
The game doesn't innovate the genre in any way, but it does provide long hours of fun gameplay for those of us who are fans of action-adventure games.
Read Full Review >netjak
The music, puts the game right up over the top giving it an epic theatrical feel that makes it a fun play every time.
Read Full Review >Game Chronicles
Manages to capture the spirit of the films and packs a ton of combat and action sequences into a good old-fashioned adventure game. The puzzles are mindless so check your brain at the door.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
While Emperor's Tomb has a few control issues that will take some time to get used to, the game's fast pace definitely makes for an interesting adventure.
Read Full Review >IGN
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.
Read Full Review >PC Gamer
Though it's no classic tale, Emperor's Tomb has both actioning and adventuring in spades, whisking you off on a gorgeous cross-continental tour of exotic locales. [June 2003, p.68]
Computer Gaming World
Provides solid 3D platforming action with some panache - and the occasional little graphics glitch. [June 2003, p.94]
GameSpy
Rather than approaching the controls from a PC-centric point of view, the developers seemed to be trying to graft the Xbox's analog stick control-pad system directly onto a mouse and keyboard setup.
Read Full Review >Maxim Online
Despite the occasionally clunky controls, Emperors Tomb does impress with its hand-to-hand brawls (Ms. Croft would be lost without HER weapons) and the free-range exploration allowed within each level.
Read Full Review >Computer Games Magazine
It gets the feel of the character right, and while the levels and controls can become annoying at times, most of the gameplay - particularly when fighting - is entertaining. [July 2003, p.82]
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]

S. D. gave it a9:
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.
TG W gave it a 7:
A very fun game (the fist fights kick much booty) but the lack of mid level saving drag it down.
T Rider gave it a 9:
Again, I would say Awesome! I agree that the no mid point saving is a hassel, but overall it's pretty cool.
C. M. gave it a 5:
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.
Jean B. gave it a 9:
Very good.
Josh G. gave it a 10:
Indiana Jones rules!!!
