Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb Movie 6
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 7 out of 15
  2. Negative: 1 out of 15
  1. The addition of action elements to this adventure game really help keep it moving and exciting.
  2. A solid adventure title that features great graphics, nice atmosphere and excellent sound. However, poorly implemented controls and a tricky camera mar the gameplay.
  3. A fun and imaginative game that, while not particularly engrossing or challenging, will entertain and amuse quite well.
  4. 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.

    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.

    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]

    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]

    I loved this generation of gaming. Been revisiting a lot of these games recently. Emperor's tomb doesn't fail to impress. Getting to searchI loved this generation of gaming. Been revisiting a lot of these games recently. Emperor's tomb doesn't fail to impress. Getting to search for hidden treasure as Indiana Jones is amazing. It makes for an amazing platformer. The soundtrack is also great. Expand

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

    To put it short, the story is interesting, the soundtrack is perfect, the graphics great, the controls are fine. The only minus I found wasTo put it short, the story is interesting, the soundtrack is perfect, the graphics great, the controls are fine. The only minus I found was that Indiana's movements were sometimes "sudden" and not very smooth. Other than that it's a very entertaining game, even in 2015. Expand

    A very fun game (the fist fights kick much booty) but the lack of mid level saving drag it down.

    Horrible game. Commands doesn't work when you need. No save point available. Each stage you will need to find all guns again. NPCs increaseHorrible game. Commands doesn't work when you need. No save point available. Each stage you will need to find all guns again. NPCs increase attack combos but Indiana jones still has the same crap. Indiana jones and the Infernal machine was much superior than this horrible game. Sierra knows how to develope good games. Luckly The Coperative INC doesn't exist anymore. They didn't deserve to be realeasing games nowadays. I love Indiana Jones games, and played the Infernal Machine in the year 2000. This Emperor's tomb sucks in a way that I can't even explain.
