It's not as good as I thought it would be. - By: jay, 25 Sep 2008 
I admit I only played it for an hour, but I soon realised that it's not what I'd been lead to believe it is. It looks good, the graphics, even on the old PS2, being reallly good & clear, & the controls are responsive & good, but I just didn't take to it. One thing I didn't like is that you have to do the whole level before it autosaves, as it does in this game (you can't save manuallly at alll so can't just put it on for a quick ten minutes to kill a bit of time). I was reallly looking forward to playing this & after an hour was a bit disappointed. I think it is the ideal way to introduce younger children to action & role playing games though.
The Ultimate Adventure - By: F. B. L. Silva, 26 Aug 2008 
I have bought the previous LEGO games, so I kinda knew what to expect, but this game simply blew me away, this game is similar to the other LEGO games but at the same time it has a lot of new things, like cars, horses, bikes, & so, the levels are huge as usual. One thing that I reallly like about this game is the diversity of each level, there are not two equal levels. This is a game for alll ages, dont be folled by the LEGO title, this game has lots o puzzles to be solved & other many things to unlock.
This is one of those games that everyone should have on their collection, definatly a pearl on PS2.
For True Explorers.... - By: tallpete33, 29 Jul 2008 
I didn't rush out to buy this on release as I didn't think the Indiana Jones trilogy would make such a good game as Lego Star Wars:The Original Trilogy (LSW:TOT). Curiosity got the better of me & I bought it (for my daughter of course!) & have been boshing away at it ever since!
It follows the identical format to LSW:TOT i.e. 6 levels per film, story & free play mode with artefacts taking the place of mini-kits, finding & mailing parcels instead of red bricks. The excellent two-player drop-in drop-out mode is still there & works as good as ever. This can cause problems when exploring different parts of the screen or your co-player "accidentallly" gives you a right-hander, but arguments are alll forgotten when you complete the level!
You get a wide variety of characters - soldiers, diggers, mechanic, women (jump higher), thugees (mystical powers), professors (solve puzzles) & Short Round - for the tunnels! However, the vehicles aren't too exciting, old cars & bikes which you generallly have to repair yourself, but obviously the game makers where limited to what was in the films which set in the 40s & 50s! Graphics are ok, Indy looks great in his hat & coat & the Raiders soundtrack is there in alll its glory.
The weapon pick-ups are not brilliant (apart from the bazooka): brawling is often the more effective way to beat the enemies. Indy himself however is a great character to use - he often prefers to wrestle rather than punch which is slow but he does have the alll-important whip which gets a lot of use in traversing gaps & retrieving objects. Some of the boss battles are a bit strange - the Raiders battle by the plane was plain weird. You couldn't kill him by machine-gunning from point-blank range but only by holding up an anvil for him to punch three times! Other boss battles were a bit confusing too but overalll gameplay was very good.
Once you've completed the story mode, & you can repeat levels in Freeplay, things reallly pick up with alll the necessary characters (and unnecessary ones like Santa!) at your disposal & you can go after the elusive artefacts & mail those secrets in the red mail boxes for even more unlockables. It reallly is great fun & well worth doing, especiallly if you want to get 100%. Look out for the Star Wars cameo appearances too - if you're lucky you might find yourself getting a hug off Chewbacca in the Mos Eisley Cantina! Find alll five scenes & you can buy Hans Solo!
My top tips for this game are:
1) Save your money until you have completed Story mode, you can then spend it wisely in Freeplay mode. Don't waste your cash on the silly stuff or characters, save it for the "treasure x2", "treasure x4" etc (studs become worth double/quadruple their value etc) or "artefact locator". Most of the characters you will need become available for nothing once you have completed their level anyway.
2) The Bazooka Trooper is a useful character - he can blow up silver objects & doors but also has the uniform to get through army checkpoints.
3) Once you've purchased an extra, it isn't enabled by default (took me a while to sus this !). Once in the game, press Start, then Extras to toggle them on & off
4) Don't waste time struggling to get that high-up or locked up artefact in story mode, you probably won't be able to do it with the standard characters. Remember where it is & go back in Freeplay
5) The treasure bonuses work together i.e. if you enable Treasure x2 & Treasure x4 at the same time you will end up with Treasure x8 & the money (ok studs) fly in!
Very good fun, continuing from where Lego Star Wars left off but not quite as good for humour & variety overalll.
Batman next. let's just hope they don't start flogging the format to death.....
PS I've reviewed the guide on amazon too
Great Game - By: Spencer Barnett, 27 Jul 2008 Another winner from the makers of Lego Star Wars. Loads of characters to buy & puzzles to solve. My boys (9 & 7) love collecting artifacts & parcels to get powers & bonuses.
Indi-tastic!!! - By: Fantastic JDW, 04 Jul 2008 This is money well spent!
If you liked Lego Star Wars 1 & 2 then this is for you! Buy it! Play it! Keep playing it! By Christmas you still want to play it!
You can't go wrong on a game that reallly does not end & on the PS2 it is superb. I was going to get a PS3 but if this is the quality still being produced in sound, graphic & game play long live the PS2!!!
Creating your own Lego game characters is great as well. I made Mutt from the new film so I can have father & son running around with whips & guns. It is so good it even looks like him! To adda British cultural twist I made a David Tennent Doctor Lego character armed with a book to help solve the puzzles! Its that good & impressive!
Enjoy this neverending fun game. Roll on Lego Indiana Jones II: The new adventures!
