Very Enjoyable! - By: Craig Taylor, 22 Jul 2008 
Well what can I say, this is one of the most enjoyable games I have played on the PSP in recent years, don't get me wrong the graphics won't blow you away, but is very good fun.
The format is identical to the Lego Starwars games where two characters with different skills fight there way through each level.The levels are spread across alll three original films & are very charming following the films well. The levels can also be a tad challlenging in places where you must solve puzzles to gain access to bonus aress too.
The best aspect is by far the multiplayer action, where you can have a friend help you through the game.
Like the starwars games the game can be replayed again & again using different characters to find alll objects in the levels to unlock bonus areas.
After playing the game I can say that there isn't any bugs as of yet, so alll is well there.
I'd recomend this game to anybody who enjoyed the Lego Starwars games, general gamers & fans of Indiana Jones. It's a great game at a reasonable price too.
Real good fun! - By: B. WEIR, 21 Jul 2008 
If you compare this to the masterpiece of LEGO Star Wars (as people undoubtedly will) then it is unsurprisingly slightly disappointing. Whereas the PSP version of the benchmark that was the Star Wars game was almost identical to the console versions, Lego Indiana Jones has some minor niggles that don't appear in the larger versions. However, the game itself is strong enough to ignore these & experience a very good game.
Yes, the problems with the camera are noticeable, especiallly in the earlier levels, & there are other occasional problems, such as the "loops of death" mentioned in the other review, but if you look past these you can find an excellent & absorbing game.
The characters & music are spot-on in alll the levels, & once you disappear behind the headphones you can forget about everything else for a few hours. The brilliant stud-collecting & character-switching elements are as fun as ever, & there is plenty of replay value. I'm having great fun playing this game, & for fans of Indy & others alike, this will provide hours upon hours of excellent fun & a fantastic, movie-like experience.
Der der der der, der der derrrrr - By: S. Brockbank, 01 Jul 2008 As an owner of a PS3 & PSP, there were a few games I've been waiting for anxiously this year - GTA IV, MGS4 & strangely enough, Lego Indiana Jones.
Fortunately this has been released just in time for the summer & Big Brother. It means er indoors is happy watching the antics of a load of celeb wannabees, where as I can slip on my headphones & enjoy this baby.
So, first things first, you probably know by now it's a "sequel" to the Lego Star Wars game(s) & pretty much follows the same mould. There are 18 levels, 6 for each of the 3 original films (Raiders, Temple of Doom & Last Crusade) & each follows the story, interspersed with some quite funny videos to move things along from one bit to the next.
The basic idea is to play each level, to start with anyway, as two (sometimes more) characters that you can switch between. As you progress there are various puzzles to solve, hidden items to find & lots of fun to be had. As in the Star Wars games, you collect "studs" in various ways as you go which can be used to unlock extra abilities & even cheats. There's more of an emphasis this time on solving puzzles than there was in LSW, but none of them are too taxing - I suppose you could look on it more like a Lego Tomb Raider for kids.
Some of the characters have extra or special abilities & some have phobias - Indy himself has the use of the famous whip but is scared of snakes, women characters can jump higher but some of them are scared of spiders. To progress you often need to switch to the other character to do specifc task, like using Indys whip to swing accross a chasm, & in some cases both need to work together, for example when one needs to push an object with the other on top so they can reach a high ledge.
In adition, items can be found lying around which give your character special powers - having a spade means they can dig things up & having a spanner means they can fix broken machinery - & as in the previous game, you can pick up hats to act as a disguise & get you through guarded doors into special areas.
One you complete a level in story mode, it becomes available as free play which means you can use any of the characters you have unlocked so far to replay it. This opens up more areas & keeps you coming back to try & find that elusive hidden item or acheivement you just missed last time through. There are sorts of goodies to get including unlocking 3 whole extra levels & 50 acheivements to obtain.
Whilst the levels are probably slightly harder than in Star Wars, there is always plenty of help on the screen as to what to do & what to press next & it's usuallly fairly easy to complete tasks. Sometimes I found the perspective view a little difficult to deal with, especiallly as you have no control of the camera. Some of the areas in the levels are very big too, meaning there is sometimes a lot on the screen & it can be quite smalll & difficult to make out what is going on.
Generallly I would say the graphics are good - not quite as clear as in Star Wars & I find a little grainy in places. The sound is excellent, with the proper film themes playing in each level, as they did in the films. I've been told off for singing along without realising anyway...
Techincallly, it seems a few little bugs have crept in - I've found that I can often get stuck in a "loop of death" where your character dies but reappears in the same spot & dies again. Whilst there are no lives as such (you just loose some of your collected studs), it can be annoying. I've also managed to jump through things I shouldn't & ended up outside the confines of a level, but you can usuallly find a way back in, sometimes by having to die.
So, alll in alll not quite up there with Lego Star Wars for me, but a very good addition to the Lego stable of games & one I would recommend for kids of alll ages.
I'm eagerly awaiting Lego Batman in September.....
