 Excellent Addition to the Lego Series June 16, 2008

Let's get this out of the way. There was no way that this game was going to be better than any of the Star Wars Lego Games. That being said, this is still an excellent, but flawed game.
Pros:
Funny cut scenes
A lot of replay value
Lots to unlock
Fun adventure gameplay
An awesome hidden character
Cons:
Some puzzles are unclear
The characters are not as interesting as many of the Star Wars ones you could play as.
Some levels got dull and repetitive
If you love the Lego Star Wars games, then you will love this addition. It is a must play for any Indiana Jones fan. You will not be disappointed.
This Game is AWESOME!!! June 16, 2008
Lego Indiana Jones for Xbox 360 is awesome for many reasons. The graphics are great, the player abilities are improved over Lego Star Wars II, Free Play, and the way the missions follow the movie's plot. The first thing I noticed is that the graphics are exellent. The graphics draw you in like you are actually there. I really like Lego Star Wars II but the player abilities in this game are even better. You have different options of attack; you can use pistols, machine guns, swords, TNT and bazookas. Just like the other Lego games there is a Free Play option. Once you have gone through Story Mode and have access to Free Play you can change characters and access areas that where restricted before (example: change to Shorty to get through a small door). The last thing I like about the game is the way it follows the storylines of the movies. As I played Temple of Doom I was happy to see the game designers had stayed true to the plot of the movie. I spent $50 on this game and that is a lot of money for an 11 year-old kid like me. But, because of good graphics, player abilities, Free Play and mission setup I think this game is worth every penny.

The LEGO world video game has come on strong thanks to the Star Wars games and now Indiana Jones (and soon Batman). You can join Indy on his modified adventures based on the original trilogy with the light-hearted humor and action to fulfill your missions. This one is just as innovative as the Star Wars games although some of the missions seem fairly short while others are enjoyably long. Unfortunately there are a lot of characters you will probably never play as. The cut scene mini-movies are fairly amusing but the 'mumbling speech' does get annoying, this game begs for a few voice over segments in the cut-scenes or better yet, when an achievement is reached they could have used the dialogue from the movie (I know, then you have to deal with royalties and permission from the actors) to sound off the achievement.
There are some camera angle issues dealing with blind spots but overall, the atmosphere is enjoyable and the caricatures are good. You can now swim, climb ladders, use trampolines, and ride motorcycles & cars. The game is heavy on hand to hand fighting. The guns YOU pickup have limited firing power (much better over neverending shots) but you will die alot trying to get close enough to disarm the enemies - the bazookas are quite formidable.
There's a few glitches here and there but the adventures are fun to play through, although some a little too easy. Replayability may be limited unless you give a substantial break between defeating the game and your next journey through. There are mass amounts of achievements to obtain and some are hard to get. The cheats are far too easy to abuse (Treasure multipliers are seriously broken and you'll get your True Adventurer almost instantly with one or two turned on). Your special bonus is to find a couple Star Wars references to unlock secret character Han Solo.
Overall, this is a fun game, sometimes too easy, but holds up almost as well as the Star Wars versions. It's better to play the story modes without revisiting Barnett College between missions. Downfall is there is nothing that I have found dealing with the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and I don't foresee Travellers' Tales coming out with a game only for that movie unless they possibly put one out with some of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles tv show references or just make up three or four 'bonus films'. Play, build, and enjoy.
Now what I'd really like to see for expansion is LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean or LEGO Lord of the Rings or even LEGO Mummy, Mummy Returns, Scorpion King, and Mummy: Dragon Emperor.
it's fun for my 4 year old, my wife, and ME!!! June 24, 2008

We've played the other Lego Star Wars games for the xbox360 and really enjoyed playing them. It's rare to have a game that the entire family can enjoy playing together. the puzzles within the game are challenging and fun.
 Fun, but a little on the repetitive side of things. June 30, 2008

This is the first on the Lego series I have played, and I must say to begin with it was a blast. The game has you, Indiana Jones playing through the 3 original movies of this series. You are accompanied along the way by some familiar faces. The game has loads of sidekicks, around 60 I believe. The game has 18 missions, 6 in each of the episodes, I have nearly beaten Episode 1. The game is fun and a break from most, however, the combat and simple puzzles quickly become repetitive. That's not to say it isn't fun, it's just the same thing over and over. The achievements are okay I have netted 110 in 1/3 of the game roughly so I expect to finish with around 350 or so. So if you love this series or the Lego series then you should probably rent this game, not a buy, but worth renting for a weekend. You can beat this game in around 10 hours if not less. So all in all, this one was okay for a rent, but not worth buying in my opinion.
Overall 6.0-7.0
