 Accessible for non-gamers, tons of replay August 11, 2008

My first introduction to the Lego video game concept was on the DS with Lego Star Wars, and I wasn't that impressed. When I thought about it though, much of my dislike for the game had to do with the format, as the DS isn't always ideal in terms of detail and control.
Fast forward to this year, and being a huge Indy fan, I couldn't wait for this title. My fiance scored it for my birthday, and the obsession began shortly thereafter... for both of us. I consider myself an intense gamer now and then, but my better half sees little appeal beyond Zuma. She was instantly taken by the control and look of the game.
Game play is relatively straight forward, and most puzzles are easy enough to figure out. The graphics on the 360 are shiny and plastic, and it maintains a very high frame rate. The humor of the game is silly and fun, and the cut scenes are sure to get a giggle out of anyone familiar with the movies. There are one or two moments that might be a little frustrating for non-gamer types, they kind of goofy physical challenges that annoy even the hardcore. Overall though, there is so much fun to be had.
The real shining quality is the replay value. You can play through all three movies and, at best, score only 50%. That's because there are more puzzles and challenges that require various characters in the free play mode. Each level has ten artifact pieces that together unlock bonus levels, and each level has a parcel you have to find and mail to make extras available for purchase (fast dig, artifact detection, etc.). You can even find hidden Star Wars characters that collectively will allow you to buy Han Solo as a playable character.
I'm really looking forward to the Lego Batman game coming out late 2008, because the developers have really put together a winning formula.
This game is awesome August 13, 2008

I loved the Lego Star Wars game even though I've never seen a Star Wars movie. I suspected I'd like this even more since I am familiar with the characters and I wasn't disappointed. I love having the figure out the puzzles in order to move onto the next level and that is the main appeal for me, but the smashing and collecting studs is fun too. It took me several weeks to finish the game but I wasn't playing it every day by any means - it would be hard to guess how many actual hours entertainment. Definitely worth the purchase price!
Great Family Game August 26, 2008

It's Lego + Indiana Jones, really can't go wrong. It's a great game because the puzzles are aimed at kids, and allows for two players to play together. The cutscenes are pretty funny and there is some replay value as characters can be unlocked and artifacts can be found. The only thing I wish to see in future series is the ability to change the camera angle.
An amazing game. Game of the year. September 2, 2008

Indiana Jones is pure fun from start to finish. The level design is astonishing, the gameplay is simply fantastic.
I wrote another review on how much I disliked the Star Wars original trilogy because it's all action(and very clumsy awkward action) on poorly designed levels. Indiana Jones is the polar opposite. The gameplay is smooth, and doesn't feel clunky. and you actually want to search every inch of the beautiful levels. Amazing...best game of 2008!
