Imagine being able to play with Legos without having to get all the pieces. Now you can with Lego Indiana Jones. It takes the fun and creative construction of LEGO and combines it with the wits, daring and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures. With a tongue-in-cheek take on these original adventures, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones's escapades through the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India where you will build, battle and brawl your way through your favorite moments, from Indy's entanglements with snakes to his dashing boulder run.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: mediocre
Comment: I'm very surprised by all the positive reviews for Lego Indiana Jones. I found this to be a very mediocre game, with many poor design choices.

Graphics: The cutscenes are horribly lo-fi and pixelated. During game play, they are just ok - nothing amazing. But there are some issues: namely, things don't line up like they should. It's very easy to fall off of things, miss jumps, etc. The controls are often slow and innacurate in response. This is the only DS game I own where I have to push a button multiple times just to get the action to take place once.

Gameplay: very little thought needed - you simply smash every object you run across. It's not that fun after about 5 levels of this. Also, if you move too far forward on a screen, you often get sucked into a new cutscene, and you are taken to another screen, or blocked in some way from going back. Thus, you miss out on all the red bricks and other treasures from that level.

Saving: you have to play for a VERY long time until you can save. I mean, like hours. Why?

Story: the screens loosely follow some scenes from the movies, but on the whole I was not left with the feeling that I had just walked in Indy's shoes through the movies.

Summary: I am disappointed, and I will be trading this in.

Summary: who knew?
Comment: You could have so much fun playing Indiana Jones and as a bunch of lego blocks no less. You are able as you progress through the game to pick up and play as other characters in Free Play mode. Which is basically you running through the level again. But having access to characters that you've unlocked throughout the game. It's at least 60 characters that you can unlock and while some are the same character with different customes. It is still very cool to have that option if you so choose.

The game itself is very fun and can be played by just about any age group. I picked it up and finished it a few days later. While the overall length of the game leaves a little bit to be desired. It doesn't detract at all from the game as a whole. The graphics are pretty solid for a DS game and didn't encounter any bugs(others may have) or other issues while playing. It is something that anyone looking for a fun and engaging game to play should pick up.

Plus the price at 19.99 is rare in this day and age of video game prices. Lego Indiana Jones warrants an inclusion into your gaming library and once you buy the game. You'll really enjoy it.

Summary: Son loves it.
Comment: My son saved his money to buy his own DS, and I agreed to buy two games. This was one of them. This one is a little easier than Legos Star Wars.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for Autistic children
Comment: My girls had the play station version and they loved it. Unfortunately when you have special needs children dvd's and cd's do not last long before they become scratched and eventually unusable.

I was going to replace their game when I saw this version, the same game only for the DS which they do have. Less destructible and much more portable. They can take it in the car and their rooms etc without a problem that the play station does not go.

I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. And my girls are thrilled to have the game back and able to play it without scratches.
