Lego Indiana Jones has hit the stores all over the world on PC, PS2, Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo DS and the PSP, following the release of the new Indiana Jones movie. We covered the game in an episode of Gamersyde Diaries, and here are the First 10 Minutes from the game.
I've played it both alone and with several friends, and we all laughed at the silly humour in this game. If you take this as the simple game it is, I think it's really easy to enjoy. The game has its design flaws mentioned in the Diary, but to me it didn't matter as you gets revived within a second anyway. Sitting with friends, it more or less became a laughing matter as it's supposed to be so easy to finish "a kid's game", but we still fell over the ledges time after time.
The graphics looks great and while I agree on that it might be hard for some to pay full-price for it, I still recommend it as a game worth to try out, specially if you can do it in the co-op mode. The video below show the upcoming levels after the demo ends.
Really great game, the levels are a lot larger and more interesting than they were in Star Wars. Unfortunately, it's the opposite for the characters, there's little reason to be anyone besides Indy and a the female characters, most of the other characters you can unlock are generic tribesmen and henchmen, where as Star Wars had hundreds of guys that were fun to play as.
Still, can't wait for Lego Batman, I'm never going to get sick of these games.

Yeah, but judging by the content of both reviews, Eurogamer didn't particularly care much for the game anyway. They probably only gave it an 8 to avoid controversy - the review sounded more like a 6. (2 Hours ago)

6 to 8 split on Eurogamer, which isn't quite as large but still pretty significant. (4 Hours ago)

Yeah sure, but from what console reviews are saying it's perfectly adequate. I mean I'm sure PC is the way to go, but I sincerely doubt we're seeing a 5 to 9 split score wise or anything. (4 Hours ago)

not that the Xbox version is "that bad" by most accounts either.. there are plenty of people here playing it who adore it.. but the PC game is recieving higher marks across the board (4 Hours ago)

@SimonM7: I doubt that's true too, if other reviews I've read are any indication. The game was designed around an interface that's not represented on the Xbox.. (4 Hours ago)

I doubt PC and 360 scores would differ much in EDGE, they simply don't fancy it. DA on the 360 is fine as long as you like the underlying game. (4 Hours ago)

is DA on the 360 really that bad? I can't run it on my pc so the eggbox is my only viable alternative (5 Hours ago)

They don't speak the whole game? Is it the same in Lego StarWars?
talking lego would just be wierd.
besides, it's funny to watch lego people trying to emote.
Otherwise this looks amazing even though it looks like it plays down the whole Nazi deal
I hope their faces still melt off at the end
Still, can't wait for Lego Batman, I'm never going to get sick of these games.
