Video Game Reviews of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
Customer Review: Fun, but a little tedious at times
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a really fun game to me. I enjoy challenges and puzzles and this game offers many of each. They got the sarcastic one liners of Indy down pretty well, though it would have been a lot cooler if Harrison Ford voiced it. The game has an intriguing story, though somewhat far fetched, but its a game. The graphics were a bit on the mediocre side for the requirements, but it didn't take away from the game play. The controls are good, but I find sometimes they don't respond like they should. My only real complaint is how linear the game is. There is only one way to go and that doesn't make the puzzle solving the most fun sometimes. Good game overall.
Description of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
His parents may have named the dog Indiana, but for millions of fans there's no better name associated with adventure than the moniker Dr. Jones took for himself. For Indy fans, the follow-up to a 1992 Indiana Jones adventure game has been a long wait, but trust us--it was worth it. A solid 3-D third-person role-playing game, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine was built on LucasArts' own Jedi Knight engine, putting an entirely new spin on the series formula.While his lady friends throughout the years may have considered Indiana himself "infernal," the title actually refers to a Babylonian device that has fallen into the wrong hands. In the past Indy took on monstrous Nazi officers; now he's working with the CIA to capture the machine before it falls into the hands of Soviet agents. This fight takes players through scores of wonderfully rendered scenes, both underground and aboveground.
There are some drawbacks, of course (and we're not talking about its similarity to a certain other tomb-raiding game). The primary fault is that it's single-player only, so don't plan any KGB-versus-Dr. Jones death matches. But the famous Indy wit and attitude goes a long way towards making up for that flaw. Also, Infernal Machine is easy to jump into and simple to play--unlike other games that require memorizing key assignments before even beginning.
A much-anticipated title, Infernal Machine--like the globetrotting, dust-covered, nick-of-time treasure hunter himself--delivers the goods.
If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones. The year is 1947. Indy is back (this time in electrifying 3-D!) as a CIA recruit tasked with uncovering why Soviet agents are sniffing around the ruins of the fabled Tower of Babel. So hold onto your fedora and grab your whip in this heart-pounding action quest for the elusive "Infernal Machine."
