Video Game Reviews of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

Customer Review: Tons of Fun but Not Perfect
Summary: 3 Stars

I've enjoyed many evenings playing this game with my seven-year-old. The game itself is a lot of fun. It fairly closely follows the plot lines of the first three Indiana Jones movies. However, it does have some significant drawbacks:

1. This game does NOT work with my brand new Logitech RumblePad 2 controller that I bought specifically for Lego Star Wars II PC Game. From reading other reviews I understand that the only controller that really works for Lego Indiana Jones is the XBox 360 controller. I've ordered one of those but resent shelling out another $40 when I just bought a Logitech controller that was highly recommended for all PC games. What's the deal LucasArts???? For now we're stuck using the keyboard to play this game.

2. When we first started playing the game it was EXTREMELY SLOW. From reading other comments we learned that you have to go into the games options and turn down all the special effects like shading, etc. Once these were all turned down or off the game works great.

Overall this game is a lot of fun but I'm VERY disappointed about the lack of compatibility with Logitech controllers and I think they need to put some kind of warning about how to fix game slowness. My computer is only 6 months old. You would think the game should work well out of the box. I recommend the game but if you're going to purchase it be forewarned about the issues mentioned above.

Description of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

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.

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures takes the fun and creative construction of LEGO and combines it with the wits, daring and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures that enthralled audiences everywhere (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the original adventures, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones escapades through the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India.

Of course, pop culture's most iconic archaeologist will whip through all the classic moments with the help of a host of supporting characters including Marion Ravenwood and Short Round. Players can also mix and match the body parts of more than 60 playable characters to create new heroes just as they could in the best-selling LEGO Star Wars games.
