Video Game Reviews of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
Customer Review: Great Game! Lots of fun and adventure!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just picked this game up last night for my PC, and all I can say after several hours of playing it is, "WOW!" This game is a lot of fun, and there is definetly a lot to do and see in this game. I am not a real big fan of adventure games in general, if you can call this an adventure game, but this game is really a lot of fun. This was my first Lego PC game. I have played Lego Star Wars for PS2, and I have the Lego Star Wars game for PC, but have never got around to actually playing it. I have always been a big Indiana Jones fan, and I heard this game was really good, so I went ahead and purchased it. So far, I have have none of the issues that others have had with having problems getting this game to load or run. I am using the Xbox 360 controller for Windows, so maybe that helps. I haven't tried any other controller for this game, so I can't comment on any controller issues. I bought the 360 controller mainly because I know a lot of the Windows games are built around the use of this particular controller. I would guess that LucasArts will eventually come out with the needed patch to use other controllers for this game. I would definetly recommend the 360 controller anyway, it is just the best controller I have ever used for PC games. I am using a computer that I built myself. I have a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processor, 2 Gigs of RAM, and a PNY GeForce 8500GT 512MB video card. My sound card is a Soundblaster Audigy. The game has paused a couple of times very briefly, but other than that, no problems. I am planning on eventually adding 2 more Gigs of RAM to my system. The graphics and gameplay are awesome! I would imagine that they are at least comparable to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of this game. I am mainly a PC gamer anyway, I don't even own a 360 or PS3 as of yet. I can't justify spending the kind of money for these consoles when I am just a casual gamer anyway. Anyway, back to the game. This game is one that I would recommend for any Indiana Jones fans, or fans of the Lego series. There is definetly some replay value to this game. I downloaded a strategy guide for the game, so that helps with some of the more challenging parts of the game. The game seems to follow the movies pretty closely, and there is a lot of humor with the various characters in the game as well. I can't wait until September for the Lego Batman game! I give this game a thumbs up! Just make sure your computer is up to snuff and that you have a good processor and video card before purchasing this game. I had all of those things in mind when I built my computer, so no problems with the game on this end. Like I said, the Xbox 360 controller for Windows is almost a must-have if you are going to be playing Windows games on the PC. Fair or not, but this is simply the controller that a lot of the game programmers are using when they design games, as there are a ton of different controllers out there. Bottom line, go get this game!Customer Review: Average game
Summary: 4 Stars
i played it on a laptop computer and there were lots of glitches, times where i would have to make changes in the resolotion just to get past a certain point.
It was fun to play but without being able to use arrow keys it was also hard at times.
Customer Review: super game!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
In this game you can interact with the enviroment way more than lego star wars. You can pick things up for example, a box. You can also pick guns and enemy's hats off the ground. this is a great game! Customer Review: Standard USB gamepads won't work
Summary: 3 Stars
The standard USB gamepads most people already own for use on their PC will not work with Lego Indiana Jones. For some reason (bad programming), a basic USB gamepad like the Logitech Precision gamepad, which has 10 buttons and an up/down/left/right stick is not sufficient for this game. This doesn't mean that you can use the gamepad, but just miss a few functions; it means you CANNOT actually play the game at all with this gamepad, it won't let you start. Read the official LucasArts forums for more details. Here are a couple good responses from Lucasarts: remember that this is a basic game, not a flight simulator or WoW.
"That controller does meet the minimum number of inputs required for LEGO Indiana Jones."
"The game supports dual-analog gamepads,
Required number of controller inputs:
2 analog sticks (4 axes) and 11 buttons
or
1 analog stick (2 axes) and 15 buttons
or
19 buttons."
Customer Review: A lot of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is a ton o' fun and made us want to buy the Lego Star Wars games.
