If you want, I can make this really short. If you a) like Indiana Jones – or at least the original trilogy – and you b) enjoyed the Lego Star Wars games, then you can buy Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures with confidence. Just think of the Lego Star Wars magic applied to the Indiana Jones movies, and while there are some minor differences in the specifics and balance of gameplay, the overall look and feel will be pretty much what you imagine. If you want to see key scenes from the Indiana Jones trilogy humorously re-enacted in the medium of Lego, you’ve got it. If you want a nice, fun game, full of simple platform jumping and relatively simple puzzle-solving, you’ve got that too. If you’ve got an insatiable need to collect every playable character and bonus going, and you want a game that’s full of that kind of stuff, this is it. It’s only if you want something new and entirely original – and only then – that you are you likely to come away disappointed.
Lego Indiana Jones isn’t a huge departure from Lego Star Wars, but the puzzles and level designs are generally better, and the nostalgia factor still works like gang-busters. Warmly Recommended.
