Some parents may find it violent as there is shooting and fighting. That said, the characters "fall apart" in typical Lego fashion. My 5 and 9 year old have been playing it together and they find they are able to complete levels of gameplay. The puzzles required to complete levels are easy enough for them to do and often require teamwork from both to complete. There are 6 individual levels for each of the 3 movies making 18 total game levels PLUS 3 bonus levels. Players have the ability to create and name their own character which my kids also enjoyed. This is a great game and I would recommend it.

I bought this game for my six year old son. He enjoyed playing the game once he figured out that it takes different characters to perform different tasks, which is a lot easier in Free Play, since you can choose from several different characters and not be locked to two in the Story play. It takes some skills to figure out some of the tasks that need to be performed, which sometimes even I had a hard time figuring out. In all, it is a fun, entertaining, and challenging game.
The second installation in the Lego series has much in common with the original (Star Wars): good, clean family fun; lots of 'replayability'; plenty of characters to unlock and items to collect; and Han Solo. Han Solo?! Yes, Han is an unlockable character in the Lego Indiana Jones Trilogy, but he's not the only one. Unfortunately, the unlockable characters have very little use in this game, unlike the Ghost of Obi-Wan, et al., in the previous installment. In fact, the secrets and cheats in this game are nearly useless, even if they do add a little more flavor to the game. Like Lego Star Wars, the Indy game has plenty of puzzles to keep you guessing, lots to explore, and various character types to choose from. Also like Star Wars, Indy is buggy. Count on resetting more than once or twice because necessary items disappear, seagulls don't fly right, and any host of problems. The good thing is, you don't normally mind playing a level over (in fact, these games are designed so that you play each level at least twice). Minor problems aside, this game has that elusive fun factor that many better-designed games sorely lack. Once you get used to the somewhat wonky control scheme (which way do I jump, so I don't fall into the pit for the fiftieth time?!), gamers of any skill level can beat the game and have a whole lot of fun doing it. These Lego games are a great way to bond with the kids or spouse - you'll find yourselves talking about it and thinking about playing again throughout the day. Five stars out of five, with the aforementioned caveats (bugs, controls, nearly pointless secret characters and levels).Read full review
The LEGO Indiana Jones game improves on a few of the setbacks found in the previous LEGO Star Wars games. These minor changes make a huge difference in game enjoyment and truly make this game better than the SW versions. The improvements are 1) the ability to easily switch to the other character even when they are far away (rather than being right next to the character as in SW); this quick switch can save you in many tight spots, and 2) not needing as many pieces to get the extras (2x, 4x, etc) to amass pieces quicker. Overall it's a simpler game than SW but still great fun tracking down all the artifacts and parcels (much like in the spirit of Indiana Jones). I highly recommend this game if you enjoyed the SW games; you'll like this better simply for the improved gameplay.
Bought this since I only played the DS version and wanted to see what the original was like. Great gameplay and great level design as any other Lego game. The one thing that was confusing was that it came in it's actual case instead of just a stand alone disc. But that didn't bother me and it is in good condition.
