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
I bought this game for my ten year old son. At first I wasn't sure but after several months of asking, I gave in! What I like best is it provides a love of adventure without the profanity that so many games seem to sneak in now a days. It also makes me giggle when I hear the theme song, I loved Indiana Jones growing up, and now we can share stories!
My son LOVES this game. I knew he would because I've been watching for games I myself would like. And I was right. This game is not only fun to play but its funny as well. During cut scenes, the lego characters do funny things and I swear that we almost peed our pants from laughing so hard. Best money I ever spent. Trust me. You won't be disappointed with this game. Definate recommend for all ages.
This is one of our 10 yr old grandson's favorite games and the price was excellent on our fixed income. When you are a grand and great grandparent you look for deals wherever they can be found. He has already master part of it on his trial version, I am positive he will thoroughly enjoy it. Thanks again Sarah
My daughter first borrowed this game from a friend while we were on a trip. She couldn't put it down. She gets bored easily with handheld video games but this game kept her interested and wanting to play more. I bought the game for her and will be giving it to her for Christmas. She was disappointed when she had to return her friends game back. Seems to be a fun, entertaining game for tweens.
