    This definetly does not beat Lego Star Wars, the controls are rubbish, plus Star Wars gave you a loading screenwith info and all this game gives you is a stupid, little map that tells you where you're going, I was dissapointed by this game and I hope they do better with Lego Batman with what they didto this brilliant franchise, but still it was a good game.

    i just started to play the game and i find it really fun to play. one aspect that i like about it that alot of the cut scenes are related to star wars which makes it pretty funny to watch. one bad thing about that game is that defending your self from the enemies is pretty hard for the fact that you either punch or whip the enemie. i think less enemies in the fighting scenes and perhapsi just started to play the game and i find it really fun to play. one aspect that i like about it that alot of the cut scenes are related to star wars which makes it pretty funny to watch. one bad thing about that game is that defending your self from the enemies is pretty hard for the fact that you either punch or whip the enemie. i think less enemies in the fighting scenes and perhaps making the puzzles alittle more complicated would make the game a "9".… Expand

    A very very nice game. Very entertaining and very funny. The cut scenes are interesting as everything in the game is made of lego. This is a must have game for Indiana Jones Fans, as the game takes them through the first 3 of the series. It is a disappointment however, that The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was not included. The extra features(like Young Indy) can make the games length A very very nice game. Very entertaining and very funny. The cut scenes are interesting as everything in the game is made of lego.

    Cool game but I kind of got bored after I finished the game. That's usually the low point of games with levels.

    This is definitely the best of all non-talking Lego games. I have not played any of the talking ones, however. This game is able to do better with what Lego Star Wars 2 had, and included things that Lego Batman didn't. For example, there are many variations of the characters you can use for each ability, including all custom characters have a whip. In Lego Batman, there were only 2 Jokers,This is definitely the best of all non-talking Lego games. I have not played any of the talking ones, however.

For example, there are many variations of the characters you can use for each ability, including all custom characters have a whip. In Lego Batman, there were only 2 Jokers, you pretty much needed Poison Ivy and many other characters every time. The suits of Batman and Robin that were useless except if specifically needed (all of them) were annoying to go through, also. Lego Indy has great game play, CPUs that make you do the puzzles, but are smart enough to follow you when you do something. I also liked the "Press the Triangle button to switch for the puzzle". I also liked how instead of having you just pick something up to get the power-up, you actually had to solve a puzzle most of the time. It just had a lot of great things the other games did not. Also, the addition of the "save and quit to Barnett College" was one of the most useful things in this game. Love it!… Expand

    Lego Star Wars was probably my favorite game as a child, but that game didn't age well, Lego Indiana Jones was my second favorite game when I was a kid, but when I grew up and played it again I still loved it. This is a Lego masterpiece.

    Lego Indiana Jones is a very funny retelling of the first three movies, we dont talk about the fourth. It has good controls, gameplay, level design, and character design. Overall, it is worth your money

    Even if you make only one trip through LEGO Indiana Jones, it'll be a great ride.

    Doesn't quite live up to its Star Wars cousins, mainly due to the fact that Star Wars is simply a more memorable series, but it's still a brilliant adventure and great fun.

    The magic just isn’t here. Repeating the success of Star Wars with a radically different license requires more than Star Wars as a foundation. It really never finds Indiana Jones’ pulse, and ends up being somewhat of a mess, albeit a moderately fun one.
