    great game. Graphics looks a little too blurry at times, but the controls are solid and the game like's to throw different things at you like holding the wiimote like a joystick to fly a plane. Game's a lot of fun to play. Haven't tried MP yet, but it looks to be fun. Oh yeah Indiana Jones: The Fate of Atlantis is included for FREE in this game. That alone makes this a great game.

    The worst thing about this game is that you cannot skip cinematic, or the intro credits. very big mistake, very annoying. Graphics are inconsistent, but when they're good, they're brilliant. Don't believe what they say about the motion controls. Fight sequences are great fun if you take the time to learn how to fight properly, tactically. if you just waggle then The worst thing about this game is that you cannot skip cinematic, or the intro credits. very big mistake, very annoying.

I recommend playing it on hard though.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very fun and a great game. Feels like your in a Indiana Jones movie and very addicting. The game has a very good storyline that is easy to understand and is action packed. The Wii remote is sometimes hard to use is the game but is worth i.… Expand

    The story here is entertaining, and a fun globetrotter. The motion controls work to say the least, though there is a lot to be desired.
    The real meat of this game lies in it's bonus content. The multiplayer coop and death match aren't the best in the world, but they are definitely enjoyable, and I'd recommend to the coop to anyone, assuming they already own it.

    But there's something else. You can unlock Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis for MSDOS, through the SCUMMVM engine. I would've written a review on it's page, but it doesn't exist so I'm writing it here. I would consider Fate of Atlantis to be one of the best point and click adventure games of all time, and is worth it not only for Indy fans, but for anyone interested in p&c/a games. I'd say the Wii version isn't the best way to play, but it isn't bad. Using the wiimote in place of a mouse and keyboard works, but isn't preferable in a lot of cases. There are also somethings you just can't do, but they aren't things required to beat or enjoy the game to it's fullest, they're mostly just different things you can do in combat.
    If it weren't for TFoA, this game would have a much lower score, but it really ties this whole package together.    … Expand

    Ultimately enjoyable, with some nice gameplay variety and good sound-alike voice acting. [July 2009, p.85]

    Still, it's an enjoyable way to waste away the weekend, especially for casual Wii owners who are looking for a challenge; hardcore gamers, on the other hand, will scoff at the games' puzzles' but as long as you don't go in expecting the second coming of The Last Crusade, you'll be fine.

    Only approach this game if you intend to play Fate of Atlantis. Staff of Kings hardly finds the Indiana Jones pulse.
