  1. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures 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.
  2. 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.
  3. While not a bad game, our overriding feeling while playing Lego Indiana Jones was that we really wanted to play through Lego Star Wars again. The game works, for all its glitches, and will undoubtedly provide a good few hours of co-op fun with a like-minded second player. Nevertheless, the painful fact is that Lego fatigue has set in far sooner than we had expected it to.

    If you liked the Star Wars LEGO title then you’ll like this.
  5. The great moments were truly great. But the lackluster moments were very disappointing. So I'm going to say that the game might be more rental than purchase.
  6. Perhaps the worst thing you can say about Lego Indy is that it is not as instantly likeable as the Lego Star Wars games, and that it’s more of a relationship you’ll have to work at instead of being the love at first sight Travellers Tales' previous efforts were.

    Great game with lots of contents. I played it when I was a kid around 2011 and played it a second time in 2022. My favorite parts are theGreat game with lots of contents. I played it when I was a kid around 2011 and played it a second time in 2022. My favorite parts are the hidden Star Wars eastereggs. Very lovely.

    The developers put a lot of effort into the character and world design, even if it was 2008.

    Definitely worth a try.

    Don't love it as much as other LEGO games, but it's still really good.

    This game is like most Lego games: a dumbed down movie videogame for kids. I love Indiana Jones, but this game really doesn't do it any justice.
