Fun puzzles and addictive gameplay make this game a must have

User Rating: 8 | LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures X360
Taking a break from the Lego Star Wars games, Traveller's Tales gives us something different with a Lego version of Indiana Jones. This new addition to the series is surprisingly just as fun as it's predeccessors.

Like the title suggests, the game follows the first three Indiana Jones movies; Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade. Every stage goes through the whole timeline of each movie but more humorous. The game is full of jokes and it pokes fun at certain moments (it's actually pretty hilarious too). Each movie has 6 levels which totals 18 levels to play through. When you're not in a level, you can explore the Barnette college.

Like Lego Star Wars, there are two modes to play in; story mode and free play. Story mode involves watching cut scenes as you go along and playing as characters that are given to you. In Free Play, you can choose from a large list of 60 characters as well as one of two characters that you create yourself. It's also much easier to find certain items in free play.

Your goal in the game is, of course, to blast your way through enemies, solve puzzles, and even build (it is a lego game after all) your way to the end of the stage. You can play alone or you can play with a friend in co-op which also makes the game more fun. Every character has different abilities that can help you along the way which can build up replay value. My biggest complaint is that in some areas, enemies will continue to respawn.

Although I personally liked Lego Star Wars better, Lego Indiana Jones still offers the same fun and enjoyable gameplay experience that the games are known for. If you like platformers, Lego Star Wars, or need a break from shooters, then Lego Indiana Jones is the game for you.
