Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (Wii)

It seems to be that, since the Nintendo Wii took the gaming world by storm with a pro-active style of gameplay a couple of years ago, it has had a string of games which have very much lived up to the hype. And Lego have jumped on the Wii bandwagon, releasing a string of 'accessory' lines by teaming up with various well known film series and creating a Lego game in conjunction with them. The first of these was the Lego Star Wars saga, with all six episodes chronicled in a highly entertaining platform game. On the back of the success of this game, Lego brought out their next game: Lego Indiana Jones, which takes us through the three original Indiana Jones films. ...  Read the complete review

Now call me shallow and immature if you must but the only reason I wanted this Wii game was because it has 'Lego' in the title. I could not resist the funny little lego style people on the front cover. Just look at the picture - how could you resist that?! THE PLOT This game is based on the Indiana Jones films.

The different roles of different characters makes it good ...  Read the complete review

'The Original Adventures' is based on just that- the first three Indiana Jones films. Through the stories and environments of Raiders of the Lost Ark, to the Temple of Doom and the Last Crusade you are tasked with guiding Indy and his companions whilst dealing with a range of blocky baddies. The gameplay is very similar to Lego Star Wars, if you've ever played that. It's kind of like a ...  Read the complete review

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is the new game from the successful LEGO series. Made in part by Lucas Arts, it means that there are no imitations here, everyone looks the way they're supposed to (well, as much as they can being Lego) and the situations you find yourself in are straight from the movies. You start off in college, from here you can pick and choose what you want to do. On the first floor are three doors, one for each film. There are 6 levels for you to explore from each film, and relate directly to each respective movie, for instance you fight in Marion's bar in the "Raiders", save Willy from the fire pit in "The Temple ...  Read the complete review
