Advantages: Quite addictive, many hours of gameplay to fully complete. good fun

Disadvantages: Too dark in places, camera angle occasionally dodgy

If you have never played the 'Lego Star Wars' games then your first impressions on picking up the box for this may be 'just a kids game' but as fans of the two games based on the Star Wars trilogies will tell you, that's not strictly true.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Lego Star Wars games, the basic idea takes the first three Indiana Jones films and transfers them into a puzzle-based platform game featuring as many characters from the films as you can think of (and probably more) in Lego form.

A large part of the game is made up of hidden secret levels and items, and it is impossible to find everything at the first attempt - once a level has been completed this enables 'Free Play' so you can play through again as many times as you need with a selection of characters, each with different abilities. For example, you might need to play a level again with a character who can jump higher, or fit through small crawl spaces, to get an artefact you weren't able to collect first time.

The ability to play with two players on screen adds to the fun, and the game requires you to work together in order to proceed. Graphics are quite nice, although the game seems a little dark in places and the camera angle can be a little awkward at times.

Just as good as the Lego Star Wars games, (if you enjoyed them you should enjoy this) the game contains many hours of playability if you stick with it and go for every hidden artefact - and just remember, it's not just for kids!

Summary: If you liked the Lego Star Wars games, get this!
