Advantages: Interesting concept and level design

Disadvantages: Too similar to other games of the series

If you are familiar with the previous Lego games of past years (Star Wars...) you'll know that you have a very similar game here. The game is a platformer structured around the idea of collaboration between two or more characters. Each one has different abilities, and levels are a series of puzzles where you must use each character to do a particular task to allow the other to progress before both of you can go on. The idea is interesting and works good in a movie context. Going through the level is fun, although replaying for a better score often feels like a chore, and the recreation of the movies in LEGO form is really, really nice. If you've seen the movies the anticipation (to see how a particular scene has been rendered) is part of the enjoyment.
The formula works and that's why the LEGO games have spawned a whole series. The bad thing, if you want to find one, is that it's just not new. So, if you haven't played any of the LEGO Star Wars games before, you'll have fun with this. If you did, you might start to feel that you're bored by it too soon.

Summary: If the idea of LEGO and Indiana Jones sounds interesting to you, go for it!
