How Metascores Are Calculated

1 vs. 100
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures takes the fun and creative construction of LEGO and combines it with the wits, daring and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures that enthralled audiences everywhere (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the original adventures, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones escapades through the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India. Fans can build, battle and brawl their way through their favorite cinematic moments, from Indy's entanglements with snakes to his dashing boulder run. Pop culture's most iconic archeologist whips through all the classic moments with the help of a host of supporting characters including Marion Ravenwood and Short Round. Players can also mix and match the body parts of more than 60 playable characters to create new heroes just as they could in the LEGO Star Wars games. [LucasArts]

Everyone else can complain about the lack of difficulty and 'lite' gameplay mechnics. Meanwhile we'll all be smashing Lego Nazis with a beaming smile emblazoned on our faces.

Beautifully designed and a joy from start to finish - DS gets possibly the best version of Lego Indy of them all.

So, if you're jonesing for some Indiana on the go, you've got a great option with LEGO Indiana Jones.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK
A brilliantly tongue in cheek take on the first three movies. [Aug 2008, p.100]

n-Revolution Magazine UK
With different gameplay, it's worth getting even if you own the Wii game. [Issue#24, p.77]

This is basically exactly what fans of the last few LEGO games will be expecting: fun, not-too-taxing, enjoyable gameplay with tongue-in-cheek humour, loads of stuff to unlock and plenty of replay value.

The game takes ample advantage of the DS' touch screen for some of the characters' unique skills, but fortunately it doesn't force you to use them.

I’m afraid that if the LEGO franchise continues in this direction the novelty will end up wearing thin (I’m looking at you, Batman), but for now it still feels somewhat fresh.

Gamer 2.0
The main issue between this version of the game and the console versions is simply personal preference.

AtomicGamer
Overall, Indiana Jones: The Original Trilogy is cute and good for one or two laughs but is likely to bore older gamers. It's a perfect title, though, for gamers 10 and under.

Nintendo Power
Granted, it has the same basic, easy-to-pick-up-and-play gameplay, but it also has some neat DS-exclusive features(touch-screen minigames, for example)that make it stand out. [July 2008, p.90]

GameShark
Unfortunately, it's almost exactly the same accessible, fun and goofy experience, so those that had their fill of Lego games with earlier outings won't find enough new stuff here to get them excited all over again, Indiana Jones fanatics notwithstanding.

This charming adventure has its pitfalls, but it's still a lot of fun.

Lego Indiana Jones, while extremely competent, isn't quite as exciting as Lego Star Wars was simply because it feels like we've been here before.
