Three reasons to love ‘LEGO Indiana Jones’
Posted on June 9, 2008 @ 9:46 am
1. It’s Indiana Jones.
2. It’s LEGO.
3. Any video game where Temple of Doom’s Willie has the “special ability” to scream so shrilly that she literally shatters glass (making otherwise inaccessible items and areas available to the player) is tops in my book.

Must… buy… game…

I walked Willie of a cliff. On purpose. Repeatedly. Just to hear her scream as she fell. (I admit to doing the same with Jar-Jar.)
I also love that Marion can slap the crap out of enemies. It makes my day. I am sad that she has no special ability, like laser eyes or something.
You can totally cheat your way through since the extras codes are all on line and you don’t have to purchase them after unlocking them like you did in LegoSW.
It’s a solid game and I’m enjoying it.
I have two quibbles:
1) Red-line-chasing, scene-cut thing at the start of each level is boring and makes the load time seem even longer. Maybe the load time is just too long. The illustrations aren’t even that interesting.
2) There doesn’t seem to be as many places to explore in this game compared to LegoSW. I suspect they wanted to get it out before the buzz from Indy4 died and scrimped a little.
I was on vacation last week and got to go to the LEGO store near Disneyland. Boy, did I drool over the Indiana sets, but the one I wanted (with Marion) they were sold out of.
I ended up getting an Indiana Jones LEGO keychain. Also, Princess Leia in the bikini.
