Order Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

Like many others, I am a fan of the Lego's games. I loved Star Wars and Batman. The original Indiana Jones was actually my least favorite of all of them--can't say exactly why, but I just did not have as much fun with it. I was really looking forward to the 2nd installment of Indiana Jones hoping it was better than the first.

I should say that I play this game with my husband--no kids, just adults playing. If you have young kids, I think it would be pretty difficult. I like the Lego games because they are puzzles--you have to figure everything out--what order, where things go, where something might be hidden, etc. This game seems to take that too an extreme. Instead of easily being able to find characters and buy them/turn into them, you have to do a lot of searching. You also must get things done in a certain order or you cannot get anything done and feel stuck. My husband and I were playing in the Temple of Doom and became very frustrated because we could not figure out what to do next--there were lots of things to pick up, but nothing to do with any of them. I finally resorted to going online to find a game walkthrough to figure it out.

Don't get me wrong, I like this game. It IS a fun game. It is just a bit more frustrating that the others. When you finally find the door you want to go through and then it tells you that you need a character with a spear, but you either don't have that character yet or you can't find them to switch characters, it can be really frustrating. The split screen can be nice, but at the same time, it makes the views difficult. When you need to complete a race and only have half the screen, it is difficult to see where the next markers are located (I recommend the 2nd player drop out before the race).

Keep the Lego games coming...I love playing these games. They are by far my favorites. I like the Mario games, but the Lego games (all of them) hold my attention much longer. I recommend this game more for adults and fans of the Indiana Jones movies over children. Just because it is a Lego's game does not make it a child's game.Get more detail about Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues.
