Lego Indiana Jones on Wii PS3 360 DS

Lego Indiana Jones is a Adventuring game available on the Wii PS3 360 DS. It can be played in Thirdperson Singleplayer Cooperative modes.

Lego Indiana Jones is a Adventuring game. Adventure games are enjoyed for two reasons: they provide enemy encounters that require tactics and strategy to conquor, and they create a fantasy world in which to explore and adventure.

Lego Indiana Jones can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Lego Indiana Jones can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Lego Indiana Jones can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

Story Gamer review Mon, 29 Aug 2011

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures Wii initially appears to be enjoyable and charming, but on closer inspection the awkward subject matter really isn't a good fit for the Lego series.

While playing Lego Indiana Jones, I found myself thinking about an imaginary Lego Schindler's List. Now, that may seem like a bad taste joke, like the mocked up covers for Lego Human Centipede and so forth you can find online, but in this case I'm being fairly serious.

Eclectic Gamer review Tue, 10 Feb 2009

What do Lego bricks and Indiana Jones have in common? They're probably fondly remembered by most people as classics from their youth. I was definitely a big fan of both in my younger days. Well now they have been brought together in this fantastic video game which puts you in the shoes of Indiana Jones and his various side kicks as you battle your way through the memorable movie scenes.

You can choose to play Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures in single player or multi player mode. We opted for the multi player version with my husband taking on the role of Indie - and me playing whatever side kick was featured in that particular scene.

Teen Gamer review Mon, 09 Feb 2009

Children's play pieces meet Harrison Ford, nice! I don't know how Lego manage to make me smile so much in their interpretation of classic films, but my grin was in danger of becoming permanent as I smiled my way through the entirety of this game!

Put the disk in, wait for ten seconds, the music kicks in and you smile. Whilst John Williams' sounds are enough to make anyone feel happy, the added Lego plane flying around will make all ages happy. I don't think it matters if you are a Lego fan, or a Lucas fan, this game is simply a feel good gaming experience.

Family Gamer review Mon, 11 Aug 2008

An industry dominated by people who grew up playing Lego meant it was only a matter of time before it was combined video games. And having tried and tested the other versions, it was high time we turned out attention to Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures on the DS.

But before we get too far let's have a look at a bit of the history surrounding this much anticipated title. Lego has weathered the changing seasons well since its hippy beginnings as Ole Kirk Christiansen's family owned wooden toys of 1932. Lego (literally meaning 'play well') is now among the top five children's products in the world. To maintain this position they are keen to capitalise on savvy tech kids. Most recently this has been in the form of collaboration with games.
