LEGO Indiana Jones
Posted by dailypop on May 20, 2008
If, like many grown men, you are chomping at the bit for the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I have something else for you to be excited about. Travellers Tales (the guys behind the best selling cross-platform hit LEGO Star Wars games) have comes back with a blocky rendition of everyone’s favorite archaeologist/pugilist.
LEGO Indiana Jones allows players to re-live their favorite moments from all three films (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and Last Crusade)… with a few small changes.
When you start up the game for the first time, you’re immediately tossed into the classic opening sequence from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Running through the jungle, traversing the ruins and its many traps and running from the boulder is all here and serves as your tutorial for future play. A number of new mechanics not seen in the previous titles become immediately apparent here, and helps set the experience apart from the Star Wars games a bit.
A few, small liberties have had to be taken with actual film events to keep the co-op option in-tact. For example, at the start of Raiders, Alfred Molina trades Indy the golden idol for the whip, but then drops the whip and runs off leaving Indy to fend for himself. In the game, he sticks with Indy the whole time, including the boulder chase, and winds up defecting in a cutscene at the end, enabling a second player to be there the whole time.
The game looks really great and is sure to make a welcome addition to my growing collection of PSP games.
LEGO Indiana Jones is released cross-platform on June 3rd.
