Lego Indiana Jones The Original Adventures.

Had a quick go at the 360 version last night - Interesting that V-Synch on or off is an option in the menus.

Either way - the CGI in this Lego game far surpasses the new films CGI....

it sounds alot of fun from what i hear i will look forward to play this in times to come

I finished it over the weekend and think its better than the Star Wars games. Its a bit more puzzle-orientated which is in line with the nature of the films and archeology in general, and the tongue-in-cheek humour seems to fit better too.

The puzzles are generally a bit tougher to work out, especially those involving the hidden parcels and there's no annoying vehicle sections. The presentation is better, level design is a bit more clever and it just feels like a more complete package. I reckon Traveller's Tales have improved their formula with each release.

Couldn't agree more with Kubrick - this is definitely a more polished game for the DS, and I imagine so for the other consoles.

It is amazingly addictive, especially just collecting those studs, and using Indy's whip to reel in the baddies before whacking them about lol.

Bring on LEGO Batman....

Any one got the Wii version? been thinking of picking it up for me and the girlfriend to play through in coop. Are the controls any good or would it be easier just to get the ps3 version?

[Brats]

I agree with you lot - the gameplay has been further refined.

The Edge review was really critical, especially over the dependence on Indy saying he was a 'swiss army knife' character, but I haven't found that at all. He can't jump as high as the girls, he can't go through small spaces, he can't blow things up, he can't scream, he can't activate the Kali statues. I'm not sure what the writer was thinking.

It's a shorter game that TCS obviously, but it seems more focused. I'm really pleased they dropped the crappy padding bits like the super stories and the bounty hunter missions. Finding the Star Wars characters in the levels is a much better bonus.

Yeah it's the same on the PS2 version. What's with that? I assumed some of the levels on PS2 would get s bit skippy with it turned on (although a PS2 should be able to handle a Lego game for crying out loud), but what the hell is it doing on the 360 version? Why would anybody want to play with v-sync turned off?

[Dogg Thang]

Well the PS3 version gets quite stuttery with it turned on. When it's turned off, things are much smoother but there's screen tearing.

Have to say I am loving this so far, it's keeping me away from NG2 so it has to be good

Better than TCS imo.

Struggling to find all the artifacts though (may have to resort to the guide for it)

[RobDimmock]

Brilliant game! Been playing it non stop. Was about time for another LEGO game, Star Wars ones were starting to get a bit boring and felt like they were dragging on. Bring on LEGO Batman

Hell yes!! Some are exceptionally difficult to find - one in particular was hidden behind a wall which you could only just get round!!

[MikeF]

Tell me about it, spent last night looking for them. Got all 60 on ROTLA now and the first 2 or 3 levels on ToD.

Still need to do TLC but it crashed on me on the first level last night. Hope it was just a one off

[Asholay]

Good work! - got about 45/60 on the first; the sound of collecting an artifact is nearly reaching the satisfaction status of the achievement unlocked sound lol

[Flinty]

I thought Lego Batman was a hidden character in the games?

[Dogg Thang]

Not to my knowledge, though there is a playable

character.
