Lego Indiana Jones The Original Adventures.

Not to my knowledge, though there is a playable

character.

There are also a few hidden ones too - I have so far freed a

C3PO and a Skywalker

Plus I've even been in the

Mos Eisley Cantina - the music is fantastic in there too, especially once you complete the mini-task!

You need to find

C3P0, Chewi, Luke, Leia and R2D2

to be able to purchase

Han Solo

Odd the

five characters you listed

aren't playable. But then I guess it is Lego Indy so anything else is just a bonus.

[Asholay]

Yeah, you would have thought if they'd made models, they'd at least go through the slight extra effort of animating and including them..?

Must have easily clocked up 5 hours of the DS version of this yesterday, absolutely fantastic game.

I find that the humour works a lot better with this one than the star wars ones.

So far ive completed the first two films and its absolutely superb, the temple of doom levels are just so well designed, the way you stay in the same area for a while and start to slowly unravel the secrets in the area.

Replay wise as well im looking forward to unlocking a lot of stuff, just trying to save up enough studs to unlock

Just fully finished it, 1000/1000. Some of the artifacts were buggers to find and a few of the achievements were a chore but other than that it was ace.

Really enjoyed it but can't see me going back to it now so it's getting traded in tomorrow.

Got the DS version yesterday, Loving it so far, I am definately going to pick this up on the 360 now and get some achievements. It is SO MUCH FUN!!!!

The music as well, when I switched it on for the first time I nearly shat with excitement.

[merf]

did the whole of the first movie with my son yesterday, really like the whole lego thing in this and the star wars game, just wish they could sort out some of the fiddly controls and dodgy ways you can slide off platforms to your death whilst not actually pressing anything to move.

i also find some of the levels hard to place certain items in 3d.

good little game though and still love the legoised cut scenes.

[Dogg Thang]

I love this game. Most fun game out at the moment I reckon. They've managed to squeeze a crazy amount of gameplay into the little levels without overcomplicating things. Yeah, I've fallen off stuff way too easily but, for me, it gets away with it due to the insta-respawn system.

[merf]

but death costs me studs and my rampant OCD kicks in, i have to hoover thru every level finding all the stud I can and smashing everything with my spade (i always have to be player 2 and carry the rubbish gear, my boy wants to be Indy)

I don't want to lose the precious studs once they are mine.

[Dogg Thang]

Ah, yes, I can understand your frustration then. I'm a bit of a lazy gamer and once I get the True Adventurer thing (which seems really easy to do) then I'm happy.

Actually, in this one studs seem easy to collect and the characters don't cost all that much to buy. Lego SW had some ridiculous costs and I found it harder to amass the studs.

[Brats]

If you're going for everything, ignore buying any characters except for the ones you have to (like a Thugee for the statues) and just concentrate on going for the 2x and 4x extras. Once you have those, the rest fall like a sack of spuds.

I love it how these games allow you to stack the multiplers, so that once you get them all, a single blue stud gives you 3,840,000 studs!

Quick tip. If you have the multipliers on, don't skip past the bit where it gives you the blue coins for finding all the artifacts in the level. if you press A, you only get 50,000 studs. if you let it run, with all multipliers you get 192 million studs!

[MikeF]

didn't know that, I was just using the x10 multiplier on its own

[egparadigm]

Just got cravings in the last few days for a Lego game. Just bought a copy for Wii – hit the spot right away. I don't know why I find these games so much fun – I hate collectathons, but these games hypnotise me!

[egparadigm]

How exciting: Indy fights mini-figs on top of moving trucks, before diving into the cab, chasing the escaping artifact and eventually catching up and smashing the ark-laden vehicle into the Nazi Volkswagen... It's an action set piece the likes of which I may never see again. Such magnificent direction!
