lego indiana jones xbox360 review

I recently completed lego I.J. for the 360, and I enjoyed it very much.

first off, the visuals:
as you know from other lego games, everything is...lego! very nice graphics, designers manage to blend lego with realistic stuff, see the picture below:

look closely. some parts of the enviroment are entirely lego, and others very realistic. anyway, it was a good idea, as having entire levels designed entirely out of lego would be somewhat brain numbing.

next, the gameplay.

fairly simple controls, use the R stick to move indy, and the L stick for the camera (witch, though it is unlike third person cameras, does help when trying to find mini kits and stuff.)
different characters have different weapons, moves (such as marion can jump high) and appearances.

the cut scenes are somewhat funny, and with a few pop culture references, such as when indy pulls out C3P0's head and shows it to the russians.

finnaly, extras.
as with other lego games after lego star wars II, you can mix and match lego bodyparts you have unlocked and create your own lego guy to tear it up in free play.
there is also the option of co-op, but *cough* its easier to *cough* just let the coms *cough* do it for you *cough*.

verdict:

GOOD: more lego!

BAD: more lego...

7.8 outa ten

  1. yeah I agree, i totaly think the blend of lego and realistic scenes is great, although i think you forget to mention the sucky combat gameplay which is no challenge at all and very annoying but apart from that I totally agree
