“If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones.” So says the Temple of Doom movie poster, and–Lara Croft notwithstanding–Indiana Jones is still synonymous with glory, romance, treasure, and adventure. Previous Indiana Jones games were produced by the graphic-adventure game masters at LucasArt… More >>

This is one the best games yet! You don’t have to worry about saving the game because it saves by itself. it’s not like Halo where all you do is kill it’s more of a game where you have to find your way through life threatning obsticals. If you don’t buy this game or don’t even rent it you are very stupid!!
Rating: 4 / 5
this seems like a good game overall except for all the bugs. there are serious programing errors. the game locks up periodically and does not let you continue. this is especially frustrating when you complete a level and have to start it over when the cut scene crashes. lucasarts probably should have playtested it more. without the bugs i would say 4 stars.

Very good gameplay.Controls– fluid.Graphics A-ok. I just can’t say the game was too exciting though. Too much walking around. Although if you like Tomb Raider. (which I did not,);Sorry crazy tomb-raider like people. ..GO for it. My pick for best X-box game of the last couple weeks is Medal of Honor. Awesome game, I can’t say enuf. Advice. Toke a few hits on a “tobacco pipe,” for some excitement. Nuff said. Not me cup o’ tea.

PROS:
1. GOOD FIGHT ANIMATIONS-really captures Indy’s wild, drunken fighting style. I also loved how Indy’s hat would fall off after he would get punched many times.
2. GOOD CHOICE OF WEAPONS-a nice touch is the ability to use weapons dropped from your enemies.
3. MUSIC-John Williams’ classic score is integrated well during key points of action.
CONS:
1. MEDIOCRE GRAPHICS-the textures are muddy. So much so that I had to increase the sharpness level of my TV just to make sure it wasn’t causing the problem. Again, XBox owners get leftovers from a PS2 ported game.
2. HORRID FRAME RATE-the game stutters all over the place when there are more than two enemies on the screen at once.
3. HORRID COLLISION DETECTION-Indy and enemies will magically teleport through walls and floors
4. BLOCKY PLAYER MOVEMENT-despite the good fighting animations, Indy’s movements tend to skip a few frames.
5. UNINSPIRED CUT SCENES USING IN-GAME GRAPHICS-the cut scenes would have been negligible had the graphics engine been more than decent. Whatever happened to CGI, movie-quality cut scenes?
6. RIGID VOICE ACTING-the actor playing Indy sounds exactly like Harrison Ford’s tired drawl. However, he also sounds like he’s reading the script rather than acting it out. The same goes for the other voice actors.
7. REPETITIOUS LEVEL DESIGN-there’s too much emphasis on jumping from ledge to ledge and swimming.
8. BUGS, BUGS, BUGS, I HATE BUGS!-the game tends to freeze every once in awhile which is inexcusable. Lucasarts’ quality assurance department should be fired.
*1/2 OUT OF ****

Pretty fun. Shoot up and whack bad guys, climb walls and ladders, and find your way through many fun levels.
