Video Games : Lego: Indiana Jones (PC DVD)

Rating: - Great addition to the series!
This game retains everything that made the Star Wars games great and importantly adds so much more.

I am afraid I have to disagree with the previous reviewer, my Xbox 360 controller works with it perfectly and the load times are less than two minutes and bearing in mind my PC is over 4 years old (although admittedly the graphics card was upgraded 6 months ago) it seems to me that the problems are not with the game.

Graphics are beautiful, gameplay is charming and the LEGO take on the stories is very amusing.

Rating: - massively disappointing
Being a huge fan of the "Lego - Star Wars" game, I was very keen to give the Indiana Jones a try, however I have pretty much given up before finishing the first level. The spark that made the Star Wars game so entertaining just seems to be missing. Here are a few of the problems I have encountered:

It is not possible to use a joypad as the setup menu demands you assign more buttons than actually exist on the pad. This means you have to use the keyboard, which is very unwieldy, and makes 2 players an impossibility.

I found much of the screen too dark to see the action properly.

The menu system is also unwieldy - it seems to take forever to just quit.

The game takes about 5 mins to load up (compared to Lego Star wars which only takes about 30 secs on my pc). I have given up a couple of times & rebooted.

Overall, very disappointing when compared to the Star Wars game, which was so easy to use and massively entertaining. I admit that I have not played more than the first level of Indiana Jones, but I really can't be bothered to struggle on.

Hope this is useful!
