Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

Review by MegaModelZXA

"Want Fun? Well, You Found it!"

Lego Indiana Jones is a very creative and exciting. There are fun puzzles and loads of action. This game is one of the best DS games and I'm here to explain to you why.

Game play:
The game play is extremely simple and easy. You use the control pad to move and buttons to attack, character's special ability, to jump, and to switch between up to 8 different partners. It also uses the DS's touch screen and microphone. You use the touch screen to perform puzzles and to use abilities. The microphone is for blowing out things such as a torch.

There are lots of characters, most you have to unlock buy buying them which isn't really a problem because you need to beat each level twice and complete all quests. That should earn you a lot of money so you'll have all the characters quickly. Mostly the characters are people in different outfits such as Indiana Jones has a tuxedo.

Story:
Well the story goes like this: You pick one of the three story lines (from the three Indiana Jones movies) and follow it. There is no dialogue so if you haven't watched any of the Indiana Jones movies than you won't understand what's going on but you'll still have fun playing the game.

Sound: The music is very simple and unique. Every time you enter somewhere a sound plays to let you know you have advanced to the next map which is nice because most people often get lost. Also, the music matches the place's background such as when you are in a sewer it plays unhappy music. In addition, when enemies are near you (yes there is a little violence) they play a warning music to alert you that there is an enemy near you which is nice since I know people get killed and don't know how.

Graphics: The graphics are excellent when you are playing the game but when you are watching a scene from the game, it gets a little blurry but nothing to worry about; it isn't that bad.

Overall: Lego Indiana Jones is a very easy to control game with includes the excellent movie plots from the original Indiana Jones movies. The graphics are not bad and the music is superb. I recommend this game to all Lego fans and mostly to everyone who likes to have a good time playing video games.
