\"LegoLego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
\n<\/u><\/strong>Year: 2008
\nRating: E10+
\nTime Played: ~20 hours<\/p>\n

Indiana Jones<\/em> is one of those franchises that I enjoyed growing up, but was probably a bit too adult for me. Considering the amount of graphic violence that popped up in these films, it was easy to just “look away” during these intense moments. Heck, I hadn’t even seen Temple of Doom<\/em> (1984) until I had moved out on my own. It then seems weird to me that there would be a Lego video game based on this trilogy that’s aimed at older children when the movies themselves probably should have been PG-13.<\/p>\n

In terms of gameplay, Lego Indiana Jones<\/em> is still the same fun, simple, and mindless kind of game that encourages multiple play-throughs of the levels to collect all the items from three movies’ worth of plot. This felt a bit more tedious in this game when compared to the six-film collection in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga<\/em>. It also felt like there weren’t nearly as many unique characters to choose from in this game compared to the Star Wars<\/em> one that only came out a year prior.<\/p>\n

Was this game fun? Sure, but I probably didn’t need to suffer through completing the whole thing. The fact that there was a sequel that came out a year later and only added The Crystal Skull<\/em> made this game feel less necessary. Graphically, I also found this game to be lacking, even though I played it on a PS3 and the Star Wars<\/em> game on a Wii. Still, if you have a young boy who has loved watching the parts of the Indiana Jones<\/em> movies that aren’t too scary, this game should be right up their alley.<\/p>\n

A little lacking compared to other Lego video games, but still fun, I give Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures<\/em> 3.5 stars out of 5.<\/p>\n
