Your Favorite Hero in Lego Form LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures takes the fun and creative construction of LEGO and combines it with the wits, daring and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures that enthralled audiences everywhere (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). With a unique tongue-in-cheek take on the original adventures, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones escapades through the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India. Fans can build, battle and brawl their way through their favorite cinematic moments, from Indy’s entanglements with snakes to his dashing boulder run.

 FUN FOR ALL AGES November 26, 2008
William E. Arledge III (Columbus, OH USA)
This game is a blast for kids and and adults too. As you play through the game you can unlock over 60 different characters to use which always make it interesting. You can even create your own person by combining assorted body parts in design mode. There are many different types of weapons and tools that you can use as well. You kids will learn teamwork and some puzzle solving skills as well. The game really makes you feel like you are along side Indiana Jones and involved in the adventures yourself. I have a 5 year old and a 7 year old and they both love this game. It is great because they can play alone or together at the same time.
 Gets Boring Pretty Soon November 18, 2008
singh2005 (Boston, MA (USA))
This game was fun to begin but it got boring pretty soon. I ended up trading it in in less than 2 weeks. I'm not saying that this is a bad game, but the overall game quality is not any better than those plenty of downloadable games available on PSN. And they are much much cheaper. The biggest reason this gets 2 stars from me is I can not justify the $[...] price. Maybe I'll recommend it for $[...].
excellent choice! October 8, 2008
single dad
DON'T be put off by "lego" and assume it's for pre-schoolers...it's very clever, not blood n' guts violent, sufficiently challenging, a really good choice. my two 11 year old sons love it, and often gravitate towards it rather than the more "mature", violent stuff. the lego star wars is very excellent, too. maybe better.
Doesn't live up to Lego Star Wars October 8, 2008
Amanda Hooser
Or maybe I'm just a bigger fan of Star Wars than of the Indian Jones franchise. This game is incredibly cute, I have actually ordered a Lego playset just so I can have a Lego Sean Connery on my desk at work. It was fun, and I constantly found myself saying, "ooh look, they got that in from the movie!" I thought the treasures were more difficult to find in this game than in the Star Wars games, and the occasional odd angle of viewing made it hard to aim the characters for jumps, making it nearly impossible for my 5 yr old to play alone. Mom had to come "help" for most of the game, not that I minded in the least. I found a few glitches, one being during the race for the ark where you are jumping from truck to truck. After killing all the Nazi's, it still wouldn't allow us to drive the truck, and after about 5 minutes of just riding on the top we finally had to look up a walkthrough online just to see what we were supposed to do. After leaving that scene, it worked fine when we came back to it later. There was another scene that had this same type of error, something missing that was there when we left that scene and then went back later, but I can't remember where it was now. I have to rate it four stars, because, while it was fun, it just didn't have that same level of "wow" to me.
Fun for Kids and Adults September 11, 2008

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this primarily for my two boys, ages 5 and 7. Both of them are avid Lego Star Wars players, so I felt confident they would enjoy Indiana Jones. It was a hit with them. My older son went to task clearing the levels. My younger son enjoys the occasional level run or just toying around with custom characters. With infinite lives, he's free to explore as he likes without a 'GAME OVER' spoiling his fun.
Truth be told, I enjoyed playing the game as well. As an adult I found the game rather elementary. However, the nostalgia factor was there, the humor quite enjoyable, and the challenge level suitable as a 'casual' game.
As a parent, there is some concern that most conflicts in the game are solved through violence (bloodless, Lego violence). Also, the movies have some creepy themes (ritual sacrifice, melting Nazis, monkey brains, etc.), but the visceralness is toned down and often covered up by humor. I think the worst was the smiling monkey head being served with its brain exposed. It sounds disturbing, but just looked silly. So far, no complaints of bad dreams from the kids. Just boyish giggles and 'GROSS!'
