Following the huge success of the Star Wars Lego based games, Lucasarts and UK developer Traveller’s Tales went on and did the only financial sensible thing there was: they released a Lego Indiana Jones game. It’s -unsurprisingly- a game roughly following the same arcade/adventure formula its Star Wars prequels did, thus a game focusing on simple yet enjoyable puzzles, lots of collecting stuff, lots of jumping around, lots of cartoon fighting and lots of hidden/unlockable content. Oh, and as you may have all ready guessed, it also happens to be a game taking players through the original three Indy films, though in a slightly censored, obviously kids-friendly fashion.

Each of the three movies is broken down in 6 stages, starting from an easier one and ending with a relatively tougher, and can be played through with an impressive variety variety of characters. Then again, as Indiana Jones is the only truly iconic one, well, I kind of fail to see the point. Nice touch nonetheless. As of course are the mini-levels, Lego city and score of other unlockables, despite the fact that the Star Wars games had more to offer in this area.

Now, as the graphics, sounds, cutscenes and controls are all great (no, really) and the game does indeed offer a proper Indy atmosphere, there’s no reason why you (especially if you are a kid, that is) wont enjoy Indy’s Wii adventures. Then again, you’re better off tracking down and playing the excellent adventure that was Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
