 Not at all good for younger players. January 24, 2010

This series has always been a hit with my now-seven-year-old, but with this chapter it has stopped. Confusing level design, horrendous difficulty spikes and the most uncontrollable vehicles you've ever seen. Coupled with the removal of a central hub this has become a bewildering, charmless mess with so little user-friendliness it's virtually begging you not to play it.
Do not buy this game for under-tens, even if (or especially if) they loved the prequel, or the Star Wars episodes. And if you're over ten there's much better games to spend your money on. My son and I are very disappointed.

It's rare that I'm moved to write a review - but with such a low score for such an excellent game I thought this needed redressing.
My wife and I have played all of the lego games, and reading the reviews on here I was against getting this one, but my wife persisted and I'm glad she did as bar Star Wars this is the best in the series so far (and far superior to the previous Indy outing).
Rather than the complaint that the split screen ruins co-operative play, it's a brilliant move forward, as all previous versions meant that one character moving too far from the other could drag you along with them and make you die if you then fell off a platform, now you can move around with complete freedom, knowing that you're not going to accidentally kill your partner.
The complaint that there's no central hub and that it's not obvious what your achievement is, is ridiculous the 'boxes in the warehouse' show you which sub-games have been completed, whether you've achieved True Adventurer on them or not, along with the characters unlocked in that section, the special bricks found, and the percentage acheived - there's never been so much information.
Yes the hub is different but there's now effectively two hubs - the warehouse where you choose which section to enter, and the 'village / camp / town' (or where-ever depending on the section you're completing), which is more akin the hubs of old - where you can enter the game that you want to, while at the same time these are areas where you can solve puzzles, complete races etc. in their own right, making the experience more interactive - if anything the old hubs were far more pointless, as while they offered the opportunity to pick up a few studs, they were mainly areas that you had to wander through to find the level that you wanted - now there's so much more to do in the area.
It's true that you can't just buy the character anymore, and you have to unlock them before you can buy them - but to me this makes it more part of the game that you do have to work to get them, so get more of a sense of acheivement - if you want to get the characters easily then I'm sure you can just go online and find some cheat codes for them - but to me it's far more fun and fulfilling to unlock them in extra tasks.
If you want to replay the same section but with different characters you can do - it's just not called that anymore.
In the level creator you can select the level, keep or change the objective of the level (so change it to finding an anubis statue instead of the ark of the covenant or so on), and then select the characters you want to include - so when you play it you get the characters that you chose, plus the original characters you would initially have played it with.
What this game offers right the way through is a level of interactivity that we haven't seen before - apart from the warehouse hub everything is part of the game and part of the experience - there's never been quite so much to do.
There are obviously changes in this game to the formats we've been used to in the previous lego games - but for me these are all for the better.

I appreciate games do have to move on, but this is a classic example of "don't try mending something that isn't broken".....I think the first Indy Lego was the weakest of all the lego games, especially in comparison to SW and the fantastic Batman, but this Indy is even worse....
The game has no central hub and once completed in story mode takes an eternity to add any extra percentage complete onto it....you cannot change at will into the character you want, instead hunting around for ages looking for that dude with the bazooka. The vehicle levels are even worse...there is more control in real life on snow and ice to be honest! the extras cost a small fortune so you can unlock them but never seem to be able to buy them...
any I'm bored of this game now and about to move onto a new one, which is rare I usually finish all the games I have, but I'd thought I would warn people against buying this - if you don't have it buy Lego Batman instead, even if you are not a Batman fan....
Just to add, baed on this i certainly will nt be buying Harry Potter Lego either....

Lego Indiana Jones 2 is good but I dont think it is as good as the
first one. The levels are much harder and confusing however it is
a good game!
