Detailed and specific, informative and entertaining fun Action all the way.Great for kids and well recommended.
 Nice just like the first one, but possibly a bit worse. December 25, 2009

Lego Indiana Jones 2 is simply a sequel to the first one, which was a great game!
It captured the essence of Indiana Jones as an enjoyable/engaginc piece of work mixed with the humour and innocence of LEGO games -- all with a simple and family-friendly environment and gameplay, in which there were easily tolerable flaws.
The second game is another retake on the brand, mostly focused on the 4th movie: The Atomic Fridge... sorry! I meant, Crystal Skull.
This retake is done with some interesting plot changes, in which even an ice cream truck came into the scene at the beginning -- typical LEGO style! -- but the levels, for some reason, are much more simple and not so fun to play, mostly because they are generally much much smaller, less creative and the gaming experience isn't fluid at all, unlike the previous games in the LEGO series by Traveler's Tales -- and, for me, these are quite some issues.
The levels are structured differently, too. Now there are small worlds in which the levels are distributed, just like a small island with some houses being the levels -- to sum it all up, it's basically like GTA. There are nice vehicles and additional challenges and secrets, but finding the levels seems to be a bit too hard or just boring. I miss the simple structure in which there was less to explore in the main map but levels were easy to find and replay!
The retake on the first 3 movies in this game seems more like a bunch of bloopers, in which there was no intent of resuming the story, but making fun of some scenes! That's ok: even though it's not as funny as the first game, at least it's something different! But the levels aren't well thought: most of them are quick scenes of pointless boss fights or one of many car chases, none of them a strong point in favour of the game itself, since they were never really well done in any LEGO game!
The creator mode adds some length, but the game is funny for its references and humor, not creative capabilities, which are limited and complex here! Yes, it's fun to make our own character, but that's enough! It "ain't" nice to spend a lot of time doing a square-shaped level with nothing special on it!
To sum it all up, it's a good game, but easily the worst of all in the series -- including Star Wars and Batman chapters. The fact that the screen may split in two when the two players are too far away from each other is a nice inclusion, but between that and a smoother frame, I'd go for the last one!
As usual, the product was shipped fast and in perfect condition by Amazon.
Lego Indy 2 is more of the same - excellent fun! November 28, 2009

I've been playing this for the last few days and I saw the review average (2 stars?!) which had to be corrected.
 Indiana Jones and the incredibly boring gaming experience November 23, 2009

Not a very catchy title but it's what they should have called it, it would have given fare warning to all those who have loved the Lego games up till now and forked out £30 thinking it would be a safe bet this would be another great game.
Everything that made the Lego games great is gone or has been changed.
No central hub to keep check of all your levels, you now have boxes in a warehouse they really don't tell you very much about your progress, perhaps a degree in cryptology would help, sadly I don't have one so will just have to have a guess at what I need to do / collect then.
You start each level in a free roaming village / camp / town, you wander aimless round and round trying to find a entrance to the story, once you one you get quick very boring levels, two particular high lights are the level where you drive round the jungle for what seems like hours trying to shoot some phantom cars that never appear while a red arrow directs you in a circle till you get so frustrated you throw the controller at the cat and the level where you have to stick cones on top of holes, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat till you decide it would be more fun to clean the toilet.
Once you complete these tedious levels can you go back in and free play (the best feature of the Lego games), no you can't you can repeat the level with same characters but no free play fun and when the levels are this dull why would you want to repeat them and get a better time?!
Press continue story and you don't continue the story, you will get thrown back to the village / camp / town and spend another 15 minutes (if you're lucky) wandering round trying to find the next door to the next level.
There are some bonus levels you can unlock in the free roam village / town's, but you have to have the correct characters to play them, which you can't buy from a central shop anymore so you can't instantly play these in a free play style, you will now have to wander round the village / town for hours trying to find the right person or item then go back in and find you've only got one character right so set off again to find the next one. It's so tedious that at one point while wandering round for hours trying to find a shovel I actually nodded off, I've played some rubbish games before but I've never come across one that actually bores you to sleep.
They've also managed to ruin the two player aspect, you used to be able to play together as a team now the second you stray a few paces away from your friend the screen splits into two tiny triangles so you can't see a thing and end up just doing your own thing in your triangle.
All in all one of the most frustrating, boring and confusing gaming experiences I've ever had, which is made even worst by the fact that all the other Lego games are amazing.
I've really been looking forward to Harry Potter Lego in 2010, but if it's anything like just Id rather watch paint dry thanks.
 Some sequel! November 21, 2009

Nowhere else to register this complaint - but how can they bring out a continuation of a PS2 game without including a PS2 version?
My children really want this for Christmas, but even if we had the money to buy a new console I wouldn't. The pressure to throw away perfectly good consoles by excluding them from new games is so off-putting.
