The Catholic Game Nerd

So many games would fit into the Lego ________ formula. If you haven't played either of the Lego Star Wars, first of all, WHY IN THE WORLD NOT?  Second, you will not be disappointed with the Lego platformer.  You have a week to play some Lego Star Wars before Lego Indiana Jones hits the store shelves.  

I've been able to get some hands on time with this game (PC version), and I was extremely satisfied.  Gameplay elements such as destructible and interactive environments will be familiar to Lego Star Wars veterans, as is player attributes making a difference in solving the games many puzzles.  Even with so many familiar elements, the game still feels fresh.  I didn't feel as though I was playing Lego Star Wars with Indiana Jones people.  

Graphics are crisp and colorful and the controls are super responsive.  It is a lot of fun to swing that whip as Indiana Jones, swinging over chasms with ease, then laying the smacketh down upon thine enemies.  Fun for all.

And even though we're going to have the original Indiana Jones trilogy on this game, I'm not the least bit worried about letting my kids play.  They are not allowed to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark because of the last scene.  They can't watch The Temple of Doom because of the whole human sacrifice thing.  I don't have a copy of The Last Crusade, so they can't watch that either.  Even so, there is no problem with this game.  No blood.  No worries.  All "violence" is Lego style.  Your people don't even die.  This is a very family friendly title.  

Will I have a copy of Lego Indiana Jones on release day?  You better believe it. 

I give Lego Indiana Jones (multiple platforms) 5 Mola Rams out of 5.

Reserve your copy today.  I have a feeling this one is going to sell quickly.
