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. Of course, pop culture’s most iconic archaeologist will whip through all the classic moments with the help of a host of supporting characters including Marion Ravenwood and Short Round. Players can also mix and match the body parts of more than 60 playable characters to create new heroes just as they could in the best-selling LEGO Star Wars games. | Key Features

Standard USB gamepads won't work July 4, 2008
The standard USB gamepads most people already own for use on their PC will not work with Lego Indiana Jones. For some reason (bad programming), a basic USB gamepad like the Logitech Precision gamepad, which has 10 buttons and an up/down/left/right stick is not sufficient for this game. This doesn't mean that you can use the gamepad, but just miss a few functions; it means you CANNOT actually play the game at all with this gamepad, it won't let you start. Read the official LucasArts forums for more details. Here are a couple good responses from Lucasarts: remember that this is a basic game, not a flight simulator or WoW.
"That controller does meet the minimum number of inputs required for LEGO Indiana Jones."
"The game supports dual-analog gamepads,
Required number of controller inputs:
2 analog sticks (4 axes) and 11 buttons
or
1 analog stick (2 axes) and 15 buttons
or
19 buttons."
 A lot of fun July 3, 2008
This game is a ton o' fun and made us want to buy the Lego Star Wars games.
A very exciting game! July 1, 2008
In this game you can play throughout the scenes of the classic Indiana Jones movies, but with the perspective of a LEGO Mini-Figure.
If you enjoy playing with LEGO Bricks, watching the Indiana Jones movies, or if you enjoy playing a fun and challenging game, then you would find LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures to be an interesting experience!
Like the LEGO Star Wars games, you can interact with LEGO Bricks, play through the movies, solve puzzles that are both challenging and fun, buy special characters and powers, collect special items, and battle enemies with your friend.
However, there are actions that you can't perform in the Star Wars games that you can perform in this game. You can pick up and carry objects, defeat enemies and solve problems with your whip, dig up objects, fix mechanical objects, climb,and shimmy along walls.
Certain characters have special abilities (Indy can use the whip, Willie can scream very loudly, etc). Some characters have phobias (Indy is afraid of snakes, so he would not perform well when he is close to snakes.) Bonus levels can be unlocked by collecting Artifacts (a new form of Mini-kits). There are also many secrets in the very levels of the game.
Overall, this is a very good game and I highly recommend it.

 Don't buy it just yet! July 1, 2008
Last Christmas we got our son the Star Wars game and he absolutely loved it! So when this one came out we got it too. Unless you are extremely computer literate, do not buy this game just yet. The game worked great for the first 3 days and after that (as you get higher in the levels) it starts acting up. My husband is a computer wiz, so I have great support at home, but even then it takes hours to figure out what now? The game itself is great, but it's so frustating that for the first time ever I thought about writing a negative review to warn people to wait. Again, this only applies to the Windows PC game.
 turn down settings June 30, 2008
Its a great continuation of the Lego game series. Like others I had problems getting the game to run properly. After I turned down the settings it runs fine. This game has way more graphics going on than the Star Wars games remember the Star Wars series is a few years old. Makes sense that the newer game would demand more of your computer. Check to make sure your computer is up to snuff and don't assume if you were able to get Lego Star Wars to work fine that Indiana Jones would be the same. Its a fun game, I can't wait for Lego Batman.
