“Gaaarrrrrrrrrr!” I have just fallen to yet another death because my stupid AI partner was standing right where I wanted to land, and if you play this game you can be assured that you will meet the same painful fate. It seems ludicrous to me that the game does not know that when I’m standing on a switch to turn off the floor of deadly spikes on front of me and switch to the other character to leg it across, I do not want them to move from the switch with me half way across! “Gaaarrrrrrrrrr!”, the only way to solve this particular conundrum is to plug in your second controller and do the best you can simultaneously moving two characters at once! (I do have some experience in that area as my GF decided that N+ was too frustrating in coop so I controlled both guys at once with some success!)
However despite these constant irritants I find it hard o knock a game this charming, I mean come on it’s Indiana Jones, in LEGO! The feeling displayed by the simple facial expressions of the thankfully mute characters immediately make the acting better than that of Shia LaBeouf in the travesty that was “The Crystal Skull”.
So while the puzzles swing wildly between insanely easy and impenetrably hard, the game is just so cool, the way the enemies explode into their component LEGO parts when you hit them, the tiny LEGO guns you could spend hours looking for as a child and the charming cut scenes all add up to a pretty good game (and not just for kids).
Final Score
7/10
