LEGO Indiana Jones: The Video Game

[IrishJedi]

Traveller's Tales did such an amazing job with the Star Wars games, that I have nothing but the highest of hopes for this (and the upcoming "Batman" version as well):

[Bardoon]

This game (and Lego Batman) are going to rock! :rock

[IrishJedi]

OT: I heard that the LEGO Batman game will include all the incarnations of Batman... from the early comics, to the 60's show, to the Burton movies to the new movies. And that rocks. :rock

Can't wait to play the INDY game. This style of game is perfect for Indy.

[Shai Hulud]

thread rated....this guy is spamming.What a moronic name dropper.

[Bannister]

OT: I heard that the LEGO Batman game will include all the incarnations of Batman... from the early comics, to the 60's show, to the Burton movies to the new movies. And that rocks. :rock

Can't wait to play the INDY game. This style of game is perfect for Indy.

Awesome. We will get campy Batman, Burton Batman, Gay Bat Nipple Batman, and Bale Batman.

[IrishJedi]

Awesome. We will get campy Batman, Burton Batman, Gay Bat Nipple Batman, and Bale Batman.

At least in Free Play mode you'd be able to play as Bale Batman and kick Gay Bat Nipple Batman's ass. :lol

[The Josh]

Looking forward to this with very high expectations. The SW games are quite cool and have been a blast to play over and over. I love how on the CS SW game you can play as Indy which I've done several times now.

I'll get the Batman one too just because these Lego games are just mindless fun.

[IrishJedi]

We need to play SW: TCS co-op on LIVE sometime. :rock

I'll assume that the INDY and BATMAN games will also have drop-in online co-op modes as well.

[The Josh]

Yeah, we need too. Was hoping I would have time during my break but that didn't happen.

I hope so cause these games are perfect for online play if you just want to screw around.

[IrishJedi]

I can't wait to see how Traveller's Tales handles the Mola Ram heart-ripping scene. :lol

[The Josh]

I can't wait to see how Traveller's Tales handles the Mola Ram heart-ripping scene. :lol

That will be funny no doubt. :lol

[pixletwin]

awesome dude. simply awesome

[The Josh]

awesome dude. simply awesome

I agree :D

[IrishJedi]

Me, too. :monkey3

Seriously, though... some of the puzzles in the SW games were pretty clever. You have to imagine that they will up their game for INDY given the subject matter.

[The Josh]

There are some parts of the SW games that really pissed me off with trying to figure that stuff out. Which means the Indy ones will probably just add more 2 that. :lol

[IrishJedi]

Well, as long as they keep it honest to the mythos of the movies I'm fine with it. In other words, many of the puzzles in the SW games had you rely on your knowledge of the characters to figure out. I really like that about it.

[The Josh]

Oh yeah! Keep it to where you have to know something about the characters is the way it should be. Going the other way with these games is a fear because they do tend to be more on the goofy side of things.

[tomandshell]

I will definitely be picking this up to play through with my son. We have had a lot of fun playing the Lego Star Wars games and I'm looking forward to this a well. I had a good time playing the Lego Star Wars game with the unlockable Indy character and hitting stormtroopers with my bullwhip.

:rock :rock :rock

Yeah, I enjoyed playing this with my son as well. He likes for me to play as Jango with him as Boba. One day I inadvertently killed him and earned 10 Gamer Points for doing so. :lol

Tom, you should join Josh and myself for some LEGO fun on LIVE sometime.

[tomandshell]

I have had so little video game time lately that I am starting to forget what those colored buttons on my controller are for. Can you have more than two players at the same time on live?

[IrishJedi]

I have had so little video game time lately that I am starting to forget what those colored buttons on my controller are for. Can you have more than two players at the same time on live?

Darn it, I didn't think about that. I think co-op is limited to 2 players, whether online or off. :monkey2 Still, we should play sometime. The INDY and BATMAN versions, too!

[tomandshell]

When is Batman coming out?

[IrishJedi]

When is Batman coming out?

Not until Fall of 2008, I believe. LEGO Indy will be out this Spring/Summer.

[The Josh]

This friend of mine son played Lego SW with me the other day using Indy killing people with the whip and shooting them with Bullets is awesome!!

[IrishJedi]

Indy's revolver takes out Stormtroopers rather easily, actually. :monkey3

[The Josh]

Indy's revolver takes out Stormtroopers rather easily, actually. :monkey3

Plus he's more accurate than stormies. :lol

[IrishJedi]

True. I noticed that the Stormtroopers are much less accurate with the blasters than any other playable characters... a hilarious touch. :lol

[The Josh]

True. I noticed that the Stormtroopers are much less accurate with the blasters than any other playable characters... a hilarious touch. :lol

I noticed that as well. A nice tip of the cap I must say.

[IrishJedi]

Have you unlocked the "Lego City" mode yet?

[The Josh]

Have you unlocked the "Lego City" mode yet?

No, I don't think so. I haven't gotten to play it as much as I would like since I got it.

[IrishJedi]

You have to collect a lot of the gold bricks and then "build" the different game portals in the bonus cantina room. There are about 6 additional playable game levels in there.

[The Josh]

Right it was something similar in the last one too. I just haven't gotten to play it that much since I got it. :(

[MadCow]

This friend of mine son played Lego SW with me the other day using Indy killing people with the whip and shooting them with Bullets is awesome!!

In which version of Lego SW do you get to use Indy? I don't remember him from 1 or 2...

[The Josh]

He's an unlockable in the new complete one that came out a couple months ago.

[IrishJedi]

Right. He's in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which includes both previous games, upgraded graphics, plus lots of other bonus stuff.

To unlock Indy, you into the Bonus Cantina room and watch the LEGO Indy trailer. After you watch it you can then purchase Indy as a playable character in the cantina (I think he's like 50,000 studs... which is pretty much nothing).

I've now unlocked all but two characters: Anakin Force Ghost and Yoda Force Ghost. But it will take about 2.5 million studs to get both of them.
I'm not sure I'm prepared to continue playing the game enough to get those. Maybe I'll just let my son play on my Gamertag. :lol

I'll just wait for the cheat code to get unlimited studs and unlock all levels

[IrishJedi]

We now have a release date: JUNE 3rd.

:rock :rock :rock :rock

[The Josh]

Sweet!! :chew

[chuck20]

that is gunna be HELLA fun. If they don't have it for wii i'll get it for PC. PC is cheaper usually too. :chew

[IrishJedi]

It's coming out for 360, Wii, PC, PS2 and PS3.

[IrishJedi]

Also announced. New title (now Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, which can mean only 1 thing: Sequel) and new cover art:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61o51K%2BhDyL._SS500_.jpg

[chuck20]

Fun stuff. Between this and Lego Batman, I'm gunna be playing a lot of lego games come summer/fall:chew

[uscmhicks]

you know what I want ??.

:rock Lego Hellboy :rock

[chuck20]

that would be ridiculously amazing.

[tomandshell]

So I take it from the title that the game won't include material from the new movie...

:monkey2

[The Josh]

The console game will.

[thedarkknight]

The console game will.

Were did you hear that? Acording to all the video game sites I've seen, it will only be Raiders thru Last Crusade.

[The Josh]

Were did you hear that? Acording to all the video game sites I've seen, it will only be Raiders thru Last Crusade.

I thought I read someplace it will have stuff from the new game on it.

[Agent0028]

My little cousin likes the Star Wars Lego games, maybe I will get this one and/or Batman so we have something new to play when he comes over.

[hairlesswookiee]

Were did you hear that? Acording to all the video game sites I've seen, it will only be Raiders thru Last Crusade.
there is a completely different game coming out that is based off of the new movie.

[IrishJedi]

The other INDY game has been severely delayed thanks to LucasArts caring only about "The Force Unleashed". :emperor

[chuck20]

that sucks balls. That Indy game needs to come out yesterday.

and wheres my Rouge Squadron 4 huh? and NO FRIGGING on fott missions EVER AGAIN!

[Blackhole]

I can't wait for this game!!

Maybe the new content will be a level from the next game...Like Lego Star Wars did with the level from ANH...

And yes, Lego Hellboy would be amazing...Lego Kroenen...:drool

[thedarkknight]

The other INDY game has been severely delayed thanks to LucasArts caring only about "The Force Unleashed". :emperor

That really made me mad when Lucasarts announced that the other day. It was first shown at e3 2006. Actually, the teased it in 2005 with concept art, if I remember correctly.

[zoid2323]

The other INDY game has been severely delayed thanks to LucasArts caring only about "The Force Unleashed". :emperor

Delayed...C'mon I was looking forward to playing it soon.:monkey2

[GuruAskew]

This isn't a "Star Wars" case where the first game ends at an obvious stopping point for a second game. When the 1-3 game came out we all knew a 4-6 game wouldn't be too far behind and it wasn't.

With Lego Indy it's totally different. We have 1 game comprising of 75% of the previous films. If that's the case than I don't see how you could make an entire game out of 1 movie. If anything, the Indy films have always had a problem lending themselves to video games compared to something like "Star Wars". Remember the "Super Star Wars" series for SNES? Each "Star Wars" episode got its own game but the equivalent Indy game had all 3 films in one.

In any case, I can see them doing two things:

#1 (the more fan-friendly way): release "KotCS" content as a premium download through Xbox Live, etc.

#2 (the more money-grubbing way): make everyone buy a "Complete Adventures" game including "KotCS" content a few months down the line.

[IrishJedi]

Honestly, I see them going the #2 route... but also adding some additional content to the INDY 1-3 levels, much like they did with the latest LEGO Star Wars release.

[Blackhole]

As long as Last Crusade is there...I'm happy...

[Deak Starkiller]

Aw, yeah!

[The Josh]

Can't wait to play this game. These Lego games crack me up.

[chuck20]

look completely inaaccurate. Looks like no fun at all




*total and complete sarcasm*

[choopie]

:lol:lol:lol

That's looks awesome. I love Mola Ram whacking Indy with his headdress. :lol

[Blackhole]

I want...I want...

:drool

[IrishJedi]

The TOD mine chase level alone promises to be some fun gaming.

[tomandshell]

Yes, I was waiting to see a shot from that level in the preview and I'm glad it was in there!

[customfig]

This game gonna be fun.

[uscmhicks]

this looks awesome :rock:rock !! Cannot wait !!

[MaulFan]

Is there any word on this coming out for MAC computers like the Star Wars LEGO games, they usually come a few months afer the standard formats, I'd really like to have it for my MAC.

[tomandshell]

Trailer looks like fun:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33893.html

[The Josh]

This game is gonna be a blast. I actually use Indy quite a bit in the SW one. The great thing about these Lego games is they are all about fun and not the over analyzing we do with games like COD 4, GOW, etc.

[MaulFan]

Ya, I've actually had more fun playing the LEGO Star Wars games than I have ones like Star Wars Battlegrounds and such, particularly because you're reenacting the movies you've come to love to a degree, I'd love to fight the Cairo Swordsman in LEGO land hehe.

[The Josh]

That and I love how just plain silly these guys react to things in the games.

[Grange Wallis]

I can't wait either... I just wish there was a demo on xbox live for me to play whilst we wait..

[DarkArtist81]

I'm really looking forward to playing this one, hopefully you can do online co op... that would rule. :rock

[Grange Wallis]

Josh that would be amazing!

[The Josh]

I'm really looking forward to playing this one, hopefully you can do online co op... that would rule. :rock

I thought I read they didn't have it in this game but I hope I'm wrong.

[DarkArtist81]

I thought I read they didn't have it in this game but I hope I'm wrong.

Me too... It would be fun as Hell to go online and play with the Freaks. Be Short Round, Henry Sr. or Marion. :lol

[The Josh]

That would rock!! :rock I'd be game thats for sure.

[MaulFan]

Me too... It would be fun as Hell to go online and play with the Freaks. Be Short Round, Henry Sr. or Marion. :lol

It'd be fun to trash talk as Short Round, I very little, cheat small, you big, cheat big haha.

[DarkArtist81]

It'd be fun to trash talk as Short Round, I very little, cheat small, you big, cheat big haha.

:lol "Play with you...no fun.. you make me poor.." :rotfl

[IrishJedi]

OXM gave it a fairly lukewarm review. Positive, but with some reservations. And the lack of online Co-Op is a real bummer (but at least LEGO Batman will have that).

[The Mike]

After loving the Star Wars Legos I could care really about any review, I'm getting this one regardless.

[IrishJedi]

Oh, same here.

BTW, this game is supposed to have tons more puzzle-solving than the SW games. And that's fine with me as I prefer that over the platform stuff any day.

[Kabukiman]

Nintendo Power gave it a 7.5. I haven't read the review though. Not that it matters.

It's Indy. It's a video game. Therefore, it's mine.

[MaulFan]

Didn't only the first Star Wars Lego game really get praise and mainly for the idea being fresh more than the actual game quality? In the modern game world, I'm sure this is looked on lesser compared to the GTA's of the world, but I find them a lot of fun and hope MAC picks it up too.

[Kabukiman]

...hope MAC picks it up too.

If it's coming, it will be made by Aspyr (http://www.aspyr.com). If you have an intel mac, you could always run the windows version with boot camp or Parallels...

[MaulFan]

If it's coming, it will be made by Aspyr (http://www.aspyr.com). If you have an intel mac, you could always run the windows version with boot camp or Parallels...

I assume Aspyr will do it, but there's always the lag between standard release and MAC. I'm on a PowerPC MAC, and not upgrading to Intel anytime soon.

[Kabukiman]

Has anyone seen any platform comparisons on this game? I think I want to get the Wii version because it will be easier for my son to control, but if there are more features on the PS3, I might be swayed to go that route.

I can't imagine the graphics would be that different platform to platform... :confused:

[tomandshell]

The Wii will not support high definition graphics, so I would never buy a game for the Wii if it was also available on the 360 or PS3. It will look ten times better in 1080p.

[darthviper107]

The Wii will not support high definition graphics, so I would never buy a game for the Wii if it was also available on the 360 or PS3. It will look ten times better in 1080p.

Most games on the Xbox 360 and PS3 are actually rendered at 720p or lower, Halo 3 in fact is rendered at 640p. This is a pretty simple game though. I would think the Wii has the power to run the same content as the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, end if it can't it's not really an issue, the key here is gameplay.

[Blackhole]

Awww man, is this eversweet...THIS GAME WILL BE MINE!!!

Of course, I need to get my exams out of the way...

[IrishJedi]

Just saw this week's Circuit City ad. If you buy it there ($49.99 there, like everywhere else) you'll get an unlockable Belloq code and a free LEGO INDY t-shirt.

Same as www.play.com, except no T-Shirt...:monkey2

And the game is £29.99...

[The Josh]

I've got mine coming from game stop. So I'll have to steal someone Belloq code.

[Blackhole]

I ordered it from www.play.com...

I'll let you have the Belloq code when I get my game...

[IrishJedi]

Got mine and have played the first three (ROTLA) levels, so far. Tons of fun and about what we all expected. LOTS of puzzle-solving, which I like.

Man, the Streets of Cairo level is a lot longer than you'd expect. :lol

[IronFingaz]

Picking mine up Friday from EB Games. They had a pre-order offer where i could trade in 3 Xbox360 games and get it for $10.

[thedarkknight]

Picked mine up at Wal-Mart at 8:00am this morning. I'm not gonna play it until the wife comes home. We are going to play it together, like we did with the Lego Star Wars games.

[IrishJedi]

This might even be a better co-op game than the Star Wars ones, as many of the puzzles require separate characters with special abilities. You guys will have a blast.

[MaulFan]

Irish, are you playing solo? How much a pain is it bouncing around from character to character solving the puzzles?

[IrishJedi]

Just finished RAIDERS.

It's actually not that much of a pain since they changed it to where you don't have to be right next to the other character to switch. Now all you have to do is hit the "Y" button from anywhere on the screen.

[monkeydad16]

This is a great game. I'm almost finished with Raiders. Who knew Lego's could be so fun?

[Joranthalus]

I'll have mine soon. Can't wait for the download to finish...

Lego Batman is coming out this fall, that should be pretty cool too :)

[The Josh]

Game is quite fun. I like how you don't have to be right next to switch as Carl said. BIG improvement IMO. Gonna have to go back and reply to get several of the treasure pieces I skipped over.

Nice, that pisses me off to no end with the Star Wars ones when all the other characters besides you are in a crowd, you have to keep cycling because you get everyone but the character you're trying to get. I really hope Aspyr develops it for MAC.

[Deak Starkiller]

This is a great game. I'm almost finished with Raiders. Who knew Lego's could be so fun?

I don't even understand that sentence. :monkey5

[DarkArtist81]

I wanted to buy this sooo bad today. I'm waiting on my stimulus money so my Wife doesn't tear my heart out. :gun

[Migwit]

Mine arrives tomorrow from Amazon, will get the pre-order bonus "Fast Dig" unlock code from Amazon in another day or so after that. Can't wait to play!!! :whip

[IrishJedi]

Heh, "Fast Dig" was the first hidden code I found while playing the game (in the Well of Souls, I think).

[Kabukiman]

Are the store exclusive codes console interchangeable? I haven't picked it up yet so I dunno what the input system is...

[Migwit]

Yeah, as "bonuses" go, this one's not that great, but I ordered from Amazon anyway because I got the game for $24.99 due to a preferred customer promo. And of course all the cheat codes are usually posted in a forum somewhere anyway... :lol

[pickard]

I picked it up at Circuit City today and got the free T-shirt. (The guy let me take a couple.)

I played for a while tonight. It's very fun, just like the SW games.

[Ashton16]

Anyone know how to get off of the first 2 convoy trucks?

It's probably something simple that I'm overlooking...but it's about to give me an aneurysm.

[BadMoon]

I wanted to buy this sooo bad today. I'm waiting on my stimulus money so my Wife doesn't tear my heart out. :gun

Plenty of other games coming out worth way more in their salt.

[tomandshell]

Target "exclusive" code: H86LA2 (Treasure Magnet)

[BadMoon]

I still don't get it. We have Ninja Gaiden II, Hulk, Borne, not to mention Metal Gear. :dunno

[The Mike]

Any pics of the free shirt? I'm interested to see what it looks like since by the time I head out this weekend there might not be any more left.

[IrishJedi]

Anyone know how to get off of the first 2 convoy trucks?

It's probably something simple that I'm overlooking...but it's about to give me an aneurysm.
You have to drive one of the trucks. You have to beat up all of the Germans until one of the drivers gets out. You then take him out and then hop in the front convoy truck and accelerate to the next group of trucks. You have to repeat this 2-3 times on that level.

I must say, this game is considerably more difficult than the SW ones in certain ways. And by that I mean young kids are going to have a heck of a hard time. The Mine Car level was giving me fits. And now I'm stuck on figuring out how to deal with Mola Ram on the rope bridge.

The LEGO Batman Trailer is included in this game, by the way. :rock

[SSC_Nerd]

I still don't get it. We have Ninja Gaiden II, Hulk, Borne, not to mention Metal Gear. :dunno
And we're playing this game? :lol
Dude, these games are magic.:gun

[IrishJedi]

There's no magic to it, really. These games are just a hell of a lot of fun and extremely entertaining. They also have more replay value than most games. Traveller's Tales is kicking ass with this LEGO series, though I hope that they make "Batman" a little more accessible for kids, like the SW games. I having to rely on real gamer instincts a bit too often in the INDY game. :lol

[DarkArtist81]

I still don't get it. We have Ninja Gaiden II, Hulk, Borne, not to mention Metal Gear. :dunno

I know what you mean... But really.. I was never a Ninja Gaiden fan, Bourne looks like it might be not as fun as it looks, Hulk I'm not sure of yet either, and MGS... well, I don't have a PS3.

Besides, this game is just fun to play.. May not be an epic story or anything like that, but it's fun. And that is all that really matters to me. :whip

[gdb]

Target "exclusive" code: H86LA2 (Treasure Magnet)

Thanks Tom! :duff

[Murderofcrows71]

Target "exclusive" code: H86LA2 (Treasure Magnet)

WalMart "exclusive" : 13NS01 wait for it.......TOHT!

[SSC_Nerd]

Not sure if it was brought up, but here's what I know.

All of these codes are for things that can be regularly unlocked during the game. I was surprised myself that they would make us buy copies at their store to have a special unlock, but then I looked into it. Bullcrap. The thing with these codes is that you can just unlock them right away. An oh yes, Circuit City has ceremonial robes Belloq. At least CC has the free shirt. WEEE!!

There's no magic to it, really. These games are just a hell of a lot of fun and extremely entertaining. They also have more replay value than most games. Traveller's Tales is kicking ass with this LEGO series, though I hope that they make "Batman" a little more accessible for kids, like the SW games. I having to rely on real gamer instincts a bit too often in the INDY game. :lol

So far, there isn't a level in the Indy game that my son can get through by himself. The puzzle solving or skills needed to finish have all been just a bit above him. I'm enjoying it when I play, but it's been a little frustrating for him compared to the Star Wars games. Not too much, just a bit.

I don't even understand that sentence. :monkey5

Holy Crap! It's Lou Ferrigno! :duh

WalMart "exclusive" : 13NS01 wait for it.......TOHT!

Thanks Murderofcrows71! :duff

[pickard]

Any pics of the free shirt? I'm interested to see what it looks like since by the time I head out this weekend there might not be any more left.

It's the same shirt that IndianaJonesShop is selling for $15: http://shop.indianajones.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=1221522

Plenty of other games coming out worth way more in their salt.

Depends on your POV though Keith.

I still don't get it. We have Ninja Gaiden II, Hulk, Borne, not to mention Metal Gear. :dunno

As has been said these games are quite a bit of fun. 2 me they're the type of games where you can sit back and just kick it. I have plenty of games or plenty of games on order where I have to really use my gamer skills. Only two of the games you listed are ones I want or will be getting. I have MG on order and probably will get Hulk but not sure.

Stop it damn it. I am trying to convince myself I don't need this. :lecture :D

[The Josh]

You know me I don't well with convincing not to buy something. :lol

[IrishJedi]

I'm pretty sure that the HULK game will be as crappy as the IRON MAN one was, unfortunately.

BOURNE looks interesting. I downloaded the demo and it's entertaining enough, but I don't know if it warrants a purchase.

As for the other two... I've never been into the MGS games and I don't have the patience for NINJA GAIDEN anymore (I'm too old and too busy to have to replay the same level 72 times in order to beat it). :p

The game on the horizon that I'm really looking forward to (since LucasArts has apparently screwed the pooch with FORCE UNLEASED) is RE5. :rock

Please don't compare Hulk to the Iron Man game. Two different animals. The last Hulk game was also fantastic. I hear you the on NG. That first game was frustrating as hell.

[IrishJedi]

I can't remember a game based on a superhero movie that was really good. Maybe "Batman Returns" for the SNES? Oh... "Spider-Man 2" was good, I guess. I'll count that.

[BadMoon]

I can't remember a game based on a superhero movie that was really good. Maybe "Batman Returns" for the SNES? And "Spider-Man 2" was all right, I guess.

Look up the old reviews for the last Hulk game. :D

[IrishJedi]

Was that based on the previous movie? I thought it was just a one-off game based on the comics.

The difference is that movie-based games are rushed through both design and development 95% of the time. That's why most of them suck.

No not the movie based one. I am talking about Hulk Ultimate Destruction. Yes movie games for the most part suck much balls. With the exception of the Riddick game.

[KitFisto]

I had fun playing the OT SW Lego game, but the novelty wore off kind of fast for me. I could not seeing buying several Lego games. It was fun to play one, but that was enough for me.

In the words of Lonnie

[The Josh]

Actually I think the Iron Man game is fairly decent for a superhero game. I've enjoyed playing it anyways.

[Ashton16]

I can't speak for all of these Freaks...but for me it's all about Indy.

I'm not a big Lego SW fan, but I still play my Indiana Jones Temple of Doom Arcade Game emulator.

[DarkArtist81]

Actually I think the Iron Man game is fairly decent for a superhero game. I've enjoyed playing it anyways.

Yeah, Iron Man was ok... The new Hulk game I'm not so sure about. It doesn't look as fun as the Hulk: Ultimate Destruction game... so I am waiting for a demo.

Most movie games suck, but there have been some gems. Spider Man 2 was GREAT, Batman Begins was fun and interesting, back in the day Batman Returns was good as was Temple of Doom... Though that may be just nostalgia, It's been a very very long time.

[The Josh]

Yeah, I'm a little worried about the Hulk game. I'll probably try the Demo first and see then go from there.

The LOTR games I liked as I did ROTS but yeah most movie games pretty much blow.

[DarkArtist81]

Yeah, Two Towers and ROTK rocked.... forgot about those. :rock

ROTS was great as well, wish it would have been just a tiny bit more polished.. but still a great game.

[MaulFan]

I still have Batman Returns for Atari Lynx and still have a functioning Lynx, some pretty fun games to play in a pinch. Man, thing's gotta be over 10 years old now and still works fine.

[The Josh]

Yeah, ROTS could have been more polished. I like the one on one battle section and wish they'd come out with a new game like that. Though they are mixing a couple into Soul Caliber 4.

[Kabukiman]

Please don't compare Hulk to the Iron Man game. Two different animals. The last Hulk game was also fantastic.

Ultimate Destruction ftw! However, that was developed by Radical Entertainment, while this new one is a Sega project (the same guys who brought you Iron Man) being developed by some company I've never heard of (Edge of Reality).

Here's hoping it plays like Ultimate Destruction, but I'm not too optimistic.

[dharper]

Here's a link to a video that shows you how to unlock Han Solo as a playable character.

[FDBMath]

This is a fun game. I have only played it for a few minutes and only story mode. I have explored the campus a bit and it has some great little hidden gems.

[IrishJedi]

Finished the game in Story mode... and I'm not even 60% done with the game. :google

VERY fun. And, yeah, there is a ton of hidden stuff and secret mini-games around the campus it seems.

[The Josh]

I actually decided to get the game guide so I can go back and find all the stuff that missed through regular play and free play. I want that 100% on this one.

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, I may do that as well if I have a hard time with some of the stuff. Gonna see what I can find on my own first.

[The Josh]

Thats my plan as well. Like one of the items that was in plain site but I totally whiffed on getting the first time. :lol

[OK SITHLORD]

Yeah, I may do that as well if I have a hard time with some of the stuff. Gonna see what I can find on my own first.

Hey Irish what system did you get this for?

[IrishJedi]

I have the 360 version. Might pick up the Wii version for my kids.

[monkeydad16]

Is anyone else having a hard time collecting all the artifacts? I've been through all the levels on free play and some are still eluding me.

[IrishJedi]

I got stuck earlier on the "Ancient City" hidden level. The one where the goal is to collect 1 million studs. I was less than 8,000 short but for the life of me could not figure out how to get in and use that flying contraption with the bat wings. I KNOW that's all I had to do to complete the level and acquire the hidden achievement. Gah! A whole hour wasted. :(

(The "Young Indy" level is pretty darn cool, though! I haven't unlocked the 3rd hidden level yet, which is supposedly the warehouse)

[monkeydad16]

Same here, I could not figure out how to get that thing going. If anyone finds out let me know.

[Blackhole]

Well, that was easy, 100% in around 6 hours of play...

Oh, and that Bat winged contraption is NOT used to complete the level, you must be missing studs elsewhere...you do have to build it though...:D

And the Warehouse...what a dissappointment...there I was expecting some sort of KOTCS bonus level...

What do you get? A stunt track...:(...

[DarkArtist81]

I'm about 67% done with it... just finished story mode. :rock

[OK SITHLORD]

How is the game play on the Wii? Anybody got it?

[MaulFan]

Anyone know if this is coming for MAC?

[icruise]

I just got this the other day (on clearance at Target). It's a really great game IMHO, as are the LEGO Star Wars games. They can be frustrating if you try to find/get everything though.

[IrishJedi]

I'm still pretty disgruntled. I played this game and unlocked and finished EVERYTHING... 100%. Then my son overwrote it. :banghead

I would have to start anew... and I still don't have the heart (and it's not because Mola Ram took it) :(

Great game, though. Better than the SW ones in many ways.

[icruise]

Were you planning on playing it a lot more after unlocking everything? I wonder if there is an "unlock everything" code out there...

[IrishJedi]

Well, I don't know. But I liked the fact that I had the option to play pretty much any level in any way I wanted (and with any of the unlocked cheats and such). Plus, a couple of those bonus levels took forever to find everything in. It's been about 3-4 months and I still can't bring myself to play it again.

[IronFingaz]

Anyone know if this is coming for MAC?

I think so...
