Not bad, but not what it is cracked up to be.
From the second I first heard about this game a few months back I was intrested, my inner child excited about re-creating that Indy magic.
Its not a bad game, as such, it looks pretty and is sort of fun to play, and I am a huge fan of the way a second player can dip in and out at any point in the campaign, a feature sadly lacking from many games. Also although I am still in the fairly early stages of the game it is great playing through the Indy movies I have seen countless times. However somehow this game just isn't all that great to me. Somehow I just can't seem to enjoy a game where you can't die (you respawn exactly where you died, or at least so far in the game you do), which seems to take any feeling of risk, suspense and achievement out of the whole experience. Obviously this game is aimed at children mainly and I am sure most would enjoy it, but in my oppinion doesn't offer enough challenge to be of intrest to adult gamers (a view which seems to be in minority so maybe i am missing something).
