Being an Indiana Jones fan, I went out and bought this game right away. WOW!!! The graphics are spectacular! The plot doesn't get corny after a while like in the Tomb Raider games. Enemies range from Communist soldiers, to sharks, to bugs of mammoth porportions. (Believe me, when all of a sudden I heard little shuffling noises and a scorpion was at my feet, I jumped three feet into the air.) There are also countless deathtraps, from the orthodox pick-up-something-and-the-floor-panel beneath-your-feet-opens-and-you-fall-to-your-death kind we've just about all seen a million times, to spring-operated spike traps, and, of course, the famous rolling boulder. One more thing - beware the giant serpent Quetztalcoatl in the Olmec Valley level! It killed me about 100 times, and on the 101st time I figured out how to get past it.

An all round excellent game, but there are still issues...

I thought Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine was probably the best Action game i've ever played. The graphics are amazing, very clear, and the pure sense of adventure in this game are awesome. I enjoyed the gameplay and storyline, but there are a couple of issues that need to be resolved with the game. There is a nasty glitch in the game that will keep you from proceeding to one level to the next, and another problem in which a key will not work on a gate even though you have it with you. Fortunetly lucasarts has released a patch, downloading it helped. Even with these minor glitches, Indiana Jones an the Infernal Machine still remains a strong action game.

indy pushes on

This is a great follow up to Fate of Atlantis, and it's nice to see Indy jumped into 3D. The textures are really nice, and it carries a lot of Typical Indy puzzles. Sure it looks a lot like Tomb Raider, but you know Indy was there first. This game needs to be ported to PS. The only downfall is theat the programming is a little tempermental in Win2000, but then again, what isn't? Plus there are patches for this game. this is worth the buy. You won't be disappointed.

Indiana Jones!!!!

Wow! This game is so fun! I've just taken a break from playing it(I'm still only about halfway through!) to express my feelings.

This is my first Indy game, so I really didn't know what to expect. I do remember hating tomb raider so I figured The Infernal Machine couldn't be that bad.

Like I said, I'm still in the middle of playing, but I've managed to piece together a list of pros and cons I've encountered so far:

Pros- 1) Good original storyline.
2) The whip. 'Nuff said.
3) Your ability to find hidden treasures on the levels.
4) Indy's voice. Not quite the same, but almost.
5) The level cinematics are awesome!
6) Hair-raising trap after hair-raising trap.

Cons- 1) Lots of confusing puzzles that can take hours to solve.
2) Somewhat annoying aiming system for your guns,
though you kinda get used to it.

As you can see, I heavily favour the pros of this game. Indiana Jones and The Infernal Machine is a definate buy for Indy fans and anyone who craves action and seeks adventure.

Did they change this game or what!

I was extremely disapointed when I started playing this game. I love the Indiana Jones series, but this is a totally different game! You hardly encounter any people you can talk to. Is more of a game to explore and watch and fight. Boring! And I hated the graphics.

couldn't get the stupid thing to run

tryed it one two computers. Would not run. Kept freezing up before the game even started. What a waste. It is proabably good if you get a good disk.

This game [stinks]!

When this game was first released, I thought it was OK but nothing special. I have played it to the end level but never managed to beat the 'boss' and therefore did not get to see the ending. Additionally, I have no intention of replaying this rather moderate adventure game.

PROS:
The voice acting is reasonable,
The graphics are alright considering its time of release,
Indy makes sarcastic comments as in the films,
There are a large range of weapons, though these are nearly all guns.

The game uses bullet time, which makes dodging fire at a range easy!
The controls work properly, though they may be unresponsive at times.
The system requirements are fairly low, so people with out of date hardware should have no problem running this.
There are a wide range of in-game levels and environments, from a canyon to a Russian cruise.

CONS:
The combat is so boring and is linear. Fistfights are pathetic and Indy's trademark whip is nothing more than code scraps.
Just like Tomb Raider, it takes three to five pistol rounds at close range to subdue a guard!
The guns seem all the same!
The game puzzles are too hard and it will take weeks to beat the game. I even needed a walkthru at times!
There is a small range of enemies and the AI is such that a guard can see you from behind a wall.

FINAL VERDICT:
This is not true to the wonderful Indy films and is like a clone of Tomb Raider. Infact the only level I enjoyed (i.e. did not get frustrated with) was the level in which I had to escape from a Russian cell aboard a ship and then defeat a duo of tough, almost invincible soldiers. Buy this if you like solving puzzles, because it consists of 90% puzzle solving and 5% combat. (Oh, the other five percent is spent sitting waiting for it to load). I would strongly recommend Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb INSTEAD of this.

A terrible game...

Despite being a huge Indiana Jones fan and thus much more inclined to give this game a great rating, I have to say this piece of software was a terrible disappointment. Awful interface, outdated graphics, and a silly and uninteresting plot combine to make this game an even bigger flop than LucasArts' Rebellion. I used to buy any interesting LucasArts game simply because they've had such a wonderful track record for putting out quality entertainment -- but I will seriously think twice before I purchase another game from this company.
