Indy- Quick Save

3 Rating: 3, Useful: 1 / 2
Date: October 07, 2004

I just bought this game and have been playng it a lot. Im at Istanbul for those who would like to know. But one thing that really SUCKS about this game is that there is no other save function besides the autosave at the end of each level. It gets kind of annoying after a while having to do something you did 5 minutes ago because a giant fricking squid eats you. All in all, great game, no quick save!

The Greatest Hit

I think that Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb will be a great hit because of how fun, excitement, and adventure was Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine.
When I bought Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine I thought that it was the best game of Indy's adventures, but with Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb coming now I think that this game will be the best game of Indy's adventures.

The Best Indy Game ever

I have played and beat every Indy game that has been made and with each one they seem to take greater strides to out do themselves, the Emperor's Tomb is no exception to the legacy that has become Idiana Jones. The controls take a little time to get use to but other then that I really had no problems adaptting to it. The Graphics are probily the best I have seen in a long time, The puzzles are a little more challenging then in the previous game they are a little furthur apart but I liked the feature. In all even if your not an Indy Fan I still Recommend you at least try this game. 5 stars

Two thumbs up! Greatest game ever! You should really get this game!
It has amazing graphics! Plus you can play in places such as Ceylon, Prague, Turkey, and Hong Kong, plus this game is way better than the NBA live and Madden Football series. If you get this game I guarentee you will love it!

Controls are clumsy, game is not challenging at all, even if you choose the difficult level it is ridiculously easy. The baddies say the same thing all the time, you encounter the same obstacles over and over very repetitive. Indiana moves like an ape.
The only challenging aspect is that you cannot save the game where you would like and combined with the clumsy controls you need to repeat over and over again the same non challenging actions.
Please do not waste your money.

I do not know what the heck those one and two star reviewers are talking about. this game is fun and action packed. the new fighting modes are awesome. the graphic are very good. and the comtrols aren't that bad. sowhat if you can't save whenever you want to. it just makes the game a little bit more challenging. i really do'nt see anything wrong with this game if your a big fan of adventure games. this game is just about perfect and i recommend that u buy it.

Not as fun as Infernal Machine

I bought this game without reading any reviews because I trusted Lucasarts and expected a worthy followup to their last Indy game (Infernal Machine). This is just not it. I have been playing Lucasarts games for over 10 years now, and one of the reasons I loved their work so much was the ingenious, at times annoyingly difficult (but always challenging) puzzles that were an integral part of their PC games. I am just not seeing this in the newest Indiana Jones offering. Granted, I have only been playing for three days now, but I am bored with all the fighting. I also HATE not being able to save the game whenever I want, and I am annoyed with the way the camera does not always point the way Indy is looking (terrible in the fight scenes when the camera all of a sudden points the wrong way and you can't see who you are fighting anymore!)
Bottom line: I'll play this because it's INDY, but I kind of wish I'd waited a few months for the price to go down before buying it.

Too Much Frustrating Work and No Reward - NO FUN!!!

I enjoyed the Infernal Machine much more than the Emperor's Tomb. This game is very frustrating. Every time you die, you must start from the beginning of the level, and it is very easy to die at any time in this game. At no time during the game can you save. It became such a problem, that I had to walk away from my computer at times because I was so angry. I had a few choice words for the creators of this horrible game. The camera is the worst I have seen in a game. It spins out of control and takes a long time to get use to. It will drive you nuts! It is very hard to control during the fighting. There are really only two things that you will ever do in this game, and they are as follows:
1. You will jump from floating platform to platform - Have we not gotten past this type of game play yet? Oh yah, some of the jumping is extremely hard to do, and it is under very difficult circumstances. Some levels will take a long time to get past with no reward at the end, except going to the next level to do it all over again.
2. You will fight a person or two with every corner you go around. It gets to be so repetitive that most people, I would imagine, will never finish this game. They will simply realize that it is no fun and walk away. The emperor's tomb is a very frustrating game and offers no reward for all of the hard work.
What happened to adventure? Where is the fun of exploring new and exciting places? What is up with the lousy story line? This game went the way of monsters and demons and away from the traditional historical adventure that you would expect to find with Indiana Jones. If I wanted a fighting game, I could have bought a fighting game. If I wanted a game about demons and magic, I could have bought some other game also. This is not what Indiana Jones is supposed to be about.

The Best Game Ever!

I can't wait until this game comes out! It's going to be so cool. I own the previous game, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. It's ok, but The Emperor's Tomb is going to have better graphics, especially indy's face, it's suppose to look just like actor Harrison Ford. The games going to have new weapons, you can ride in vehicles and shoot people, you can now use indy's fists in which anyway you want. There are 10 levels, In the jungles of Ceylon, the underwater palaces of Instanbul, and of course the crowdy streets of Hong Kong. I can't wait! And wait until the game is released in January because it will cost a lot cheaper than if you pre-order it. Have a good 2002 and make sure you get the game January 15, 2003!

Stop the Whining....excellent game!!

I can't believe the whiners on here. The controls are no where near as bad as reviews on here would have you think. Those that are whining need to make use of a really cool little invention called..a JOYSTICK!! or a game pad as I have used so far. Obviously those who are complaining about the controls haven't played any true 3rd person games as most of them operate this way, ie..Tomb Raider series etc. This game is absolutely breathtaking! Superior graphics, a spell binding story line, and an excellent sound track along with fantastic voice overs. I believe Harrison Ford did the voice for this game even if it doesn't indicate he did so. I'll eat my fedora if it isn't his voice! I gave the game the 4 stars out of 5 simply for the lack of an in game save feature, which I find extremely annoying at times. But this game is well worth the money and I truly hope there is a sequel on the way. Excellent job LucasArts!
