Well, Indiana is back at it again. The storyline was, interesting, in fact, the best part of the game. Much of it was anoying, making sure the freaking shark doesn't bite off your head, fighting some guys, and stuff. After a few times, I thought, "Okay, just get passed this stuff." One of the most annoying levels was one where you had to sneak into a Nazi base. You can't help your timing and if a soldier sees you a a pair of flaimthroughers walks out and starts kicking your butt! Some of the levels were adicting, like as you fall down a pit of doom and you have to jump at the right time to avoid tiles where if you land on them poisonous darts shoot out at you. The music is good, and lets you know if there is a guy around you and the locations are fun. Personally, I'm not fond of games where all you do is get out your gun and shoot off a lot of people. Also, the save spots. This game would be a whole lot better if you could save when you like. When you accompish a hard section, you could save rather than going through another hard section and dying before you finish the level. Over, this is a fun game, but has some flaws.

GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is just Amazing!! The Indiana Jones character you play moves, fights and behaves just like in the movies. The game captures all the best elements that made the movies so great and lets you play them out in an original adventure made for the game. The graphics and sound are great and the controls are easy to learn so it lets you get into the story and not worry about which button to push to get something done. If you are a big fan of the movies I would recommend buying this game. If you just want to play an amazing adventure I would rent it since there is no replay value to the game (there is only a story mode with no other features). The game has a detailed story and would take 15-20 hours to play it out.

Ok start, horrible finish

I would have given this game a high review over its first half.

However, this "game" quickly goes from fun to work. As others have said, the controls are mediocre, and the character is stupid... the puzzles are trivial... so the "game" quickly becomes a chore of boring/painful levels where death is constant due to Indy's desire to take swan dive off of high places.

The designers were simply not up to the task. They don't understand the difference between making a game more challenging versus simply more difficult. Combined with its horrible visuals on the PS/2, and it simply becomes a painful chore to complete.

All I can say is that I completed it, and that day took it and sold it and wish I had never started playing it... a shame because until it became a ridiculous exercise in arcade jumps and way over the top super natural ridiculousness, it was pretty enjoyable.

Solid game for Indy fans, but ends undramatically.

Many have already written on this game, so I'll try to avoid repeating what they've said, but ultimately, this game starts out strong and entertaining enough, but settles into a middle-ground groove that's neither bad, nor great, but not all too awe-inspiring as the game goes on.
The voice actor for Indiana Jones is passable, but not too convincing -- you can tell it's not Harrison Ford.
And unsurprisingly, it dusts off the long-lived stereotype of the dragon lady and at the end, Indiana gets the Asian (i.e. Chinese) girl, even though there's no plausible reason for her to have any sort of feelings for him -- she's little more than a toy doll for him to have his way with.
The ending is dull -- both the final boss battle and the ending cinematic are little reward for having ran, swung, punched and kicked your way through level after level, trap after trap.
Good if you're an Indiana Jones fan, but others should either rent or stay away altogether.

How typically American

The trailer sure looks exciting, and coming from Lucas Arts, the game has to be good. Yet hold on...are these ponytails I see those Chinese bearing? I thought the story happend in the year of 1935, and the ponytail had already been abandond for more than two decades! Even if the stereotypical depiction was not intended as an insult, the bummer itself will be embarassing enough for Lucas Arts.

An exellent game for anyone who loves indiana jones!!!!!!!!

I bought this game for PS2 and I thought it was the best interactive game ever. I read reviews from other people and they nail it on how bad it is. Well I don't know what they're smokin'. The game is like watching an IJ movie. It took me 5 days to finish it and when I was playing,I was on cloud 9. I think 100,000,000,000 stars would do the trick for this game. I loved Infernal Machine and I love this one. If you dont have a PC,PS2,or XBOX,going out and buying one for this one game is well worth it. I know I got my moneys worth. Only one bad thing about this game is some hard momments.

Average, just average.

This game is just like Tomb Raider. Nuff said! The likenesses aren't realistic (I can't believe someone said that Indy in the game looked like Harrison Ford, which is very untrue, this guy looks like a cardboard box). If you want a fun game to play, play True Crime: Streets of LA (NOT LOUISIANA, Los Angeles) or Enter the Matrix. Those are both very good and fun games. But if you must try the experience of an Indiana Jones game, then by all means play it, but rent it first!

Awesome game!

This is adiscrace to Indiana Jones. One of the problems is if you hit someone with a chair they die in one hit yet it takes 8-10 hits to kill someone with a machete. and to add insult to injury it takes 2-4 shot to kill someone with a gun even if you shoot them in the head. LucasArts need to get their prioratys straight, a gun and a machete are more lethal than a chair.
