FUN FOR ALL AGES 
2008-11-26
This game is a blast for kids and and adults too. As you play through the game you can unlock over 60 different characters to use which always make it interesting. You can even create your own person by combining assorted body parts in design mode. There are many different types of weapons and tools that you can use as well. You kids will learn teamwork and some puzzle solving skills as well. The game really makes you feel like you are along side Indiana Jones and involved in the adventures yourself. I have a 5 year old and a 7 year old and they both love this game. It is great because they can play alone or together at the same time.
Gets Boring Pretty Soon 
2008-11-18
This game was fun to begin but it got boring pretty soon. I ended up trading it in in less than 2 weeks. I'm not saying that this is a bad game, but the overall game quality is not any better than those plenty of downloadable games available on PSN. And they are much much cheaper. The biggest reason this gets 2 stars from me is I can not justify the $[...] price. Maybe I'll recommend it for $[...].
excellent choice!

DON'T be put off by "lego" and assume it's for pre-schoolers...it's very clever, not blood n' guts violent, sufficiently challenging, a really good choice. my two 11 year old sons love it, and often gravitate towards it rather than the more "mature", violent stuff. the lego star wars is very excellent, too. maybe better.
Doesn't live up to Lego Star Wars 2008-10-08
Or maybe I'm just a bigger fan of Star Wars than of the Indian Jones franchise. This game is incredibly cute, I have actually ordered a Lego playset just so I can have a Lego Sean Connery on my desk at work. It was fun, and I constantly found myself saying, "ooh look, they got that in from the movie!" I thought the treasures were more difficult to find in this game than in the Star Wars games, and the occasional odd angle of viewing made it hard to aim the characters for jumps, making it nearly impossible for my 5 yr old to play alone. Mom had to come "help" for most of the game, not that I minded in the least. I found a few glitches, one being during the race for the ark where you are jumping from truck to truck. After killing all the Nazi's, it still wouldn't allow us to drive the truck, and after about 5 minutes of just riding on the top we finally had to look up a walkthrough online just to see what we were supposed to do. After leaving that scene, it worked fine when we came back to it later. There was another scene that had this same type of error, something missing that was there when we left that scene and then went back later, but I can't remember where it was now. I have to rate it four stars, because, while it was fun, it just didn't have that same level of "wow" to me.
Fun for Kids and Adults 2008-09-11
I got this primarily for my two boys, ages 5 and 7. Both of them are avid Lego Star Wars players, so I felt confident they would enjoy Indiana Jones. It was a hit with them. My older son went to task clearing the levels. My younger son enjoys the occasional level run or just toying around with custom characters. With infinite lives, he's free to explore as he likes without a 'GAME OVER' spoiling his fun.
Truth be told, I enjoyed playing the game as well. As an adult I found the game rather elementary. However, the nostalgia factor was there, the humor quite enjoyable, and the challenge level suitable as a 'casual' game.
As a parent, there is some concern that most conflicts in the game are solved through violence (bloodless, Lego violence). Also, the movies have some creepy themes (ritual sacrifice, melting Nazis, monkey brains, etc.), but the visceralness is toned down and often covered up by humor. I think the worst was the smiling monkey head being served with its brain exposed. It sounds disturbing, but just looked silly. So far, no complaints of bad dreams from the kids. Just boyish giggles and 'GROSS!'
Silly, Fun, Satisfying 2008-09-06
Imagine being able to play with Legos without having to get all the pieces. Now you can with Lego Indiana Jones. It takes the fun and creative construction of LEGO and combines it with the wits, daring and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures. With a tongue-in-cheek take on these original adventures, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones's escapades through the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India where you will build, battle and brawl your way through your favorite moments, from Indy's entanglements with snakes to his dashing boulder run.
Loads of fun 2008-07-24
Traveller's Tales returns with another Lego-based game, this time focusing on the Indiana Jones franchise after conquering the world of Star Wars. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is exactly what the title implies: the original Indy trilogy in Lego form. Contrary to some negative things that have been said, if you've played any of the Lego Star Wars games, you'll feel right at home here. The gameplay itself is relatively simple, family friendly fun that nearly anyone can pick up and play. Co-op mode is where the real fun of Lego Indiana Jones is to be had though, and like Lego Star Wars before it, the game just has a sense of undeniable charm to it that you can't help but get some enjoyment in the very least out of it. It may not take you too long to breeze through the game though, but if you do, it is worth going back and playing again just to catch all the game's in-jokes and visual gags, along with a horde of hidden items and goodies as well. If there's any real flaws to the game, it's that the AI isn't all that good in terms of enemies and AI-controlled pals, but as a whole, Lego Indiana Jones is massively enjoyable. All in all, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures continues the tradition of wonderfully fun and family friendly games, and is definitely worth picking up for Indy fans or anyone looking for some good clean fun.
Simple fun. 2008-07-19
There is not much that I can add that has not already been said. This game is something that you can be confident in buying for the whole family. What violence their is looks cartoonish and there is no nudity or sex. If you enjoy the movies, you'll probably enjoy this game.
Just a couple of points that I'd like to add:
Sometimes, though, the action can come to a standstill because the camera angles make it extremely difficult to see puzzles when two people are playing the game. In single player, the camera follows whichever character you have selected. With two players, it zooms out to show as much as possible.
Also, certain stages can be difficult as the pieces to the various puzzles are sometimes well hidden. While my brother and I were playing I had an online strategy guide up to get us through the difficult parts, and I'd recommend you doing the same as you play.
It's fun 2008-07-10
It's like the older version of Lego's video game: Star Wars Trilogy. Same structure, kind of graphics, etc. But it is fun (as Star Wars version). I would vote with 5 stars but I expected more innovations in this game.
Very good game 2008-07-10
I bought it for my son, who was delighted playing it, and his only complain is that it is a bit short. It is based on the stories of the first three Indiana Jones movies. Graphics are excellent in a HD TV set, as is the sound through a home theater. I recommend this game to any PS3 owner
