When I’ve not been playing Rock Band and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 I’ve been having a lot of fun with Lego Indiana Jones. If you’ve played the Lego Star Wars games you’ll feel right at home playing as Indy. Sure, there are difference like you get a whip and no force powers, but the game feels really familiar. You’re still playing as a lego guy and trying to solve pretty simple puzzles to play through each movie’s main story line. I’m about 75% through the game currently, but I’m sure I’ll play back through it a few times trying to unlock ever little thing. Some of the best parts of playing these lego games is that they are pretty long, they hide lots of little easter eggs throughout the game, and there are lots of things to unlock and find.

There are a few downfalls to the game. First, the load times are pretty long for a game that has pretty simple graphics. The levels are pretty big, but the load times are still longer than I expect on an Xbox 360 title. Additionally, the game doesn’t always stick to the movies story line exactly. It is pretty close, but they take a few liberties. I personally did not mind this but I know a couple guys who are die hard Indy fans who did not like it. Finally, the biggest issue with the game in my opinion is that lack of co-op support over Xbox Live. The co-op on the same screen is pretty good although the camera could use some work at some points. I really don’t understand the decision to not support co-op over Live when even simple XBLA titles have that kind of support.

Still, I’d recommend Lego Indiana Jones to anyone looking to play a game to just have some fun or to play with their kids. It is a lot of fun to play as Indy and play through the first 3 movies.
