This is something I was really hoping for, after first hearing several months ago that LEGO had acquired the Indy license.

Should be a lotta fun.

LucasArts commissions Lego Star Wars studio to parody history-turned-adventurer's first three excursions, available in 2008 for consoles.

Eat your heart out, Mr. Ford.

Traveller's Tales is no stranger to LucasArts properties. The developer won praise, or at least a few smirks, with its tongue-in-cheek send-up of the hallowed Star Wars franchise in Lego Star Wars and its follow-up, Lego Star Wars II. However, during Star Wars Day at this year's Comic-Con International: San Diego, it wasn't the epic space opera that received one of LucasArts bigger announcements.

Closing out its conference at Comic-Con, LucasArts announced Lego Indiana Jones: The Videogame will ride on to consoles in 2008. As with Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones will parody three Indiana Jones movies, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Lego Indiana Jones will developed by the same team behind the Lego Star Wars games and feature the same style of quirky humor and familiar movie moments rendered in children's building blocks.

LucasArts' storied franchises aren't the only ones Lego Group has courted recently. In March, Warner Bros. Entertainment announced it would be piecing together DC Comics' Gotham City with Lego Batman, available for multiple consoles in 2008. Earlier that same month, Lego Group announced that Auto Assault developer NetDevil was prepping a massively multiplayer online game around the popular building blocks.

Along with the game, LucasArts also announced that Lego Indiana Jones playsets will be available in January 2008.

Oh god...that made me feel really, really old.  I have no idea what's going on at all...I've never been very good at playing video games that weren't first person, I just get very confused about how to translate what I'm seeing into where I should be going..ugh and I can satnd all of that coin/money/parts collecting nonsense...it's cute as hell though.

When did you grow up? In the '80s/ late '70s there were video games.
Title: Re: Lego Indiana Jones: The Video Game
Post by: speedermike on March 2, 2008, 10:05 AM
I grew up in the late 70's...I'll be 40 this year (shhhh...) but I was never really that into games.  I palyed some Atari and stuff, but when the Donkey Kong/Barrel Jumping type thing started happening in games, I lost interest.  I own an Xbox, and like games like Halo, or Medal of Honor and one or two Sw games, but I really only like first peson shooter types.  I guess that if I'm imagining myself in an adventure, I want it to be from my point of view, I don't want to be outside of my body...I bought KOTOR the day it cam out and thought it was the most boring thing I'd ever sepnt money on... ;D

                 I am just like you -one year, I loved the first person shooter games and grew up on atari, pong and battletank of the early 80's.  I thought the lego star wars games was dumb when I first saw it, but My wife and kids got it for me this past Christmas and it is a blast to play.  I can wait to get this one too.

Hits today.  The question is do I buy it now or wait until it hits Greatest Hits status on PS2 and save $20?  (Yes, I'm still rocking the PS2, just not that much of a gamer).

Post by: Theo Zissou on June 3, 2008, 10:37 AM
I'm pretty hyped for this. i might just run out and buy it today. i want to get it for my ps3 but that would be an extra $10 and i'm sure it doesn't look that much better then ps2 version. i have the 40 gb ps3 so it doesn't play ps2 games :/ lame.

Pretty awesome that it has like 70 playable characters. short round! :)

I'd wait.  I'm not a hardcore gamer either so I'm fine with actually waiting a year to buy a game for $20 or less vs. $50.

I was going to wait a while before picking this up but I read on another forum that one of Willie Scott's attacks is screaming, so that alone is getting me to buy it within the next few days.

lol. i just rented it. so far i'm 3 levels into raiders. it's fun, some of the things you have to do are alot harder to figure out compared to the lego starwars game.

another cool thing is all the star wars shout outs. so far i've see a 3po head and luke hanging from an ice roof :)

Picked this up yesterday at Circuit City for $25.  Just as fun as the SW ones were for the most part.  Looking forward to the Batman installment.   :)

Picked this up yesterday at Circuit City for $25.

Not a bad buy for the PS2 version, but the 360/PS3/Wii versions are still full price at $49.99.

Been waiting for a sale on the 360 version myself.  Hopefully there'll be one before too much longer.

For their 2008 XBox 360 Holiday Bundles, Microsoft has announced that Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures will be a free pack-in game with their $299/60 GB Pro model, as well as their $399/120 GB Elite model.  Also included is the Kung Fu Panda game.

More (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/10/09/ms-announces-holiday-bundles-free-netflix-trial/)

Glad I never bought this game!  Hopefully I can find some way to snag a copy on the cheap, if not free.

Based on the fun I had with the SW Lego game, I'll be picking this one up. But I'll probably wait a while for a lower price.
Title: Re: Lego Indiana Jones: The Video Game
Post by: Rob on October 15, 2008, 04:00 PM
Same here.  I waited, and see no reason to not wait until the new year now.  There will be lots of extra copies floating around.
Title: Re: Lego Indiana Jones: The Video Game
Post by: Matt on October 15, 2008, 04:06 PM
Yep, there'll be a ton of cheap used copies available within the next few weeks and months.

The Forza/Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2-pack that was the freebie pack-in last year?  I understand that the used game stores are swimming in them now.

Picked this up finally. I love these Lego games.
Title: Re: Lego Indiana Jones: The Video Game
Post by: Matt on December 10, 2008, 06:55 PM
Borrowing it from a friend currently.  Nearly done with it.  Much shorter than LSW: The Complete Saga.  Good game, but I'm glad I didn't buy it.
Title: Re: Lego Indiana Jones: The Video Game

I finished the game. I had a blast playing it, just as fun as the SW ones for me.

It is a great game. I hope they revisit it at some point with KOTCS. Would love to play a fridge-nuking level or jungle chase Lego style.

Recieved this as a birthday present today from my sons.  Can't wait to throw it in the Wii and get started!  I really hope that I like it as much as I have the Lego SW game...

Lego Indiana Jones 2 swinging to stores this fall (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/29/lego-indiana-jones-2-swinging-to-stores-this-fall/)

Quote
You may remember that Harry Potter and a second Indiana Jones game were confirmed to be getting the LEGO treatment back in March. LucasArts and Traveler's Tales are finally talking about one of those titles, confirming LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues coming to PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS and PSP this fall.

Though the name is different than the last time we heard about it, the new Indy will still apparently cover the latest film in the series. We can't wait to see if a LEGO fridge can stand up to a nuclear explosion.

The best thing about this is that it all but guarantees that the Indy trilogy is coming to BluRay this fall. . .

Regardless of how I liked the movie, I'll have to pick the new Lego up.
Title: Re: Lego Indiana Jones: The Video Game
Post by: Diddly on June 13, 2009, 02:40 AM
I've had Lego Indy 1 since Christmas but have yet to crack it open... perhaps I should give it a try someday. Each time I play Wii I'm usually playing Lego Batman.

I was concerned that they were just gonna tack the Crystal Skull levels onto the old game, but this article from Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5272726/lego-indy-2-revisits-the-original-trilogy) puts those fears to rest:

Quote
TT Games has gone back and added all new features to the original trilogy, with new objectives and a few entirely new levels, including the classic vehicle chase in Shanghai with Short Round from Temple of Doom. Speaking of vehicles, Indy will have a host of new rides, with planes, boats, and mine carts at his disposal. Even Indy himself is getting an upgrade, with a more functional whip and some new animations to keep things fresh.

Does anyone know if the new LEGO Indy game will include the first one?  I'm a tad tired at the moment and don't feel like researching, but I just picked up SW LEGO and Indy LEGO for the PS3 - buy 2 get $10 off at Target.  Would like to return Indy if I know I can rebuy it with the new game attached.

Done..

Post by: I Am Sith on May 2, 2010, 09:46 AM
Have any of you that have Indy 2 ever have any problems with the game working correctly?  I'm in Temple of Doom and have completed the entire storybook level, however I can't get the Tribal Elder unlocked.  And unfortunately for me, I need him to complete the last two bonus levels...  Any advice would help as I haven't been able to find any info on the web.  Thanks.
