Game Review: Lego Indiana Jones

This childishly addictive game is meant for everyone. Especially when there are so many adults pretending they are kids nowadays. It is a game that cannot be hated by anyone and can only be loved by all ages (even if 95 is getting a bit old for a gamer). This game is also not for your average gamer, it is cleverly designed to involve both adult and baby jokes so that you can always ensure a giggle, even when the game is at its toughest. Of course, the game very rarely does become difficult which is why even three year olds try their hand at defeating the giant spider and shatter it to tiny lego pieces. That is also another reason how it is designed for all ages. You cannot die. Instead you shatter into a rainbow of lego pieces and then magically re-spawn wherever you were standing before hand.
There is no doubt that Lego Indiana Jones can only receive a magnificent 10/10 for its superb story-line, especially when you get to 'smash 4 cash' as I like to call it. Getting through the levels is simple. Just walk from left to right and you'll get there for sure. Even though Tt games and LucasArts already had a story-line set up for them, they made great use of all the chase and fight scenes to create action packed comic 'smashy time'.
The graphics are designed to be exactly how they were. 10/10 again. All lego games are supposed to be extremely cheesy in their graphics so that there is no need for any blood or gore to be a necessity in this marvellously styled and  well-written game. I vote this game 10/10 no question.

As for the price, £39.99 R.R.P., it is relatively cheap as it is huge value for money. A normal person who spreads their life-plan out healthily would probably struggle to receive 100% completion in even a month. It is such a long game with so many side-missions that I think it is an irresistible buy, any everyone should buy it if ever they have the chance.
