A great adventure game

I like the game because it keeps closely to the movies. The characters have special skills - the ladies are able to jump higher than the men. Indy has a whip, which he can use to disarm enemies, pick up objects, or swing from ledge to ledge. Willie has a scream that can shatter glass. Some of the characters have fears, with Indy it is snakes, with Willie it is bugs, and with Elsa it is rats. This means you have to find a way to get rid of them or use another character. The characters can sometimes pick up the hats of beaten enemies to fool guard posts or Thugee statues. There are sixty playable characters although many of them are the same people in different outfits.

There are eighteen missions plus three bonus missions. I found the missions in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Last Crusade' easier than 'Temple of Doom' (for example in the 'Temple of Kali' mission trying to time and aim the jumps onto the moving handholds). My favourite of the bonus missions was 'Young Indy' as I didn't like the other two much. I prefer missions where you can fight enemies and collects kits and bonuses. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed Lego Star Wars or who is a fan of the Indiana Jones films.
