Frustrating But A Lot Of Fun [Posted on 2005-07-17]
I bought this game quite a while ago now, pretty cheaply, & i love it, it can be a game where you can yell & scream if you get so close to the end of 1 stage then you stuff it up & have to do it all over again. The graphics are great, i love the whole feel of the game, the worlds i explore while i am playing it. The most frustrating stage ever is The End-"Von Beck's Revenge" where he is chasing you in a tank & you have to keep constantly jumping, use your whip to wrap around the over head beams above the many pitfalls in the stage, it took me well over 100times to do it, but i finally did it. I just can't wait to finish it. Frustrating game, but a lot of fun to play.

Best Action Game Ever! [Posted on 2006-03-24]
this game takes place right before the second movie so. If your looking for a great game dont listen to those bad reviews. every thing about this game is great. somepeople say the contols are hard, but they really arent. the only way the will be hard is if you change them. there are some pretty cool places to travel to. the story line is great it has some great moments. it NEVER takes a boring turn there is awlays lots of excitement. there are soo many different wepons to use. even though their are many wepons to choose from i preffer to just knock em out! fighting is awesome! there are many different charicters bad and good. its not too easy to beat the guys up but not to hard. after you beat all the levels there is one more thing to do. in each area there are different artifacts. travel back to uncover them. once your done that you will get a suprise. after you beat this you wont be able to wait for the next one.

I Luv Pummeling Nazis!!! [Posted on 2006-05-29]
How can you go wrong with a game where you get to beat the living bejeezus out of Nazi scum?!

It may not be a perfect game, but IJ&tET is an incredibly exciting and action packed game.

I won't go into the plot of the game. There's too much of it and not enough time to waste reading about it.

Pros:

Kick-ass action. The hand-to-hand-combat is terrific. You have your left hand and your right hand with one fist a piece. There are a lot of fun combos you can use to attack your enemies. Grabbing makes it even more enjoyable as you grab an enemy and punch him like he's got Everlast written all over him or you can throw him against a wall and make mince meat out of him. Not to mention the shoulder grab and multiple knee to the gut attack. There's also the ability to guard yourself with those fisticuffs of yours. Did I mention how much I enjoy wailing on Third Reich fockers?

The talent. Top-notch voice over actors do a terrific job bringing the well written dialogue to life. It's a great story as well and worthy of the Indy series. Indy's voice is very close to Harrison Ford's.

The look and sounds. Stunning environments and characters. I love the designs created. I especially liked the buildings in Istanbul (not Constantinople). This game is very detailed yet runs flawlessly on not-so-up-to-date PCs like mine. I enjoyed all the sound fx of the weapons. They sounded authentic and added to the action.

The weapons. Oh my. The whip. It is so much fun whippin' baddies with it. You have plenty of guns both pistol and automatic to shoot anything with which includes sharks and alligators.

The action and adventure. So much fun. Every turn is an opportunity to swing off of ledges all over the place with your trusty whip. You climb, jump, sommersault and hang onto / off of and flush against ledges way up, up in the air (acrophobics might get a tad freaked at times). Plenty of puzzles and hidden gems abound make it more fun than a barrel of snakes ("Why did it have to be snakes?").

GUI and controls. Very easy to read and use and to set up. All the settings are customable to your liking except that the game doesn't recognize extra buttons on the mouse other than the basic 3 and the wheel. Not a big deal.

Cons:

Control. At times the controls can be jerky. My main issue is the auto-controls. The character sometimes goes in another direction than you may want. Very annoying.

Camera angles. Frustrating. The auto-camera turns away from you or just does its own thing and can be very disorienting in the most inconvenient of times.

Secrets. There are assumedly a lot of them but aren't easy to find with the annoying camera and the lack of a "searching" option. Eh.

Saving. Biggest pain-in-the-tucchus. You cannot save where you want. There is only the auto-saving at the end of each section. This really is the biggest issue I had with the game.

All in all it's super fun and more exciting than most games. It really does bring you into the adventurous world of Dr. Indiana Jones (Jr.).

Whipped into submission [Posted on 2006-07-12]
The game is quite fun actually and the graphics are terrific. My problem with it is that there is entirely too much dependence on Indy's whip to get around. In some cases getting to the object I needed took so much effort that it just wasn't worth it. Also, the inability to save at crucial parts is non existant, the player is forced to go all the way back to the beginning of the chapter to try whatever he was doing again. I never finished the game. I gave up after several hours because it just wasn't very much fun.

Stop reading reviews and order it! [Posted on 2007-02-17]
This game is great. But you need a lot patience because you can't save in the middle of a level. And let me give you a word of advice- It'll ask you what you want to call your profile name when you hit new game. Go with the default (Indy1,2,3... ?) I first put in "Tom", and it didn't save, so just keep that in mind.

BUT- this game is a really good one. More of a fighting game than an archeoological one. In almost every level there's a swarm of nazis or zombies you need to kill- not that that's bad. Once you master the controls, the game is a classic. Good voice acting, good graphics and plot. Some was a bit far fetched, but I guess so is having your heart pulled out and staying alive. Hey, it's Jones, it's allowed to be fantasied.

You really should get this game, you'll have a lot of fun with it, some levels you'll want to play a few times, just because they're so fun. Good luck!
