Great Fun For Kids If your kids already enjoy the lego star wars games then they will love this one. I bought this game a while back for my two kids ages 8 and 11 and next to the star wars game this is the one that gets played with the most. In fact they described it as being awesome.
My 4 1/2 year old plays this non-stop This is a great game - very engaging and easy for my 4 year old to play by himself.
Best DS Game Ever! My kids and I fight over who gets to play the one copy of this game we have. It's completely addictive. I don't like a lot of other games for DS but I love this one!
The LEGO adventures continue! Building upon LEGO Star Wars this game continues the fun, innovative, child friendly LEGO environment that Star Wars introduced. If you child (or you) loved Star Wars then game will be a hit. The interface is very similar so initial play is quick to pick up. This game adds more of the interactive aspects of the DS, such as have to blow into the microphone to extinguish torches, which increases the fun factor. There are also mini games and other activities which must be complete to unlock those last few special items.
The overall layout of the game is similar to Star Wars as well in terms of each Indiana Jones movies be a doorway with individual game segments within each that unlock as you complete.
Bottom line: If you like LEGO Star Wars, a must have. If you did not care for it, this is more of the same.
I can't pry this game from my son's hands!! My son (8 yrs old) loved the Star Wars Lego games so I got him the Indiana Jones Lego game for his DS. He has been playing the game pretty regularly for almost a month now. He's about 70% through after that time. I think that is pretty good for a video game. He's driven to finish it all up and I have no doubt he will. If all games held his attention for that long without swearing or graphic violence, this wouldn't be the exception, but it is!! This game is rated appropriately and the challenges and rewards are appropriate for the level. I'll definitely keep my eyes out for other Lego themed games assuming they are of appropriate genre.
