i tend to love playing movie based games if its based on a movie franchise i like a lot, and of all the past and present Indy games, this is easily hands down the best. the recent "staff of kings" was extremely weak in comparison, as that was mainly meant for the Nintendo wii and its gimmicky lame "motion" controllers. but this game, while not perhaps having the best graphics in the world, its light-years better. its structured like a movie, which i really liked. it has its own soundtrack, and a very intricate storyline. the other thing about the game i noticed last time i played is that its long. pretty long. i was surprised, because movie based games are usually very short and linear. this game though really felt like you were in a movie and moved the storyline along. you battle Nazi's and Chinese warriors and even meet a cameo character from Temple of Doom which was neat. the game is challenging, and you have to use your head to solve some puzzles which was nice cuz they are hard but not too hard. it had many different side game parts, like shooting down airplanes with a big gun or running and swinging away from a giant tank, or solving puzzles. the game has it all, and i actually got it only a couple years ago used. the storyline is strong as well, and you got the typical Chinese and Nazi villains, including one German with a weird voice and white eye. the other cool thing was that they actually used the term "Nazi" and used the swastika. i say this because in "staff of kings", the recent game that came out last year, did not have the swastika (instead it was a cross) and used the word "Germans" instead of Nazi's. there's even this one part where Indy says "Germans, why'd it have to be Germans" *BIG EYE ROLL*. just awful. but this game definitely had the more authentic feel. if your any kind of fan of Indiana Jones, this is the game to get.
