May 7, 2008 - Though it seemed like an odd couple when first announced, Traveller's Tales' LEGO Star Wars franchise quickly became a huge success due to its easy pick up and play mechanics and slick co-op play. Oh, and the Star Wars license didn't hurt one bit.
The crew is back with another LucasArts license, one that's about to be rejuvenated on the big screen come May 22nd. LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is set to hit most every platform known to man on June 3rd, and aims to bring the same addictive gameplay seen in the Star Wars titles to Indy's journeys.
When you start up the game for the first time, you're immediately tossed into the classic opening sequence from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Running through the jungle, traversing the ruins and its many traps and running from the boulder is all here and serves as your tutorial for future play. A number of new mechanics not seen in the previous titles become immediately apparent here, and helps set the experience apart from the Star Wars games a bit.
