 Great game August 1, 2008
I bought this game for my youngest son's 9th birthday. He and his 13-year-old brother play for one hour a day in the co-op mode, and would play all afternoon if I let them. He thanks me on a daily basis for what he calls "the best game in the world." My middle son has the Lego Star Wars v. 1 & 2 games, and loves them just as much, so all are winners.
Great Game! Lots of fun and adventure! July 15, 2008
I just picked this game up last night for my PC, and all I can say after several hours of playing it is, "WOW!" This game is a lot of fun, and there is definetly a lot to do and see in this game. I am not a real big fan of adventure games in general, if you can call this an adventure game, but this game is really a lot of fun. This was my first Lego PC game. I have played Lego Star Wars for PS2, and I have the Lego Star Wars game for PC, but have never got around to actually playing it. I have always been a big Indiana Jones fan, and I heard this game was really good, so I went ahead and purchased it. So far, I have have none of the issues that others have had with having problems getting this game to load or run. I am using the Xbox 360 controller for Windows, so maybe that helps. I haven't tried any other controller for this game, so I can't comment on any controller issues. I bought the 360 controller mainly because I know a lot of the Windows games are built around the use of this particular controller. I would guess that LucasArts will eventually come out with the needed patch to use other controllers for this game. I would definetly recommend the 360 controller anyway, it is just the best controller I have ever used for PC games. I am using a computer that I built myself. I have a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processor, 2 Gigs of RAM, and a PNY GeForce 8500GT 512MB video card. My sound card is a Soundblaster Audigy. The game has paused a couple of times very briefly, but other than that, no problems. I am planning on eventually adding 2 more Gigs of RAM to my system. The graphics and gameplay are awesome! I would imagine that they are at least comparable to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of this game. I am mainly a PC gamer anyway, I don't even own a 360 or PS3 as of yet. I can't justify spending the kind of money for these consoles when I am just a casual gamer anyway. Anyway, back to the game. This game is one that I would recommend for any Indiana Jones fans, or fans of the Lego series. There is definetly some replay value to this game. I downloaded a strategy guide for the game, so that helps with some of the more challenging parts of the game. The game seems to follow the movies pretty closely, and there is a lot of humor with the various characters in the game as well. I can't wait until September for the Lego Batman game! I give this game a thumbs up! Just make sure your computer is up to snuff and that you have a good processor and video card before purchasing this game. I had all of those things in mind when I built my computer, so no problems with the game on this end. Like I said, the Xbox 360 controller for Windows is almost a must-have if you are going to be playing Windows games on the PC. Fair or not, but this is simply the controller that a lot of the game programmers are using when they design games, as there are a ton of different controllers out there. Bottom line, go get this game!
 Average game July 6, 2008

i played it on a laptop computer and there were lots of glitches, times where i would have to make changes in the resolotion just to get past a certain point.
It was fun to play but without being able to use arrow keys it was also hard at times.
super game!!! July 6, 2008
In this game you can interact with the enviroment way more than lego star wars. You can pick things up for example, a box. You can also pick guns and enemy's hats off the ground. this is a great game!
 Standard USB gamepads won't work July 4, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The standard USB gamepads most people already own for use on their PC will not work with Lego Indiana Jones. For some reason (bad programming), a basic USB gamepad like the Logitech Precision gamepad, which has 10 buttons and an up/down/left/right stick is not sufficient for this game. This doesn't mean that you can use the gamepad, but just miss a few functions; it means you CANNOT actually play the game at all with this gamepad, it won't let you start. Read the official LucasArts forums for more details. Here are a couple good responses from Lucasarts: remember that this is a basic game, not a flight simulator or WoW.
"That controller does meet the minimum number of inputs required for LEGO Indiana Jones."
"The game supports dual-analog gamepads,
Required number of controller inputs:
2 analog sticks (4 axes) and 11 buttons
or
1 analog stick (2 axes) and 15 buttons
or
19 buttons."
