INTRODUCTION
Step aside, real-world archaeologists! With “LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures” on the Wii, players dive into a whimsical, blocky universe starring their favorite whip-wielding hero.
ADVENTURES THROUGH THE TRILOGY
This game encapsulates three epic tales for all the Indiana Jones movie buffs: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. But here’s the twist: each story gets a playful LEGO retelling. They’ve dialed down the intensity, steering clear of heavy religious and political undertones, and cranked up the humor.
A WORLD BUILT OF LEGO
Everything you see, from the ornate temples to the tiniest props, is made of LEGOs. These aren’t just static decorations, either. Prepare to watch them disassemble, tumble, and be pieced back together, much like the temperamental LEGO tower you built as a kid.
ECLECTIC CAST OF CHARACTERS
Get ready to step into the shoes of not just Indiana Jones but a medley of characters. You’ve got heroes like Marion Ravenwood and Dr. Marcus Brody, and for those who like to walk on the wild side, villains such as Belloq and Mola Ram. Every character comes with their quirky tools and talents. Indiana’s got his trusty whip, the ladies have an impressive vertical leap, and if you ever wondered who’d interpret those ancient hieroglyphics, hand it over to the academics.
TWO ENGAGING MODES OF PLAY
The Story Mode serves up a feast of the film’s tales, keeping you on a linear track with set characters and cinematic interludes. Once you’ve had your fill, switch to the Free Play mode. This is where the fun amplifies! You can now jump between all the characters you’ve unlocked, reaching those hard-to-get places and gathering all the artifacts you might’ve missed the first time.
GATHER, EXPLORE, AND CO-OP
Breaking or building in this LEGO world rewards you with studs. Think of them as the currency to snag extra characters or cheeky cheat options when you’re at Barnett College, the game’s primary hangout. Fancy a walk down memory lane? Head to the college to revisit cutscenes or explore at your own pace. And hey, if you have a friend over, they can hop into the game anytime, making your adventures twice as fun!
So, prepare for a roller-coaster ride of humor, action, and “LEGO-fied” adventures with Indiana and the gang!
