Game Research

I don't really play many video games beyond a few Wii games that we have. I chose to research one of these, Lego Indiana Jones.

This game recreates the adventures of the original Indiana Jones movies. It's divided into 3 stories -- Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and the Last Crusade. Each story has many chapters where you (as any of the characters in the section) have to explore your area, collect coins, battle enemies, and find a way to the next level. Once you beat all the levels, you can replay them using any characters you like and try to collect hidden treasures.

The game was developed as a complement to the Indiana Jones movies, and it was modeled after an previous similar game, Lego Star Wars. It was developed by Travellers Tales for Lego.

I think this game is really fun to play -- the levels can sometimes be challenging but are never too complex. There is a good mix of story and action, and there are many extras throughout the game. There are over 60 characters, some with special talents.
