Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues This instant

When I first started playing this game, I wasn't too thrilled at all, but that was because I thought you had to play the games on the island in order to unlock the levels for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but this is not the case. You play those and have to do certain things to unlock the mini games that go along with each of the four movies. Sadly, I'm still missing a couple of them, but one seems kind of impossibe to get which is knocking down totems in a minute or under. Some of the journal pages are around the island and you can easily obtain without playing a sort of game.

This game is a bit different than the first. It takes you through Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and you play through 12 different levels that deal with the story of the movie. In the original you had to play through the story mode and free play mode and each one had a true adventurer bar that you had to fill up by obtaining so many knuts. In this one, you can fill it up in either mode and only have to do it once per level. There are also 10 golden hats or artifacts per level, in the original it was idols.

Golden legos are obtained by beating the mini games which you unlock by collecting journal pages around the island. There are 4 per each movie and they take you through various aspects of the films, basically the most imporant parts of the films. You usually play as only one specific character too like in the Maharaja Hunt you play as Short Round and that is it.

The graphics are definitely upgraded and I haven't tried the build your own adventure mode since that's not really my type of thing, but I think that's interesting that they added it.

A few of my complaints would be that on the island you have to reaccess certain spots. What you do doesn't stay and you have to keep redoing it in order to gain access to that part of the island again, like parts you unlock with the monkey, etc. It gets a bit tedious, especially when you only have a couple of journal pages left to obtain.

My second complaint would be some of the jumps are kind of hard to do, especially if you have to keep jumping from rope to rope, especially in the Maharaja Hunt. It got a bit tedious to have to keep trying to get past these sections and jumps. Plus, I ran into a couple of glitches too, one was in a free play spot where you gained a hat, but the first one had a few glitches too.

Overall, the game is enjoyable and if you like the first, you will probably like this one, even if you're not a fan of Crystal Skull. I liked the movie but I would have preferred to have more levels for the old movies than 12 for Crystal Skull. Another fun aspect was being able to throw a character over Indy. The first time I did it, it made me laugh and I liked how everytime you used a weapon and your partner was by you, it didn't make them break apart.

In the end, if you like a game that is going to take up lots of time and you're a fan of the original, and a fan of the movies, you should enjoy this game, minus a few of the more difficult parts.Get more detail about Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues.
