 Worth It June 18, 2008

I just bought my 8 year old a ds for his birthday and this is a game he picked out for it. He loves it! Not so easy he gets bored with it not so hard he gets frusrated. This game holds his attention. So glad he got it!
It was a mistake, but it was a fun mistake June 16, 2008

I dont know how I got this game, I originally ordered the version for the PSP, but Amazon sent me the DS instead. As it turns out, this game is fun on the DS as well. I just finished the story mode and am now working through the free mode to get all the extras, Graphics wise this game is a pleasant surprise and has convinced me to get the compleate Lego Star Wars as well. The game is short, but the size of the levels balances it out a bit I think, the game play is intriging as well (blowing into the mic in order to inflate rafts and such). As an Indy fan from way back I am happy to have a portable version and I've enjoyed this game, best mistake ever.

This is a great game, at first I wasn't sure I was going to like it because I usually prefer puzzle games but my son really wanted it so I bought it. I love the game you have to search for spots and clues and maps which makes it interesting. Even my 6 year old son loves it, we each have played it a lot but haven't been able to finish it yet. Would recommend for any age, its real fun.
 Extremely fun but has downfalls June 7, 2008

I really enjoy playing this game so far. It is definitely more fun than anything else I've played on DS; however, there are two major annoyances that are causing me to question if this game is worth it.
One thing buyers should be aware of is that the game requires a lot of time spent on it at once. As another user mentioned, you can't save it whenever you want, which is EXTREMELY inconvenient. When playing each level for the 1st time, you may find yourself in a level for more than an hour before you can exit and save. I can see how this would add to a parent's frustration in trying to get their child to do homework or go to bed. "I can't stop until I finish this level! I'll lose everything if I turn it off now!" (good thing it's summer)
One other annoyance is the glitches. I heard lego Star Wars crashed a lot so I didn't buy it. Well, after playing for 1 hour today, I crashed when picking up a weapon and lost that hour of progress. I was pretty frustrated.
So if you don't mind playing for long periods of time then this game is for you. I don't suggest it for the casual gamer though.
 Buggy and unplayable June 5, 2008

I had high hopes for this game, I really did. The Lego version of Star Wars was a total blast, and I'm almost as much of a fan of Indiana Jones as I am of Star Wars, so I eagerly purchased the game as soon as I saw it in the store.
Only to have my hopes totally destroyed. While the gameplay is just as fun as its sci-fi predecessor, it has some glaring bugs that render the game totally frustrating and unplayable.
In three gaming sessions, I've had the game freeze twice, both times right at the end of a chapter before the game actually saves anything. The only thing I could do was to power the DS off and back on, which meant I had to replay the entire chapter from the beginning.
Getting almost completely through a chapter only to have the game crash and force you to start over just totally sucked the fun out of it.
I'm hoping I just have a bad cartridge or something and that it's not a problem with the game programming, though either really makes me wonder how good is LucasArts' QA team.
