 Best DS Game Ever! September 14, 2008
My kids and I fight over who gets to play the one copy of this game we have. It's completely addictive. I don't like a lot of other games for DS but I love this one!
The LEGO adventures continue! September 8, 2008

Building upon LEGO Star Wars this game continues the fun, innovative, child friendly LEGO environment that Star Wars introduced. If you child (or you) loved Star Wars then game will be a hit. The interface is very similar so initial play is quick to pick up. This game adds more of the interactive aspects of the DS, such as have to blow into the microphone to extinguish torches, which increases the fun factor. There are also mini games and other activities which must be complete to unlock those last few special items.
The overall layout of the game is similar to Star Wars as well in terms of each Indiana Jones movies be a doorway with individual game segments within each that unlock as you complete.
Bottom line: If you like LEGO Star Wars, a must have. If you did not care for it, this is more of the same.
I can't pry this game from my son's hands!! September 5, 2008

My son (8 yrs old) loved the Star Wars Lego games so I got him the Indiana Jones Lego game for his DS. He has been playing the game pretty regularly for almost a month now. He's about 70% through after that time. I think that is pretty good for a video game. He's driven to finish it all up and I have no doubt he will.
If all games held his attention for that long without swearing or graphic violence, this wouldn't be the exception, but it is!! This game is rated appropriately and the challenges and rewards are appropriate for the level.
I'll definitely keep my eyes out for other Lego themed games assuming they are of appropriate genre.
GREAT DS GAME!!! July 29, 2008
This DS game is based on the Lego Star Wars game. It's funny when the Lego characters die, they break. There is a control that you may need to know. When the top screen says blow, you either need to use the DS microphone or the DS lite top screen. BUY THIS GAME!!!
 FREEZE right there Indy... July 29, 2008

Ok, so as far as DS games go, being a lego fool, and a HUGE Indiana Jones fan, I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun and how cute this game is.
Fun I give it 4 stars overall. It draws on the various Indiana Jones films and the interaction is set along the story lines of the movies! GREAT! 5 Stars.
Draw back? You can't save along the way so you are forced to finish the chapter in order to auto save. The problem with this is, you better not be ready to put it down when you are at the Dr's office waiting, because you will have to redo the chapter if you turn it off.
Other draw backs, the Tag characters, (these are the ones that stay with you and assist you i.e. Marion etc..)get in the way a lot and I find myself tripping over them and trying to get around them to get items that drop. Sometimes these Tag buddies get stuck and can cause problems like blocking your way when you are trying to go somewhere that will get you killed. Whats fun about the Tag buddies is that you will have to play the chapters over again several times and take different Tag buddies with you in order to find new things. This makes the game last longer and makes it more interesting.
On the Plus side, graphics are adorable and in whole is fun to watch. The mini movies are really great and full of laughs.
FREEZE right there Indiana....and he will...and so will you...because this game is a bit buggy. I purchased a new copy, and played it several times and each time the game froze over and again at the end of chapter 2 called "Fight at the Raven" I would get through the entire chapter, watch the mini movie and then it would freeze. The only way out, is to turn it off and reboot. Now remember that part about not being able to save? You know, where I said it will auto save after the chapter is complete? Well since it freezes at the end of the chapter, it never saved and I had to try playing this whole chapter over and over again to determine if this was a bug or a fluke. After several tries and a lot of lost patience I found it froze in the same place each time.
I have since exchanged it, and will strike out to rumble with Indy again...hopefully this copy will work. If it were not for this issue I would have rated it 4 stars.
