I was majorly disappointed with the game control and graphics. It was too much like tomb raider for me. I expected more from Lucas Arts, especially considering their excellent efforts with the x-wing/tie fighter sims. Also the fact the game was delayed for almost two years led me to believe that the designers were trying to improve it, but they still released a half ass effort. DON'T buy this game.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!

THIs is a really high quality game! The graphics are Breath taking, the puzzels are awsome, and its a whole lot of fun! I would not recomend it to novice gamers unless you buy the Puzzel solutions book! from 1 to 10, 10 being the best I would give it a 30!
Not Great

This is not what I expected. After finishing "No One Lives Forever" and "Half-Life," I picked this game up. I was majorly let down. Making Indy move around is tiresome. Having to hold the shift key to make him run really stinks. I tried making him move off the mouse, but all he did was spin around in circles. Anyway, tough to get around. Also, when you have to fire your weapon, be prepapred to die many times because it's "auto-aim" and it sucks. Try a crosshair next time Lucas. Too much to remember here, with respect to the number of keyboard combinations you have to remember. Whoever designed this game needs to follow the lead of Cate Archer. Probably should have called this "Indiana Jones and the Save Every One Minute" game.
Flawed, but fun

I had big worries about this game. I used to play the old point and click adventures of indy and I was worried that, like its predisecors this would be insanley difficult. Thankfully it is not. I am a bad puzzle solver and luckily, (With the exception of the pyramid of the sun dial puzzle) none of the puzzles are that hard. The graphics are quite nice and the levels are gigantic and tempt lots of exploration. All of the characters are well done and interesting. The music is nice and you have a lot of neat weapons to choose from. However this game does have some flaws. First off, sometimes you will be walking around wondering what the heck you are supposed to be doing. Second, some of the enviorments are way too big. The third and biggest flaw is that the last levels are way out of place. The 2nd to last is strange but acceptable, but the last level is wayyyy out of place. The last flaw is that the ending is really dissapointing. Overall this is a fun game that will take up a lot of your time and is definatly one of the better Lucasarts titles.

This game is VERY challanging. That's why it's good.
There isn't very much action so that when there is action, you get all jumpy.
The graphics are ok. The controls are a bit difficult to memorize.
Not too bad

Even though I bought this game not that long ago, and it has been out for a while, it didn't take away from the game play. Yes, the graphics aren't that great, but what do you expect from a 3 year old game. But if you have a chance to play the newest Indiana Jones game then I suggest you play that instead. Or if your like me and don't have a system to support the game yet or don't have an Xbox then I would highly rocommend this game.

This is a great Indy game. My only problem with it was the poor plot. Lucasarts tried to put too much Sci-fi in it. Like the last level for example...in another dimension...not very Indylike.
Very cool game

If you're an Indiana Jones fan, there's no question; you're going to love this game.
Excellent, with a story that, unlike many other games, makes sense and makes you care about it.
I don't find this game so difficult as some people say it is. You just have to think like good old Dr. Jones in order to solve the puzzles and beat the bad guys.
