Adventure has a first name ...it's I-N-D-Y!

I bought this game the minute it came out, based on a small blurb in X-Box magazine and a preview movie seen on a demo disc. I cannot praise this game enough. If you are a fan of Indiana Jones you will dig this game. The levels are challenging and I find my palms sweating as I complete each level. The tension is high and situations pretty scary at times. The game automatically saves at certain points making it an even greater challange than if you had the freedom to save each time you jump to a precarious ledge or swing on chains high in the air. The gameplay is easy and the graphics are beautiful. The variety of weapons Indy gets to use are very satisfying as well. The hand to hand combat is fun to watch and raining blows down upon your opponents is a riot. There are puzzles to figure out as well so the game is not just continuous action scenes. If you are even considering buying this game, don't waste your time, just buy it!

Great Game

I played the demo of this game and the game play is a blast. The graphics are pretty good and the sound is great. If you like a fun action game that is really close to the idiana jones movies then I would buy this game.

Underrated Game

Don't pay attention to this game reviews on IGN (6,1) and Gamespot (6,6), they don't do this game justice. Sure, the graphics could have been better, but they aren't bad at all; Indy himself are very well done, as are his animations. Yes, there are some bugs, but they don't hurt the fact that this game is very fun to play; the fights are simply fantastic, and the exploration aspects very entertaining. If you like good adventure games, with good story and challenges, this game is for you.

THE OTHER REVIEWERS SEEM TO BE ON TRACK. YOU MAY HAVE TO PLAY SOME LEVELS A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND AN IN-GAME SAVE WOULD BE NICE. OVERALL, THIS GAME WAS FUN...THE CONTROLS WERE EASY TO GET A GRASP ON, AND THE GAME PRESENTED ENOUGH CHALLENGE WITHOUT BEING A BREEZE. THERE WERE A FEW ROUNDS WHERE THE FORMAT WOULD CHANGE AND I WOULD GET IRRITATED. AFTER PLAYING SEVEN ROUNDS WITH ONE CAMERA ANGLE IT IS HARD TO SUDDENLY WORK WITH ANOTHER FOR ONE ROUND.
THIS GAME HAS GOOD SOUND AND GRAPHICS AND PAYS SPECIAL ATTENTION TO DETAILS. LEVELS ARE GUARDED BY BOSSES, WHICH I THOUGH WAS A LITTLE SILLY, AND DIDN'T FIT WITH THE INDY THEME, BUT THIS GAME IS A BLAST.

Beautiful graphics, Challenging and Fun!!

This game was a lot of fun. If you are familiar with the Buffy the Vampire Game you will find that the controls are very similar. It is made by the same company. Like the Buffy game, you can't save just anywhere and have to wait for the section to end before it automatically saves. I know others have complained about this but at the same time when you finally get a difficult level finished you feel greatly satisfied and I don't think you'd be able to feel that way if you could save everytime you had to go into battle or make a difficult jump.

Although Harrison Ford does not do the voice of Indy you wouldn't know it if they didn't tell you. The voice actor is great and sounds just like him.

I didn't find the controls hard to master at all with the exception of doing some of the puzzles which required you to switch back and forth between views to change stuff. That part I got a little confused about. Other than that the controls seemed smooth to operate and it has a sort of training in the beginning telling you how to do the different moves.

It had many different scenarios that were all very beautiful and well done. From scenes in a castle to scenes in a jungle and even a lot of under water swimming.

Indy has many weapons to choose from including, throwing knives, machetes, shotguns, revolvers, a whip and even a Xena like throwing thing that comes back to him.

This is a very fast paced game for some parts of it and the slightest error will kill you quick but like I said above, once you master it it's a blast to complete it.

I had one level near the end that I thought was ridiculously difficult and it was extremely frustrating to keep getting killed and then starting it all over with. It involved a lot of precisely timed jumping. It took me literally several hours to just get past that one point. But that could've just been me panicking everytime I had to start again! And there was one other part where you need to shoot down airplanes that may also have to be done many times before you can complete it.

I would've rated the game at 4.5 stars instead of 5 just for that one difficult level but because I wasn't given that option I gave it five stars.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the game is rated "Teen". Although there is no blood at some points you can shoot someone in the back of the head to kill them instantly. Some parents may not want their kids to play this because of that. Again, there isn't any blood but the act of targeting someone's head and then shooting is very violent.

THIS IS THE BEST

So far this is the best game that I have ever played. It includes many concepts as in fighting, first-person shooting, and strategy. The music is phenomonal, and taken directly out the movies. The graphics and sound are nearly perfect, but there are better. This game has a ton of fighting moves. You can grab, shove, and throw people off great heights and kill them. You have to explore many stategic levels in Asia 1935. Some places are Ceylon, Prague, and Istanbul. You can use weapons such as a Machine gun, Revolver, and Luger. You can also use items scattered throughout the game such as a table leg, lead pipe, shovel, or liquor bottle. You use water to replenish your health, but that can run out. There are 20 artifacts scattered throughout the game to find. You unlock something if you get all 20. I currently have 13. This game is not appropriate for children under the age of 12 or 13. Parents may decide if they do not want guns in their childrens games. This was written by a 13-year old Indiana Jones fan, and game owner. A MUST BUY FOR INDY LOVERS!

Awesome

This is a fantastic game. I'm not what most would call a "gamer" - I play maybe an hour or two a week - so maybe I'm looking at it differently than some other reviewers, but isn't it SUPPOSED to be hard? What's the point of an easy game? You want easy? Go play Candyland. This game is tough. It's got dozens of scenarios, villains, traps, etc, just like the movies do.
The graphics are stunning, the sound is terrific...all in all, a great game!

let's kick some Nazi butt!

This is the best Indiana Jones game by far! The Infernal Machine sucked! I'm a fan of the movies and loved this game!
It's so fun to beat up Nazis, Chinese guards, Gestapo, the Black Dragon Triad, and much more!

It took me two years to beat this game and when i finally finished it, I didn't want it to be over!
You start out searching for the Idol of Kouru-Whatu, a mythical artifact located deep inside the caverens of Ceylon ( Sri-lanka). You get lots of time to get aquinted with the easy controls, and still get to kick some mercenary ass.
After that, you return to Barlem College where he is met by two people from china.
Marshall Kai, and his assistant Mei Ying, who of course becomes Indy's girlfriend.

This game is set in 1935 before the Temple of Doom. Anyway, you get hired to find a chinese artifact that was buried with the first emperor of China, Ch'in Shi'huang Ti. You go to Prague castle to search for the second part of the Mirror of Dreams, an object that can show you the hidden booby traps in the tomb.
It turns out that MarshaLL Kai is actually the leader of the Black Dragon Triad and had formed an alliance with the Nazis to recover the Heart of the Dragon. This leads to trouble and at the end you get to kill Kai with a sharp blade. All through Prague you'll be pitted against the merciless Gestapo.

Indy gets captured at prague and taken to istanbul for interogation. you break out of your cell and recover the third part of the mirror. Don't worry, the levels are easy to figure out complete with turkish/iraquis gaurds.

After that, Mei Ying invites indy to the Golden Lotus opera house in Hong Kong. Unfortuneatly, Marshall Kain interupts their quiet dinner and captures miss ying. You fight off fifty triad members and waiters before finding your way outside just as Mei is driven away in a car, tied up. You hitch a ride with Wu Han and engage in an intence shootout against cars and motorcycles pursuing you with machine guns. You end up at the docks just as mei ying and your nazi nemisis Von Beck sail away on a submarine.

you end up going to peng lai island, where kai's castle and a nazi base is located. you find a change of clothes and only keep your identity hidden for about two levels.

you get to kai's fortress and fight your way into the fortress. this is when you begin to fight zombies and other supernatural beings.

you get to the emperor's tomb and find the heart. bla bla bla........you win, after you kill of Marshall Kai. As for von beck, he falls into a bottomless pit a few levels earlier.

buy this game!

Amazing!!!

I've never liked games based on movies...until now. This game is worth buying and more, like i did today. When i put this game in my XBOX, my dreams of when i was 10 years old came alive. You use your whip, machette, and guns to help you get through many levels in a game that does more than just shoot people. The game takes place in the 1930's and i don't know if i've seen better graphics in a game. One thing I like about Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Toom is that it seems to follow Newton's 3rd law: Every action has and equal but opposite reaction. Everything you see can have a different way of helping Indy get through the challenge. If your looking for pure fun, get this game, even if your not an Indiana Jones fan, but if you are, then this just may be your favorite game.
