LEGO® Indiana Jones™ 2: The Adventure Continues

this games okay i guess

In my opinion, this is the worst of all the Traveller's Tales Lego games. The gameplay is centred around hubs unique to each chapter - not necessarily a problem on its own, though a bit clunky. The hubs themselves are the problem: they are MASSIVE. They each take a significant amount of time to get around and find things on, made far worse by the second unusual choice they made in this game and is probably the one that'll put most people off. You cannot change characters on the fly. You have to locate, run down and choose each character, which gets incredibly annoying when their set spawn point is the other end of the hub and they are the only one with their designated ability (which you need for a level you just came out of because you weren't told beforehand and can't switch to them in said level, and you now have to travel back to to enter). A HUGE PERCENTAGE of playtime is just running back and forth throughout the sprawling, boring hub zones looking for objects to break. Part of this is a third strange choice: there are no secrets in the levels themselves. There are no minikits. Just things you find and break in the hubs, which unlock the (surprisingly few in number)…

its lego and fun

It’s fun. But it’s not the first LEGO game I’d get, not even the first LEGO Indiana Jones I’d get.

If you want to talk about childhood nostalgia, this is it. I played the hell out of this on the Wii.
