Oh well, it rocks anyway. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far.

Yeah, I'm about done with it... at like 92%

Played it more than Ninja Gaiden 2

That's what the knight did in the movie!

Well, he sorta fell over while trying to attack Indy. But it was still an attempt!

This is by the same team that did Lego Star Wars, right? I was really happy with the first one, and though Lego Star Wars 2: Original Trilogy was pretty good on the first play-through, it was short. And on replay it really felt flat and chore-like to play, largely because some missions are more or less impossible to complete without dying (the main source of 360 Achievements).

So, just as a barometer what did you pro-Indy Lego guys think of the Lego Star Wars games? Will I find Indy to be similar?

demi · « **Reply #7 on:** June 08, 2008, 03:59:17 AM »

Indy is better

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #8 on:** June 08, 2008, 04:22:31 AM »

I agree. I prefer Indy to Star Wars, but I'm sure Star Wars nerds will prefer it over Indy. It's just a matter of taste and whatnot. There's so much shit to collect - I'm going to definitely be playing this one for a bit. The puzzles are fun too. The fighting animations are hysterical. Nazis are so cy-ote!

When you collect all the artefacts in Temple of Doom, you unlock a bonus level of the Young Indy sequence from Last Crusade

And you can unlock...

If you didn't grab a shovel from a previous part of the stage in Pursuing the Ark, you're pretty much screwed when you're that landing pad area with the big, badass LEGO Nazi, eh?

demi · « **Reply #12 on:** June 08, 2008, 04:33:31 AM »

Nah, to beat that guy, all you do is take the anvil and walk up to him, he will punch it and get hurt

Fight the guys (jump in the plane and use the guns) , then build the next anvil, repeat

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #14 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:59:13 AM »

This is seriously an amazing game. I finished the three movies but have been going back to find the treasures (with some cheat codes on like Treasure locator which just points an arrow towards treasures, you still have to figure everything out with the puzzle) and it's not boring or repetitive at all. You would think that going back after beating the game and collecting shit would be tedious but TT seriously put a lot of thought and detail into these puzzles so it's like a ton of brand new content just waiting there for you. Also, it's very easy switching characters... you get one of each important gadget / weapon character and just press RB/LB (360 version) to switch between them. I initially thought it would only allow you to choose two meaning it would take ages to get all the treasures since you'd have to restart over and over again but that's not the case, you get all the required characters in Free Play.

Game is absolutely phenomenal. I cannot wait for Batman. I'm not even like a big fan of Indiana Jones... I saw the movies as a kid and haven't been a fan or whatever yet the game is so fun and so filled with stuff and the puzzles are so well done that the fact that the theme doesn't interest me makes no difference. Now with Batman... I love Batman, everyone loves Batman so LEGO gameplay + the Batman universe = a true masterpiece in the making. I like this game 10 or 11 times more than I liked GTA4... just goes to show you that critics mean jack shit most of the time.

MrSingh · « **Reply #15 on:** June 08, 2008, 10:04:01 AM »

How is it compared to the Lego Star Wars games? I found Lego Star Wars fun to play, but ultimately didn't bother playing each mission more than once.

Its glitched to shit, to the point where stuff that is supposed to happen,doesn't so you have to start the level over.

I've never had that happened and have played for hours. Do you have the DS version or something?

It as horrible tearing.

Turn on v-sync then. No more screen tearing.

The platforming is ridiculous. I've missed a rope so many times because i thought i was right in front of it, when it was like 3 feet to the right.

This just sounds like a personal problem!

demi · « **Reply #18 on:** June 08, 2008, 03:37:38 PM »

I am at 98%

Need to grind now... the Treasure multipliers are like, 2 million, 4 million, and 6 million each

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #19 on:** June 08, 2008, 03:39:36 PM »

I bow down to your awesomeness. I'm nowhere close. Should I buy a strategy guide to get all the unlockables?

I highly doubt LIJ > MGS4, but you guys have convinced me to try it out. Please tell me I get to watch a Lego heart get ripped out by a Lego...whatever that guy's name is. oh mum cheeba oh mem cheeba

Nah they dont show the heart ripping scene, but they show the guy getting decap'd by the plane, and the guy getting squished by the roller

Wow, the Temple of Doom part totally rocks. It's like the source material was perfect for a LEGO videogame. This game keeps getting better and better!

Third · « **Reply #24 on:** June 08, 2008, 07:12:31 PM »

Lego SW bored the shit out of me. The game was way to easy and you had to collect stuff like a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.

I think I'll pass on this one.

demi · « **Reply #25 on:** June 08, 2008, 07:22:31 PM »

Apparently there is a glitch, when you buy (

) an artifact, it gives you 4 billion coins instead

I wish that happened to me

demi · « **Reply #28 on:** June 08, 2008, 07:52:52 PM »

Ok, the cheats on GameFAQs for the parcels count towards percentage, and they dont affect achievement. Just entered the Treasure multipliers and voila, 100%.

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #29 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:38:48 PM »

Wow you didn't know about them? I've been using them for a couple days now... got 4 billion coins. The treasure locator one is great... I've only got 3 treasures left, three! I got 177 out of 180 so far

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #30 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:42:08 PM »

Make that 2 left

after you get all 180, you unlock 3 bonus levels

btw, i also found R2D2, C3PO, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca...didn't use the guide for them either. demi owned

demi · « **Reply #31 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:47:58 PM »

Ok, well you better catch up... I am about to hit 1000

And you dont need all 180, you just need all the artifacts from that movie to unlock its bonus level -- Warehouse (Last Crusade) dosnt even count towards achievements

No vsync in 360 version and its a well known complaint, been mentioned in reviews.

Yes, there is! I have it turned on.

demi · « **Reply #33 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:54:25 PM »

V-Sync locks it to 30, and it looks nasty... its like a slideshow in comparison

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #34 on:** June 08, 2008, 08:55:00 PM »

It's pretty rock solid. There's no dips. But it takes a bit to get used to 60fps to 30fps. I'll take a rock solid 30fps w/ no screen tearing over 60fps w/ screen tearing.

no that's wrong... you have to get each one manually. I initially bought them all and the 3 secret levels didn't unlock. I asked the xbox forum and they said you need to get them all manually

good luck!!!

demi · « **Reply #36 on:** June 08, 2008, 09:04:59 PM »

Oh, I didnt know about buying the artifacts until just now, but you have to find all the artifacts from that Movie to unlock its respective bonus level

demi · « **Reply #37 on:** June 08, 2008, 09:08:28 PM »

Just turn on the Artifact Locator, they're all pretty easy to find.

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #38 on:** June 08, 2008, 09:12:15 PM »

That's what I've been doing. But it shows you where it'll appear, not what to do to get it to appear.

Still useful though.

Well what is bothering you? A couple not obvious ones are in "Trouble In The Sky" at the part where you ride the tractor, head back and run over the three red circles to sprout mushrooms, then bash the mushrooms. The second is in Motorcycle Escape, theres a room with a tractor you can fix. Take it outside, then run over the three little fields to sprout carrots.

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #40 on:** June 08, 2008, 09:15:26 PM »

Playing the Young Indy level now... amazing

This is how achievements should be done. You work to get them and get rewarded by brand new content in the game, not JUST the points. LEGO is now one of my favorite game series.

i shouldn't have said 'work' because at least in thsi game it didn't feel like work collecting all those treasures... it was fun figuring out all the puzzles and seeing all the new content / rooms / etc

Well anyway.. I can't wait for Batman. It's gonna be incredible especially since it's a cool theme and all the characters in the universe are recognizable. Indy was amazing, way better than GTA4.
