MTV's Multiplayer spent some time with Traveller's Tales' upcoming Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures and survived a giant boulder to reveal various details about the game chronicling Indy's first three adventures. If you've played any of the Lego Star Wars games then you're already familiar with the set-up of this title. Barnett College serves as the hub (like Mos Eisley cantina in Star Wars) allowing players to access the 18 levels of the game. There are other Star Wars standards like the "Free Play" mode, but the producers say that Lego Indy will be more "adventure style" than Star Wars' fighting emphasis.
As for game mechanics, the whip on Wii will function similar to the lightsaber waggle and not have "1:1 remote-to-whip synchronized control." Though the Nazis have been removed from the game, the producers say the movie plots will stay intact. They also say despite puzzles being designed for two players, the console versions will support up to four players simultaneous. Lego Indiana Jones should be ready for discovery June 3.

The removal of Nazis is a corporate decision by Lego, a European company that sells its products worldwide. While I am disappointed by the games and toys not staying true to the original films, I also understand Lego's desire to not provide toys with Nazi imagery. As a parent and an adult, I can respect Lego's decision, and still enjoy their products.

Regardless of what JayVe said, removing original content because of sensitivities is a sad trend. Why rob your children of the joy that is killing Nazis?

No Nazis means no Indiana Jones and, therefore, no Lemmiwinks.

Reading these LDF comments is like watching a rubber-band powered rocket trying to leave the atmosphere.

Haha, no truer words have ever been spoken. I wonder if they realize the joke wasn't funny the first time.

wait- how can there be no Nazis???? Are you kidding me? That's like Star Wars without the Empire! Lord of the Rings without Mordor!
Is the German market so important that they need to take the essence of the IP away from it? Complete BS. How about to ritual cult sacrifice while we're at it. Then we can rename it 'National Treasure' and forget about it.
I was pumped for this game. Now I don't care.
Travellers Tales... I hate these guys...

Agreed. You can't do Indiana Jones without Nazis. Political Correctness has now invaded video games. Sad.

How the hell is it politically incorrect to include nazis? All Indy does is either kill them graphically or allow them to melt themselves by incurring the scorn of god. Are they the Badds now? Who the fuck is he keeping the Ark away from, who the hell is trying to steal the holy grail? What! the! fuck!

I believe the removal of the Nazi's is not tied to this video game or even video games in general, but rather to Lego. The real Lego toys also have the Nazis removed. I believe it is their company policy that forced the removal, not Lucasarts or Traveller's Tales.
