Lego Indiana Jones to feature two-player co-op, not four

by Scott Jon Siegel { Feb 23rd 2008 at 9:00AM }

An earlier report that LEGO Indiana Jones will feature four-player cooperative play has proven to be false. The game will instead feature the same two-player drop-in, drop-out gameplay as seen in the LEGO Star Wars titles, as well as the upcoming LEGO Batman.

The confusion stems from MTV's recent sit-down with developer Traveller's Tales, who discussed the game's features, including the ability to have up to four characters on-screen at any time. Understandibly, MTV misconstrued this to mean that four players could play simultaneously, when in fact Traveller's Tales was merely highlighting that players could switch between multiple on-screen characters -- a feature that should be familiar to fans of TT's other LEGO games. Apologies to our readers for the erroneous information. We cool?

This went from buy to bye.

That's a little far, don't you think?

I don't see it as a big deal, though three player co op for Temple of Doom would have been nice. Two player co op for Raiders and Crusade would make sense though.

Got the complete for the co-op but found out that what I got wasn't mine so if that's not in the indy/batman I'll wait for a drop in price.

Honestly, I was trying to figure out how 4 player co-op would work. It's hard enough to get two people to move to the same room, jump over the right ledges, etc. especially when the other player is young or more casual-gaming oriented.

As far as I'm concerned, if this game (and Lego Batman) keep the same quality standards delivered by their Star Wars brothers, then buying it is really not a qandry to me.
