Lego Indiana Jones gameplay video swings into our hearts

by Justin McElroy { May 2nd 2008 at 4:00PM }

Though we were already excited about Lego Indiana Jones, our desire for the game is something more akin to fever pitch now that we've seen the above gameplay video. It features almost all our favorite Indy moments just as we remember them from our childhood only, you know, stubbier.

One of the more pleasant surprises is that although the characters all look (as you would expect) as if they were created from molded plastic, the environments are really nicely rendered. We say that so we have a grown up reason for being so excited, but the truth is that there's a part where he whips Willie and kisses her and it's adorable.

Absolutely phenomenal looking. I might have to take the day off to play it.

Lego Indiana Jones is shivering with fear in the presence of snakes. I'm buying this game just to park him in from of a snake pit and leave that on my TV forever.

If I've learnt anything from Lego Star Wars, it's the fact that you want the stud magnet ASAP. Walking over every single bloody stud was driving me mad!

Looks more like Lego Star Wars III than anything new. Eh.

You're pretty perceptive, eh? except it doesn't have any space ships, lightsabers, wookies, death stars, or the force. Not to mention the characters...

Gameplay similarities aside, the bottom line is light hearted good fun. Can't wait to play it and laugh like I did with Lego Star Wars!

Can you rip the living heart from a lego man?

It looks cool. Though I'm probably the only person who was disappointed in lego star wars. As a co-op game it was great.. but in single player I found the gameplay pretty dull. (though the cutscenes made it worth finishing).

I kinda wish you had more control over the lego building parts... like you could choose to build different structures with the pile of bricks.

Being chased by bad guys, do you build a ladder to escape, a catapult to fire at them, or kart to ride away?
