Lego Indiana Jones 2 swinging to stores this fall

Lego: The Guy Game?

Better hop into the nearest fridge, in case you get nuked for that. :P

Instant purchase for me too. Loving all the Lego and being able to play with my 6 year old is awesome.

People act like there was anything in Crystal Skull that was more ridiculous than a box that melts faces. :P

Or get your Tarzan on and swing away

Let us not forget jumping out of an airplane and using a raft for a parachute. :)

The source article says that this is "a tongue-in-cheek take on all four cinematic adventures of pop culture's most iconic archaeologist"... So I guess it already IS Lego Indiana Jones: The Complete Saga?

Yeah, I only realised that after. Not so bad then, but it's going to depend on how much new content is actually added. By the sound of it, it's nothing that couldn't have just been done via DLC.

-1 point for you. learn to troll nub. if your gonna do something do it right.

Whips, snakes and fedoras.

Which would also make a great sub name for this.

Actually you messed up. Lego Batman was the one to play if any. Especially if you're a fan. You weren't always switching between characters and such during each mission. And the ability to play as the villains really changed things up nicely. Now Lego Rock Band.....why the hell do we need that?

I disagree, Lego Batman is the one you should avoid..

It was very lazily made and it shows. The levels are shorter than they were in Indiana Jones and there's less of them (only 5 per chapter) and many of them are very badly designed, especially the vehicle missions which are practically broken.

Why can you unlock and use different vehicles if you need to have certain ones to actually complete them? That made no sense. Unlike with Indy, you could tell that this was a port of Star Wars that was reskinned with a few Batman elements.

Because, Storm Eagle, LEGO Rock Band is going to be 100% deep-fried awesome...

...for my four-year-old.

Not that that'll stop me from playing it, naturally.

Anyone want to explain why they disagree?

I wasn't just making that stuff up, the vehicle levels literely were reskinned versions of the Lego Star Wars levels.

Well, yes, you needed the different vehicles to unlock certain doors, but in Lego Star Wars you could unlock the X-wing, Mellinium Falcon, Arc Fighters, and practically every other ship from the Star Wars movies, and then go back and play through the levels using them. In Batman, that didn't work because you needed certain vehicles for certain situations. So although you could unlock things like Scarecrows biplane, you couldn't actually use it for anything.. It wasn't very well thought out.

I'd also disagree about the powers, although the item switching in Indy wasn't that great, I felt each of the different classes had pretty fun and unique abilties.. Archaelogists being able to read old text and open doors, or being able to dig with the shovel, etc. The different suits Batman and Robin got were pretty lame.. and most of them were only used once or twice.

The villians were a lot more interesting, but even they had problems. The second player would constantly have to play as the same character, for example. I didn't think it was a *bad* game, but it definitely had a lot less effort put into it than the other two.

Ok, wait, sorry but it sounds like you didn't play the games that thoroughly. In Lego Star Wars, those vehicles are only available for Free Play mode, for Story mode you had to stick to the Millennium Falcon or the whatever they gave you, this was the same in Lego Batman. The Scarecrows biplane actually had use in the Free Play as you need it to access certain areas for mini-kits.

For the powers: I'll see your reading old text and digging with shovel and raise you mind controlling NPCs and gliding =). I guess better powers is a matter of opinion. However, I have to say that each suit for Batman and Robin was used MANY times throughout. The attract suit for Robin/Nightwing was probably used in every on-foot level for something, and if you didn't have the Penguin or Man-bat you were pretty much gliding everywhere with Batman/Batgirl.

Also, I enjoyed the combat a great deal more since each significant Hero/Villain had their own special attack. Although most of them it was just a grapple, each was unique and fun to watch, Bane was especially great when he throws the enemy completely straight up off screen! The only downside was that the grapple for each person only works on their side of the story, as in the Heroes can only grapple on Hero levels, and Villains can only grapple on Villain levels. However, other side attacks, such as Poison Ivy's kiss and Joker's electric shock worked on both sides.

There are obviously areas that could've used more effort, but that's pretty much the same with all of them. Lego Indy and Star Wars used way too many new outfits to booster their character list. And in Lego Indy, the combat could've used more variety.

My biggest problem with all of them, of course, are the friggin' breakable items at the edge that just resulted in studs dropping off the edge and giving you no way to recover them. I realize most of them are just the $10 silver studs, but I want them all dammit!

Oh I also forgot:

The second player can definitely switch to different characters in Free Play mode. And neither player can switch characters in Story mode, you have to use what's available.

Lego Final Fantasy: each chapter is 1 final fantasy game.

that would be awesome sauce

LEGO Back to the future (All the movies obviously. This would be awesome and have such great gameplay diversity - flying cars! Horseriding!)

LEGO Fast and the furious (All the movies, could get a bit samey though)

LEGO Bond movies! (Imagine the cash cow that could be! They'd never get the license though...)

Yeah it definitely couldn't be as long as the other games. Unless they have a whole level of swinging with monkeys.

Indeed.

Although I could be a disk with all of the old stuff along with the new stuff kind of like the Complete Saga thing they did with Star Wars, but the subtitle "The Adventure Continues" doesn't seem like it lends itself to that very well to me.
