Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues - Nintendo Wii

Being a big fan of the LEGO series of adventure games, I just had to try this one out. Let me just say I loved it!I really like the new layout with actual objectives in the hubs, and the creator is a an awesome addition.The only shortcomings I found, and these are more personal taste than anything else, is the lack of "Freeplay" mode, and the sparse treatment given the three original films compared to KOTCS which got three hub levels of it's own.These are only minor issues, and are quickly forgotten due to the level of fun. Also, the shortened versions of the original stories also means that this game doesn't negate "Lego Indiana Jones- The Original Adventures", which is a good thing for those of us who want 'MORE LEGO!'.Just as addictive for the whole family as it's predecessors, while still new and different enough to keep it fresh. LEGO games have hit the mark again!

I got this for my wife to play on our WII after she loved the first Lego Indian Jones so much. This one is much more expanded and she'll be "enjoying" the challenge much longer. We did have an initial problem with saving the game, which was resolved by erasing the data storage that was initially setup. This may have had something to do with the patching that is done when the game is first installed. You'll know you have this issue if you lose your points when you exit the game and restart it. Just use the Wii menus to delete the storage for this game, not the data stored for version 1 be careful! One more thing - be patient and be thorough in each level - sometimes you have to go to another zone and go back to complete the previous zone.

I should've known better after trying Lego Indiana Jones I, but I was hoping for better. This was disappointing and doesn't feel super-replayable to me. New worlds are great, but graphics are not, even for a lego game.

This was one of my first experiences into the world of Lego games for the Wii. I had a great time! I have never been big into video games in the past, and then I mostly played Party Games with my godchildren for a couple years before I got this. When I first got the Wii, I ventured into the land of Zelda, but again, this was the first real Lego game I ventured into. It is simple enough that those of us who are relatively inept at video games can find it simple enough, but challenging enough to hold our interest.I am not the type of person you will find sitting around playing Call of Duty, but after purchasing this, I did go out and get other Lego games for the Wii, I had so much fun on this one.

I just completed the game and had a blast doing it! The formula has been changed a bit from the earlier Lego games, but there are some welcome new additions, too. The pros: better weapon function with Wii remote targeting (similar to Batman's Batarangs), much better vehicle challenges that are actually fun and allow you to get in and out of the vehicle, improved graphics, lots of large areas to explore, no repeated content from first Lego Indy game. The cons: no treasure chests within the levels (This has been replaced with other hide-and-seek bonus stuff, but I still miss replaying the levels to find treasure.); shorter levels with frustrating 'boss' levels and repetitive bonus levels; no single 'home base' for checking progress (confusing at first). All in all, this is a more sophisticated game, but I wish they had stuck a little more closely to the original format. Still, if you love the Lego games, you'll definitely be hooked!

My son and I enjoyed the original LEGO Indiana Jones immensely and were very excited about the sequel. We preordered it months ago and counted down the last few days until it arrived. Unfortunately, this game lacks any of the charm or fun of the original.There are a ton of lengthy cut scenes and simplistic levels. Unlike the Star Wars, Batman, and Indiana Jones (original) games, there is not a single base where you can buy stuff, see the artifacts you have collected, and choose to replay any of the levels. Instead, you wander around composite levels for each adventure with huge green arrows showing you where to go to enter one of the levels. Except when they don't show you the big green arrow and you are instead left to wander around until you happen to trigger a new level -- the whole thing makes no sense with no clear progression.Within a few hours of starting, my son had already run into a bug that prevented him from being able to complete a level. One of the on screen characters magically teleported himself outside of his prison cell, and once there could no longer run to the back of his cell leaving you the opportunity to grab the key from him. After much frustration, I convinced my son that he had to quit the level, abandoning his progress, and return. Sure enough, when we returned to the level the bug was resolved and we were able to grab the key and move on. The Batman game showed similar quality assurance defects -- such as random lockups -- and this game is following the same downward trajectory.The levels we have seen this far are largely free of puzzles. They generally involve smashing everything and collecting studs. The treasure chests that were so much fun to collect in the earlier game are not present here. Apparently there are some chests that can be collected in the base levels, but those are a tiny fraction of the number of puzzles in the earlier game.Instead of puzzles, we have seen a number of levels where it is completely unclear what you are supposed to do. Sure, we run around smashing stuff, but collecting studs won't get you out of the level. Instead, you'll see icons for some number of vehicles that you need to destroy, but apparently there is some special way you need to destroy them in order for it to count. We have already seen two such levels where we have destroyed every vehicle we saw but for some reason those didn't count -- you had to be in the right vehicle (presumably mirroring the movie?) when smashing those other vehicles for it to count. For a child who doesn't think like a programmer, this is ridiculously frustrating.One of the features we most looked forward to was the ability to split the screen so that two players could each explore different areas of a level. Unfortunately the implementation of this is so bad that it is actually a detriment to game play. When the screen splits, the programmers wanted to make sure that it could seamlessly rejoin, so they are always adjusting the perspective of the two halves so that they line up with one another. This means if you are standing still, lining up for a tricky jump and your partner is running around in another area, your half of the screen will rotate to reflect your relation to the other player and you will jump in a direction that you hadn't expected. Worse, the screen always splits with a diagonal line, which looks nice but makes it impossible to see where you are going when you need to drive upwards in one of the vehicle levels. It really feels like they advertised this feature before fully testing it... if they tested it at all.When we preordered this game, we gave our copy of the Original Adventure to one of my son's friends, figuring that the new game would be a superset and include all the content from the prior game. Not so. Once we unlocked Raiders of the Lost Ark and tried starting that, we were horrified to discover that they had deleted the Temple Escape scene, replacing it instead with a lame cutscene where Indy tosses the idol to Marcus and a giant boulder rolls over him -- in the college.Finally, a warning to parents. LEGO made the _same_ mistake with this game that they did with Batman. When my son discovered the Batman game, he really wanted some of the Batman sets, but LEGO pulled them all off the store shelves at about the same time and the aftermarket prices are absurd. This new game features the Crystal Skull and a lot of sets from that movie... just when LEGO has discontinued them and is selling off the remaining stock! So if you do buy this for your child, be prepared for the disappointment both in the game, and in the fact that it is a glorified advertisement for products that you won't be able to get your kids.The worst thing about this game is explaining to my son that the problems are with the game, not with him. When he runs into bugs, levels where the objectives are completely unclear, or insanely hard challenges, he gets extremely frustrated and angry with himself. If you want you child to grow up with positive gaming experiences, skip this one and get a Mario game instead.

We bought this game from a 3rd party seller through Amazon. Unfortunately, it was a US version that wouldn't play on our system and wasn't shown on the description. Cue one sad son.The retailer was brilliant and took the game back without argument, paid for return postage and gave a full refund.If you are buying new games at good prices - do check to see if they are UK games otherwise your standard (and unchipped) Wii is unlikely to play them.

Bought for my sons birthday, he opened it today and it doesn't work, very unhappy boy and very unhappy parent, do not buy from this seller!!!!!

A pesar de que en el título pone juego (Wii, ESP), el juego no funciona en las consolas españolas. Es NTSC - USA y no tienen versión PAL del producto.Gran decepción. Y además hay que proceder a su devolución, enviándolo a USA.

Great and fun video game for adults and kids alike

Cane earlier than expected. My child loves it!
