I hate to say this, but I'm old enough to have enjoyed growing up with the Indiana Jones films through my youth and so playing this game seemed like something I could really enjoy, and it certainly looks pretty enough on top end hardware. Indy's character looks and sounds excellent and so does some of the settings.
But I've stopped playing, because it's just plain boring.
The gameplay is really terrible, it's like it was designed for a toddler.
I've got to the area (sorry I was so bored I didn't even pay attention) where your navigating by boat through a jungle setting. And I've given up after spending too much patience with the whole travesty, and the constant cut scenes.
Initially the game started off well, if not a bit slow, and a bit fetch n carry, back n forth, and Indy is certainly no Lara croft... More like old man when it comes to traversing the environment.
The location settings and atmosphere are lovely, yes the combat is basic and clunky (but fun using different objects to hit people with), guns are pointless as they result in a death sentence from the npc's. And the stealth is a joke.
And then you meet the female side kick, and my word is goes down hill fast:.......
Indiana Jones and the nagging house wife.
Indiana Jones and the constant cut scenes.
Indiana Jones and the glitching side kick that stops progress.
Indiana Jones and the puzzles for baby.
Indiana Jones and the wife that doesn't like you exploring.... Over here Indy, it's this door Dr Jones, it's this, it's this....... etc etc.
Aaargh!
Reviews say this has a great story.... Personally I can't see this for the lack of gameplay.
Shame.
3/10
not doing a completionist run and just enjoying the story really. v. good!
