The story of the game is reminiscent of the old Indiana Jones movies. There is war with the Germans (if the game never drops the word Nazis) and Hitler wants a secret weapon for his war, the fabled Staff of Kings. So Indy embarks on the rod of Moses, while it verschlägt him again around the globe.
The game makes fun here and there, but the right Indy feeling does not really arise. The levels are far too undetailiert designed and simply too short. If you have gambled through the game for a total running time of only 4 hours, is anything but a positive surprise. The areas are too limited. As an archaeologist, you want to discover it, but you can with Indy for a second from the specified path different to discover. It's annoying in the long run ungewaltig. Even Indiana acts compared to last film much older, since he can not even jump. Even the shootings are unspectacular. These take place at predetermined situations and resemble a shooting Budde. When all enemies are eliminated, goes Indy by itself just to the next shooting. Here, too, can not move freely to you.
The animation is rather shameful for 2009. So such a quality I had almost my old Playstation 1. Especially the story Einspieler are partly appalling animated. Inaccuracies are found as many as inconsistencies in the story.
This approach is in really good, but acts in the game too confused. Often one wonders exactly what searches Indy now actually where and why. There is not even the famous Indiana Jones travels on the plane with the corresponding scenes music and the red bar on the map. It is easy in the Himalayas suddenly, with no explanation.
The control is more than annoying. Again, Indy is rather limited. Ok, there are fistfights, but make it in the long run no longer entertaining usually follow the same pattern and are. Another shortcoming is the permanent store. Even during a short level are repeatedly charging pauses, which tremendously affects the flow of the game.
Nevertheless 2 stars because Indiana is just a hero of my childhood. It's also fun to swing the whip and beat up the bad Germans. The music, which was picked up from all 4 movies knows to convince.
For real gamers, the game is not recommended. Who but Indiana Jones like and just want to have fun for a few hours to put on the game without claims, is guaranteed to have his pleasure in it.
Let's hope that an "Indiana Jones 5" when he really has to come because, again returns to the roots of the series and Indiana Jones is thus helped out of the mire of a 0815 franchise back to its former glory. With this game, this is unfortunately not succeeded Mr. Lucas ... sorry.
