LEGO Indiana Jones(PC) – review version beta

17Jun08

Yes this is a beta review since I cannot write a full review on this game. Read the rest of the article to see why.

Okay so Thursday I walk into the store and see LEGO indiana jones(PC – full retail version), so I decided to buy it(I enjoyed the starwars lego). So installed it, everything is great.

at first I notice there is no mouse to use at the main menu. So I thought ‘Okay , that probably doesn’t matter since it is most probably just a console > PC port’ .
I started playing and finished level one with a frustration, the camera views isn’t very welcoming.
Also frustrating keys and a all to easy gaming environment but at the same time frustratingly difficult(get touched 4 times and loose your lego bits)

Then I finished the level and only then realised there is only save points once you completed the level. Then on to level two started playing the first scene and then it went into an infinite loop(the enemies didn’t stop pouring in). So I restarted the game in frustration and then level 2 didn’t want to load. Showing only my lego icon and a black screen. I retried three times to no success and then finally it started.So I played passed scene 1 of the second level(a bar fight) and just as I’m about to end the frustrating level behind me…another glitch. I couldn’t move. All I could see was a blanket of snow.

So then I decided I’m going to let this game sleep until a patch is available.

Incase you’re wondering what specs I’m running : AMD 6000+ dc , 7900GTX 512MB graphics. 3gig DDR2 ram. Driver fully updated aswell as direct x 9.0c.

But the game has so much potential , that is the sad thing. I just wanna get home and play the game but I know it is just going to disappoint me again.
