So much like the first Tomb Raiders...
... but very various in the scenarios and textures, and the story was well conceived. A must buy for the fans of Indy and old TRs' game mechanics!

A nice 3D adventure with Indy flavour.
Back when it was released, Infernal Machine was labeled as "another Tomb Raider clone" and reviewers didn't see further than that. While it is true that the game shares many mechanics and gameplay elements, it still has a personality of its own and does feel like a proper Indiana Jones adventure. The plot, while not as inspired as that from other Indy games, is nicely told in real time cutscenes, that not only show up at the beggining of a level, but whenever something of importance happens. Indy himself often voices his own thoughts out loud, giving clues as to what to do or providing some humour, like when he's expressing his frustration with the cryptical nature of some inscriptions. Voiced again by Doug Lee from Fate of Atlantis, and being directed and written by Hal Barwood, who also directed Indiana's atlantean adventure, both the tone and dialogues of the game remind of those from FoA. That style can also be felt in the nature of some of the levels. While the Tomb Raider lever and block pushing are there, item and inventory puzzles play a bigger role than in Lara Croft's outings. Indy will also interact with other characters in some of the levels, which will ask him to perfom certain tasks. However, the game is not without flaws. Controls feel a bit stiff at times. Even after mapping a controller with joy2key to match the control scheme of a PsOne Tomb Raider game (which DID help a lot), Indy himself feels slower than miss Croft, taking longer to perfom certain actions, like taking forever to draw his gun. Some puzzles can be particularly obscure, too, and the last two levels have a very abstract design to them, not matching the tone of the rest of the game. The offers a bonus level in the Peru temple from Raiders of the Lost Ark right after, though. Infernal Machine is a varied, decent 3D adventure worthy of the adventurer's name, and those who are familiar with the Tomb raider formula and can look past the game's flaws will sure have a great time with it.

no german version on GOG
3 Stars because the game is only in english at that moment! Why only the english version of the game? I have this game complete in german on my old cd-rom. If GOG will update this game to localised versions than I will buy it. But not if english only!

LOVE this title, but FUCK those controls
I love this game. 10 year old me found the puzzles here vastly superior to those in the Tomb Raider games. More exploration/logic oriented rather than the frantic "what did I miss?" guess work in the TR series. That being said, the control is ... weird, at best. Horrible, by any modern standards. I think they were bad even by Win98 standard. I play this game with the keyboard exclusively, since I can't seem to get a handle on the way it behaves on a Xbox controller

Why the language limitation...
Indiana Jones and the infernal machine is even today my favorite game. So a dream came true when I stumbled across it here. I realised the provided version is only English but still I didn't even hesitate to buy it. But directly in the beginning I got an uncomfy feeling when he started speaking in English. That was the point were I knew I have to play it German to get the full immersion back into my childhood. So I picked up my original disk of the German version I have in my drawer, picked two files ("CD1.GOB" and "CD2.GOB" if your interested) off of it and exchanged the gog version ones et voila texts and voices are now German. Unfortunately this removes the configuration for the controller mappings which I think has to do with the new files not being part of the original installation process where the linking between controller configurations and the game is done. As the settings for custom mapping your buttons ingame is broken they can't be adjusted afterwards. But as of right now changing the language was not a problem what so ever so why wasn't it implemented in the first place. I hope the Gog team fixes the controller mapping issue, then the two stars will turn into a solid five.
