An OK tie-in game to my favorite Indy
I like adventure games and Indiana Jones, but I was a bit disappointed with this one. Positive: - generally nice pixelart (Indy looks like a walking brick tough) - nice references to other LucasArts properties and behind the scenes facts - some good puzzles - multiple ways to solve some puzzles and multiple endings - expanding on locations from the movie - some funny jokes - Grail Diary pdf - I didn't encounter any major problems on Win 8.1 Negative: - few sound effects - no music at some places, and even when there is music it's not always a good rendition of the iconic John Williams score - Pretty bad fist-fighting mini-game. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. And your health doesn't regenarate. - a lot of jokes and situations that don't feel like Indy at all, and take away from the moments. - frustrating puzzles, where you have to use previous information, which wasn't telegraphed at the moment, when you would have had to pay attention. There are semi random guessing puzzles too. - The castle as a whole. A top-down maze full of guards, where you have to do a lot of tedious tasks to avoid them, or fight them in the mini-game. - "WHAT IS" button instead of hover over hotspots -You can get a game over. It's funny the first few times, but it becomes more and more annoying. In the original version you couldn't save in the temple. Thankfully, ScummVM lets you save anywhere. Who is laughing now Ron? Overall, if you want to play something that “makes you feel like Indiana Jones”, this is not the best choice. As an adventure game it shows its age with frustrating design decisions and dated technology. Some of that can be blamed on the rushed development of the game tough. Has some fun moments, but it can be really hard to finish. I don’t think I have ever used a walkthrough as many times as with this title. It’s not really a bad game, but I don’t think it’s a good one either.
