Indiana Jones... I mean George Stobbart returns, along with many other characters such as Nico and other more minor characters from the first. The game moves from the 2d graphics to 3d, I don't mind this in fact I understand that they would have to move to appeal to more people. The game is very different from the others in other ways than graphics however, the point and click aspect is gone. I overlooked that, however, they don't really teach you the buttons at the beginning so I had to go to options to set my action keys. I would have much preferred the old point and click. There was also a change in thought process, the old ones used a lot of item on item. While this kept some of that it was more about pushing blocks around and climbing different things, the problem with block pushing puzzles is even after you figure it out there is still a lot of long block pushing and the controls don't help you any. You find yourself turning your brain off and mindlessly pushing blocks from point A to point B. And climbing obstacles made me feel I was playing a knock of prince of persia. There is good news, the original and always has been voice actor for George still remains even though I don't think any others did even with all the reoccurring characters. There were many references to the first game but not enough to spoil this if you never played the first. And the humor remained intact. The plot was alright it left me wanting for more, especially after a ton of mindless block pushing. One reoccurring character I didn't really care for however they after a masterful execution of a near end cut scene I thought he was great. All of this I thought the game was going alright and then comes the end I will not spoil, but the cut scene when you reach the end is really poor and extremely cheesy and then when I thought it couldn't get much worse you find how to end the evil and make the ending even worse. Then when you save the day the actual ending cut scene has a funny end but still left you disappointed. All in all it was an alright game, just bad for a broken sword game. I think I would have liked it much better if they could have pulled off making it a different series.
