I LOVED the original Lego Indiana Jones for the DS!! So I was really looking forward to this game. I am SOOOOO sorry that we spent $25 on this game. I don’t like the addition of the mini-games. My son (who loves ALL the other Lego DS games) doesn’t want to play this at all because he says that it is too hard. This whole thing about having to find pages to unlock the actual game levels is annoying. The game just doesn’t flow as well as the other Lego games. I already put a deposit down on Lego Harry Potter……and I sure hope the game play is better than this.

The Lego games are the only reason I own a DS. I really hate playing games that rely on the stylus, it’s not fun, and these Lego games make only very light use of the stylus. Moreover, when it does come time to use the stylus in little bonus games, it’s actually well done!
I loved the first Indiana Jones game and this one is even better. The camera angles are fantastic, and it’s just plain fun. I finished the entire game in two weeks, including all the challenges and the free play. There are still a few golden hats I am searching for, though
Needless to say, I had to sacrifice other things in my life such as sleep.
Lego IJ 2 is basically all Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, very thoroughly done. There are 12 multi-phase levels to go through, in similar style as the first game. The “challenge” levels are great though, they are basically levels from the first three movies, and they’re brand new, very fun. I only wish they could have squeezed everything that was in the first game, these new levels, AND the entire KOTCS levels!
I highly recommend the Lego Batman game for the DS as well, and of course the Lego Star Wars (complete series), really really great fun. I am so thrilled that Harry Potter has been announced as the next game, and I hope they will release many more using the same engine and style afterward, I cannot get enough. Maybe a spiderman game?
Thank you for making this game!

Be aware that the level editor — the Create Your Own Adventure feature that is advertised in the Amazon game description, on the game case and in the TV ads — is not in the DS version. I had this confirmed by LucasArts after my son tried in vain to access the feature, which was the primary reason he bought the game. We have returned the game (to GameStop) and will be buying the PC version which I believe *does* have the level editor.

When I first started playing this game, I wasn’t too thrilled at all, but that was because I thought you had to play the games on the island in order to unlock the levels for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but this is not the case. You play those and have to do certain things to unlock the mini games that go along with each of the four movies. Sadly, I’m still missing a couple of them, but one seems kind of impossibe to get which is knocking down totems in a minute or under. Some of the journal pages are around the island and you can easily obtain without playing a sort of game.
This game is a bit different than the first. It takes you through Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and you play through 12 different levels that deal with the story of the movie. In the original you had to play through the story mode and free play mode and each one had a true adventurer bar that you had to fill up by obtaining so many knuts. In this one, you can fill it up in either mode and only have to do it once per level. There are also 10 golden hats or artifacts per level, in the original it was idols.
Golden legos are obtained by beating the mini games which you unlock by collecting journal pages around the island. There are 4 per each movie and they take you through various aspects of the films, basically the most imporant parts of the films. You usually play as only one specific character too like in the Maharaja Hunt you play as Short Round and that is it.
The graphics are definitely upgraded and I haven’t tried the build your own adventure mode since that’s not really my type of thing, but I think that’s interesting that they added it.
A few of my complaints would be that on the island you have to reaccess certain spots. What you do doesn’t stay and you have to keep redoing it in order to gain access to that part of the island again, like parts you unlock with the monkey, etc. It gets a bit tedious, especially when you only have a couple of journal pages left to obtain.
My second complaint would be some of the jumps are kind of hard to do, especially if you have to keep jumping from rope to rope, especially in the Maharaja Hunt. It got a bit tedious to have to keep trying to get past these sections and jumps. Plus, I ran into a couple of glitches too, one was in a free play spot where you gained a hat, but the first one had a few glitches too.
Overall, the game is enjoyable and if you like the first, you will probably like this one, even if you’re not a fan of Crystal Skull. I liked the movie but I would have preferred to have more levels for the old movies than 12 for Crystal Skull. Another fun aspect was being able to throw a character over Indy. The first time I did it, it made me laugh and I liked how everytime you used a weapon and your partner was by you, it didn’t make them break apart.
In the end, if you like a game that is going to take up lots of time and you’re a fan of the original, and a fan of the movies, you should enjoy this game, minus a few of the more difficult parts.

I loved Love LOVE LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, even though I have never watched a second of the series. So, when I heard LEGO was making a sequel to this fun game, I was extatic. With the new game, the’ve added the notoriously crappy “Indiana Jones And The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but leave it to LEGO to make something soso damn fun. I highly comend George Lucas and Stephen Speilberg for letting LEGO use their legendary character and his freinds in this highly entertaining game. If you loved the first game, or just like Dr. Henry Jones Jr.( Indy’s real name for those who, like me haven ever watched the films) and his many adventures, I highly recomend this game.
