Indiana Jones Rocks

Indiana Jones is a popular movie and is now moving into the game world. This is a great game for all ages since the movie is so versatile. It would make a great gift for a friend or family member.

Indiana Jones has been a Hollywood icon for nearly thirty years and with a trio of classic movies, I cant include last summers debacle, Dr. Jones is trying to take over the video game market as well. There have been a couple of games over the years based on the Indiana Jones franchise, some good like the one that was a PC exclusive, but is available on the Wii disc, and some that were not so great.

The game actually fell through the cracks a little bit. It was supposed to come out on PS3 and Xbox 360 too but then it was downsized to only Wii, PS2 and DS.

Since everyone had really high hopes for the game, it seemed to fall alittle bit short or their expectations.

With the release of a few very good games based on popular movie franchises like Ghostbusters and X-Men Wolverine and the King Kong game, you would think that a developer with a big name franchise like Indiana Jones would put a little more effort into it. The whip mechanic works fairly well and there is a little variety in the way it works, but the game never feels any better than a second rate version of something you used to love.

I guess its fitting after the fiasco that was the last installment of the movie franchise, its just disappointing when you were actually looking forward to something. It feels like getting punched in the stomach by your best friend.
