Get Ready for More Adventure: LEGO Indiana Jones II: The Adventure Continues
The brick man with the fedora and whip is back again and ready for some block-busting adventures. LEGO Indiana Jones II: The Adventure Continues features a new system which is different than the previous LEGO Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and Batman titles. This game is divided into six playsets or hubs. There is one playset for each of the three classic movies—Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and the Last Crusade. These are different than those included in the first LEGO Indiana Jones, came, so even if you played that one, you will still get new challenges. In addition, there are three entire playsets based on the new movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
In each of the six hubs, there are many different levels. Each has five story levels which take players through the stories from the movies. In addition, there are five treasure levels in each as well as five bonus levels. By the time you complete the story levels, you can go all over the playset to play the different levels whenever and however many times you would like.
One of the exciting new features of LEGO Indiana Jones II: The Adventure Continues is the driving levels. Each level offers one story and one treasure driving level for a total of twelve in the game. Players can hop into a variety of vehicles and drive around jungles, deserts, and cities crashing into and forcing enemy vehicles off of the roads. These levels are a lot of fun and add more excitement to the game.
As with all of the LEGO adventure titles, LEGO Indiana Jones II: The Adventure Continues can be played by one player individually or two cooperatively. There is even a split screen option so the two players can move apart from each other. No longer will you fail to make a daring leap across a chasm because your partner is at the opposite end of the screen. Not only is this a great game for playing with friends, LEGO Indiana Jones II: The Adventure Continues offers a lot of fun for parents and children to play together. My children and I really enjoy the driving levels as we work together to crash all the enemy cars or solve the puzzle challenges in the bonus and treasure levels.
