Back
when it was revealed to be hitting the Wii later on this year,
LEGO: Indiana Jones was the kind of thing dreams are made of. Taking another one of the best movie trilogies ever made and adapting it to the hilarious and fun
LEGO approach that the
LEGO: Star Wars games made so famous, we were sure this was going to be an amazing game. Let's not forget about the upcoming
LEGO Batman game, either!
Now, it would seem we finally have some details on the upcoming game. CVG reports (by way of Edge magazine) that the game will be called
Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, and will parody the three original films directed by Spielberg, being comprised of 3 chapters and 18 different levels. That much, we could've figured out on our own.
But, here is where it gets interesting. As one would expect, Indy's whip will be a primary tool for the player, allowing them to have Indy interact with the environment in a couple different ways. He can swing (natch), but he can also use it to climb up onto ledges. Also, Indy will have a shovel, which he can use to dig up more weapons and other things.
The other characters in the game come into play when Indy encounters Snakes. Just like in the movies, the game version of Indy will be ineffective against the slithering reptiles, tasking the second character to come into the spotlight and sort things out.
Overall, the piece highlights
LEGO: Indiana Jones as being a much more grand and hilarious experience than
LEGO: Star Wars ever provided. And we don't have to tell you we're dying to find out when the game releases this spring.
