1.0 out of 5 stars Shockingly Substandard... Disappointment in Disc Form., June 15, 2009
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (Video Game)
This game was developed, in its current incarnation at least, for the Wii, and is also available on handhelds and the PS2. As such, the player's expectation is for good, if not stellar, graphics, and solid or perhaps even innovative gameplay. Combine that with Lucasarts's traditionally excellent game design and the existing strength of Indiana Jones as a premise, and you'd expect a game that provides a satisfying experience. That makes it all the more shocking, then, that what's actually delivered is so far below any possible expectations that it's hard to know where to begin extolling the areas in which it lets the player down. "Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings," to be blunt, is a staggeringly sub-par game in nearly every regard. I warn you ahead of time, this is a bit of a long review! But hopefully it'll be worth the read.

The most fundamental issue is that the gameplay itself isn't actually any fun. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that there isn't any "game"... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Even for Indy fans, this game is just not good, June 16, 2009

If you would like to read a lengthy but informative review, read Jonathan's review. He pretty much nails it.
First, huge Indy fan here. Huge.
This is not the game I've been looking forward to for such a long time. After the excellent Emperor's tomb, this game seems like a two generation step backwards. It's bad enough it's not a X-box 360 or PS3 game, but this seems like they had some neat stuff they almost developed, tossed a bunch of cheap filler in, and called it a game. There is no exploration, no adventure. It's a button masher.
And sometimes even the cue for the button comes up so late you die immediately, wait for the re-load and work your way back to that spot, and then hit the right button that saves you. The game is extremely linear, no wonderfully designed areas to wander around in, just a path to follow. The graphics are sub-par, (sometimes as in: what the heck is that supposed to be) and Indy's likeness is off, but the voice is good... Read more

Don't do it! This is dumbed down gaming...lazy, inept programming at its worst. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the development team were on suicide watch. Don't fall for the pretty box art or screenshots...it's all a lie in the end.
