Customer Review: Kids love it!
These Lego games are great fun for the kids. My 8 year old has been playing this and Lego Indiana Jones non-stop since Christmas.
Customer Review: Pathetic
I got this game for my kids and me because I thought it would be as fun as Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. I didn't notice that the game was not made by the same people and didn't read reviews beforehand. Hopefully, this will not happen to another family or kid spending Christmas, birthday, or hard-earned cash on this game. The PC version is buggy beyond belief. It cannot support two controllers (despite being a two-person game) and seems to want a kid to control figures using keyboard keys (how annoying is that). I did not know this and started the game with both controllers plugged in like we do with Lego Star Wars II and the game decided to have the movement controlled by the pad on one controller and the actions controlled by the buttons on the other controller. HUH? I got online to look for a patch and finally found one that messed things up even worse. It installed mouse support, which is completely useless! The game also crashes, a lot. My kids have made it to the end of the first mission in Episode 1 but then the game crashes and they have to start all over, that is, when they can make a controller behave. I found several posts to a forum or two complaining that the game is very troublesome in Vista. Great, have the company do a patch or a redistribution of the game. Couple all this with the understandable but very annoying nearly universal policy of not accepting a game for return if it has been opened (like I'd make a copy of this game anyway!), and I am not a happy camper with Eidos, Giant Interactive, LucasArts (who, I know only lent their name for licensing, but pay attention to the end result product guys), and Amazon at this moment.


With so many game consoles out there, sometimes theres no way of telling which games people are actually using or buying. Have you ever really thought about the number of games sold each year and which gaming system rakes in the most sales? Probably not. Youre probably just like every gamer who finds their niche and sticks with it.

We know youre dying to find out what everyone else is playing and our guide just might make you sound a little more in-the-know the next time your friend asks for a game recommendation!
