Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb

THE BAD:
- Slightly jerky during large sections of combat.
- *...that skips a fair amount.
- Graphically average.

SUMMARY:
Say the name "LucasArts" and everyone responds by saying "Star Wars". It seems that they have made a name for themselves by churning out fairly half-decent science fiction games based in a galaxy far, far away. But not everyone might know that Indiana Jones, our favourite archaeologist/action hero with a habit of not shaving very often, was created by George Lucas...

THE BAD:
Graphics are very blurry and far off what the PS2 what be able to display (just have a look at Prince Of Persia!). No option to switch to 16:9, on Pal no 60Hertz option! Far off the texture quality of Indy on PC! Sloppy conversion onto the PS2!

SUMMARY:
Gladly got that game for cheap since I realy don´t like the graphics on the PS2 (SHAME!!! could have been alot better). Gameconcept is highly innovative and gets you hooked! Beside that I think it´s good enough for me to get it once it will be on budget for the PC since the PC graphics are highdetailed and crisp. Finally, if you´ve got a choice and like Indy, get that game for the Computer!!!!

THE BAD:
Although the environments are nice looking, the blurry graphics of this game hinder them substandard. Oddly they appear clearer while "indy" is in motion then stationary. Game play is a little tedious and makes poor use of the sprawling stages.

SUMMARY:
I had played "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine" on N64 to the very last boss. Having defeated him I could not figure out how to complete the stage. This was because my copy had a glitch that would not let me back down to the bottom floor. Having played this latest version, I can definitely say this one is worse. There use to be a time when Lucas Arts was a highly regarded name in software. That time has passed. This is second game in a month from Lucas Arts that I was sorely dissappointed in, the other being "Secret Weapons Over Normandy". The...

THE BAD:
a few bits of dodgy graphics, and i had a section where it was just playing a high pitched humming noise

SUMMARY:
its my favorite game of da year. wid everythind in it. you can do so much more wid this game, than any of the tomb raiders combined and even better you play as indy himself with all his trade mark things he does, like the old fashoned whip and revolver and just for show you can pick your hat up afterwards hat. even better you go into a chinese netherworld where theres these ghost things that are like the ones from raiders of the lost ark. theres some quit eerie bosses in it too, like a giant kraken. you even have a very similar thing to the boulder out of the first film.i would rate this game to anyone

THE BAD:
- Not much of a story.
- Sometimes the music overplays when the characters are speaking, might want to turn the caption feature on.
- You can't save when you want to, the game automatically saves after you finish a level, although the levels aren't too terribly long so it is not a big deal.

SUMMARY:
I'm an Indiana fan all the way...well who isn't...anyways I enjoyed The Infernal Machine even though it wasn't that great of a game. This game is 100 times better than the previous Jones installment, and in my opinon the best Indiana Jones Console game. Fate of Atlantis and The Last Crusade (PC) versions are still my favorite because they had such a great storyline, but Emperor's...

THE BAD:
Not *THE* best graphics out there, but very nicely done nonetheless

SUMMARY:
If you like Indiana Jones & video games, you shouldn't be disappointed with this harmonious merge. The character looks, sounds, & acts like Indy. The fighting style is great - punching, using the whip, etc. The music follows whatever is happening (even quick plot changes). A nice blend of action & puzzle-solving. Rich environments where you can use just about anything as a weapon - and you get many different kinds of enemies to fight. This is the most immersive game that has come out in a long time -- time flies by when you are playing it. I give it every thumb up & would say that if you like adventure games this is a MUST have! I'm officially addicted.
