LEGO Indiana Jones demo on Live News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

27 June, 2008

Some combination of Activision, LucasArts, Traveller's Tales and Microsoft have plonked a demo of LEGO Indiana Jones on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Which is a bit odd, because Activision told us just last month that there wouldn't be!

Released earlier this month to general acclaim, LEGO Jones explores the original three films in the same way the LEGO Star Wars games caricatured their inspiration.

Also like LSW, LEGO Jones adapts key elements of the film for its LEGO-tinged gameplay mechanics: Indy does some basic archaeology to solve puzzles, punches stuff and swings and climbs on ropes.

We ended up rather liking it (Dan Whitehead called it "a commendable improvement on an already solid framework") but also felt it was a shame that many of the extra bits that made the LSW games so deep and varied were absent.

There's no word on how big the demo download is but it should be available everywhere.

Already finished it 100%. A good 15 hours worth of game at least and it kept me from playing MGS4 too.

Well worth a look especially if you like the films.

edit: Thats the full game not the demo of course ;)

Star Wars Complete Saga is better, does'nt take too long to get 1000 achv points. Save your cash for gears 2, buy bad company or put the £40 towards Rock Band BIAB. Instead of "throw me the idol" Travellers Tales should "Throw me a new game engine" cause theres is piss poor i'm afraid
