LEGO Indiana Jones here in June

By Robert Purchese Published 11 April, 2008

Along with 60 of his friends.

Activision has revealed that LEGO Indiana Jones will be released for all platforms on 6th June.

The tongue-in-cheek take on the series will let you play as over 60 characters including Jones and his pals plus baddies. You can mix and match, too, swapping torsos of one characters onto the legs of another.

Central to your exploration will be the whip, which you'll use to swing across gaps and hit switches, plus there will be plenty of brawling where you can pick up chairs and swords and bottles to use - just like you do in real life.

You'll be able to interact with your environment in more ways than in the Star Wars games, as well. There is swimming, climbing, shimmying and picking up objects to be getting on with.

There's co-operative support for you and a friend, and generally everything is as you would expect from the team that gave us LEGO Star Wars.

LEGO Indiana Jones is coming to Xbox 360, PC, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii and DS.

Pop over to our LEGO Indiana Jones gamepage to find out more.

    Sooner than I expected - just hoping it's as good as the Star Wars games.

    Having bought the three LEGO games released so far, I think I'm going to give this one a miss as I'm starting to get bored of the format. I expect this game will be, for the most part, exactly the same as the others, only dressed up in an Indiana Jones "skin". And call me cynical but I've a feeling this game may be rushed out to cash in on the release of the fourth movie, which comes out on 23rd May.

    @Tejstar

    i was quite surprised at how close this is too. I like the sound of being able to use other objects as weapons too!

    Sixty characters? That better mean I can play as the Hitler Monkey from Raiders of the Lost Ark...

  • muscleblade #5 4 years ago

    Same day as Ninja Gaiden 2. Im not considering it on a day like that.

  • stampax #6 4 years ago

    Anything to do with the new film? Or will there be a separate game that ties in with that?

  • chrisjm #7 4 years ago

    rushed game? are you sure? the film has been on the cards for so long they have had time so no excuses!

  • WinterSnowblind #8 4 years ago

    Nothing to do with the new movie, as it's called "The Original Adventures"
    A sequel based on new one and possibly the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles seems likely.

    I loved the Lego Star Wars games, so I'll definitely be getting this, but they must be really scraping the barrel if they've managed to include 60 characters.

    Lego games belong to an exclusive club which bears the message managed to be a good movie tie in. Also it gets another award for being a great co-op game. Why can't all movie tie in games be as good as the lego star wars 1 & 2 & the complete triology?

    I'm definitely up for this as well. Loved the previous Lego Star Wars games, and ended up playing The Complete Saga to um, completion in preference to many other more "worthy" titles. More of the same is a must-buy for me anyway ;-).
