Lego Indy 2 Information

SUMMARY

When the first Lego Indiana Jones was released in Summer 2008, there was a crucial chapter missing - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Considering it was released just two weeks after Indy IV, and TT Games' previous Lego Star Wars included Revenge of the Sith despite the film not being out until several months after that game, its omission seemed a little bizarre.

At last we're treated to that missing chapter, although KOTCS alone wouldn't be enough of a game on its own. Lego Indy 2 also treats us to a complete reimagining of the first three films, so even if you've completed the first game you haven't played any of the second.

FACTS

The game came out 20th November 2009 and was released on the same platforms as the first game - 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PSP - with the exception of the PS2. This is the first Lego game not to appear on Sony's still-popular-but-aging console.

It comprises the three movies of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures reimagined completely with new levels, and the previously unused Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

For the first time in a Lego game, there's a Build Your Own Adventure mode, i.e. a Level Editor. You can share them on the internet too.

The co-operative mode, the cornerstone of every Lego game, has received a major overhaul this time round. Players can now venture outside the main screen, where the game seamlessly splits into two. And not just horizontal or vertical either, the line will move to indicate where the other player is.

New levels for the original trilogy include playing through the vehicle chase in Shanghai with Short Round.

Indy has all new animations, such as grabbing an enemy with his whip then throwing him over his shoulder.

Collect artifacts and lego studs throughout the game to unlock more than 60 playable characters.
