LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Think this is the same as the first? Wrong. The gameplay is different. The traditional "hop through 6 levels" is gone. Instead, they thought it was a good idea to have you hunt and find where to go next. Which would be fun...If you knew where you were going and what to look for. There is no guidance to cluing you in on where to go next. With this new change, the fun is pretty dull. The graphics, story and sound is all the same as the other Lego games. The gameplay is what suffers in this entry. It's still fun regardless. The dungeon style levels are a killer though. Once you prowl around a huge map trying for hours to locate your next destination, you are greeted with a cut scene, thrown into a room with a nice puzzle to figure out, then get thrown out into the map to locate your next place to go. Some are obvious, most take some exploring and time to find. Some are in really far out places. Even in the entries like Raiders, Temple o' Doom and Crusaders, the gameplay is the same throughout them. The cut scenes are different from the first Lego Indy. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was decent. It would have been funner if the new style of gameplay didn't bog it down to a boring tedious task. Aside from the gameplay, my other gripe is with the "car-crashing" levels. Some levels require you to drive a vehicle. In doing so, you have a set amount of other vehicles to destroy. After such info is released, you basically have to play some demolition derby by ramming your vehicle into theirs several times to destroy it. Very boring and very tedious. The boss battles are a nice inclusion, but all require very little skill to figure out and kill. Other than all that jibber jabber, this is just another Lego entry. Some will get bummed by the new style of gameplay (such as I) and others will suffer through for another round with Indiana Jones and his crew.
