Pleasantly Surprised

I am a big fan of all of the LEGO adventure games, and had completed the first Lego Indy, so when they came out with the Indy 2, I looked forward to the new gameplay, but was skeptical of buying it for just one new level. I had heard that they had made some changes to the old levels for the new version, but that is what they did for the Star Wars ultimate pack too, and it was just a few little bits and bobs. Well, they went all out on Indy 2. the entire gameplay of each level is different. It is a totally new game.
One thing about the new game that I have mixed emotions about is the 'common' area of each of the individual movies. where before you would go up to a map and look at where you could go with the corresponding elements that were still outstanding or completed, here there is just almost another independent level where you obtain the additional characters and go on bonus missions, but to find out if you have made True Adventurer, or gotten the treasure chest, you have to go all the way back to 'The Warehouse.' So if you are just trying to check what you have done or still need to do, you have to endure the cut screen/loading time each time you go back and forth.
All in all, a minor annoyance to a really fun game.
