The Bottom Line:

"Underappreciated"

This game captured the Indiana Jones tradition perfectly! The game was exciting, because you never knew what was going to happen next! It was brutal, because some of the attacks were very violent, & it was adventurous because...it's an Indiana Jones game! The story was pretty well thought out. Full of twists, & traps. It was exciting & it makes you want to play to the end. Basically, it's about Indie trying to get the Staff of Kings (Staff of Moses), before his rival. Overall, I thought the story was kind of short, & the ending could have been way better. The graphics were WAY better than what the pictures showed (big surprise there), & the game was full of detail. The mouths of the characters moved perfectly with the dialog, & the faces were full of expression. The surroundings were very detailed, & so were the characters themselves. Overall, the graphics were pretty good, & I don't know why people complain about them, it could be alot worse. The controls were EXCELLENT!! The movement capabilities made the game very realistic. The whip moves followed my movements perfectly. The slight problem was that the punching movements didn't follow very well. There was all kinds of awesome movements, from running, to using the gun. The gunfights were very fun, & I was glad there was alot of them! Overall, I thought that the movement controls were very good. That's what the Wii is all about after all, & if your arms get tired, then you're out of shape! There was plenty of added features such as combat arenas (where you fight enemies & your friends), trailer clips (from all the original movies), multiplayer mode (which has its own short story where you can play as Henry Jones), collectibles to unlock things ( Indiana Jones' hat), different skins for Indie (like tuxedo Indie) & probably the best is the computer game: Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis (which is really fun, has its own story, very hard puzzles & pretty detailed for an old computer game)! Overall, the added features were excellent, & kept you coming for more! This game was WAY under appreciated by alot of people, including Gamespot, for reasons i'll never understand. Overall, this game deserves at least an 8.5. It definitely deserved it. It's worth to buy, especially since it's only $20. Thank you for reading my review on Indiana Jones & the Staff of Kings!
