 | |  | New characters and techniques you will now get right in the middle levels. Sometimes an "object" is enough to find, in other cases it should still win. | | The enemy (or even a friend) can bind hand and foot and dragged behind a like on a leash. It is true that sooner or later, he extricated himself. | The phenomenon of LEGO-game extremely difficult to explain. Serious people suddenly rush excitedly singing hymns "masterpiece" with incomprehensible "bu-bu-bu" instead of plot and gameplay, calculated on the primary school age. Even harder to understand than one such game is different. But this is what we are to do - find out why LEGO Indiana Jones 2 nedotyagivaet to the level of their predecessors, and why it is still worth playing.
Gallop through the tombs First and foremost, let's face it: LEGO Star Wars and others like her would not have half the success of the described, if a place of simple creatures do not take all the known characters. With this in LEGO Indiana Jones 2, all in order: a new creation Traveller's Tales is based directly on the four Indiana Jones movies (the three old, described in the first part, added the recent "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"). Admittedly, the developers have not lost the ability to convey the spirit of the original picture, while turning in a hilarious parody of all the antics of the toy creatures. All in place: the familiar scenery, the frequent references to the original, good-naturedly ridiculing and of course LEGO-incarnation of Indiana Jones with his famous whip.
Knut, incidentally, now works differently. If before you press the buttons Indiana "worked" a whip for the nearest object, it now appears on the screen sight, with which you can lasso the enemy or to cling to a beam near the ceiling. Minor detail, but it allows better get used to the role of Indiana (a little ahead, I will note that it is virtually the only change for the better).
In processing the original Traveller's Tales and allowed his first mistake. Remember, kids: try to cram four movies in one game - a very bad idea. As a result, you get a potpourri of unrelated episodes, find out which will only loyal fans well remember the stories of four paintings. And absolutely a bad idea - the aforementioned murder scenes and insert new episodes. So it is possible and the fans against him adjust.
| | | As is known, is imprisoned under the console game is very difficult to play on the keyboard.LEGO Indiana Jones 2 - is no exception. | | Because Lucas Arts has not incorporated in the film Indiana final bosses, the designers of the Traveller's Tales as far as possible come up with their own. |
Treasures await However, the success of the project name LEGO has never explained only by the presence of big names. It was explained by the fact that they were fun to play. There LEGO Indiana Jones 2 is almost no different from its predecessors. Indiana runs on brightly colored levels, jumps in the different obstacles that throws enemies with the whip and brute force, and, of course, collects parts from LEGO, which can dislodge from literally everything. In all his adventures are still persistently accompanies one of the minor characters. Two characters can be controlled by one or both (if coordination allows it), but it is better to call friend. LEGO Indiana Jones 2 - is a case where the difference between playing alone and playing alone is huge.
Anyway, a portion of a good mood is guaranteed. LEGO Indiana Jones 2, continues to successfully operate a corporate style, drawn predecessors: does not make you tense and at the same time does not yawn, constantly throwing up something new.
It is on one side. And on the other - the deeper plunge into new adventures of Professor Jones, the more clearly you understand that Indiana is not the same. The game is good, but not cause of the excitement as the first part, or, say, LEGO Batman: The Videogame. What is it? Well, maybe that all the tricks are borrowed from previous episodes, and grimaces and antics Jones and his comrades do not seem to be something new.
The problem may lie in the fact that when Traveller's Tales still trying to offer something extraordinary, she denies all sense of proportion. For example, several times the game is trying to turn into an exciting thriller, pitting at you one after another wave of enemies. But, given the general immortality of heroes, such steps become monotonous beating of extras. Oh, very long, even if you help mate.
| | | Immortality of the characters - a controversial decision that reduces the price of errors to zero with all the attendant. It does not necessarily lead to defeat, but they should at least be flung back. | | Sight in action. Likewise, the firing of the gun running and throwing all sorts of subjects. |
The benefits of Secrets While the primary is probably a mistake Traveller's Tales - the decision to redraw the device gaming world. Previously, it was possible to shoot an arrow through the levels, and then again and again to return to Milestones with new characters and techniques in search of those bonuses that were previously inaccessible. Now it is not. Single game world has sunk into the past, LEGO Indiana Jones 2 consists of six independent chapters (one for each of the old films, plus another three for the "Skulls").
Now, in order to get to the next level requires much more time and effort. But no hiding places and secrets of the search do not have to, because they are not there.Instead, for each level included "bonus game": you are offered re-run on the same stage, only this time your task is reduced to finding treasure chests. Such fun - also at one time. Like the whole game entirely.
I'm tired, I'm gone? About punctures Traveller's Tales can say a lot. For example, it is worth to mention the map editor. It could well be considered one of the major pluses of the game - only problem is that the opportunity to share their creativity with other players, the de facto absent. And who will draw level only for their own use?
No, LEGO Indiana Jones 2 is not a game of failure and do not deserve to be criticized to the nines (even though it's now happened). It sure will please all fans of the works of Traveller's Tales. The only problem is that all the pros play - it's only past achievements. Which, anyway, is not encouraging as before.
