Anyone try "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" ? How is it?

I played the demo. It's quite awesome, but the controls are a little clumsy.

You need a fairly good computer to run it well too.

If you can find it for $20 or less, then buy it.

Played it on Xbox. It's pretty fun. Haven't gotten very far, so I don't know if it stays pretty stale or not, but the puzzles seem interesting yet not too hard or hairbrained, and the hand-to-hand combat is fun as all hell... when you punch someone, it sounds like you just smashed a sack of sticks and goo with a sledgehammer.

Xbox controls arent' too bad... took me about 5-10 minutes to get used to 'em. Don't know if you have a Xbox, though.

Its fun on PS2, gotta love going into fights, the odd thing is you can take someone with a machine gun with only your fists....

...Course, it is Indiana Jones

Cool! Thanks, guys, I just bought it yesterday for 20 bucks. I hope I can punch two people at the same time with one punch, like in Last Crusade!

As an aside, it was just released as a pack for 20 buck canadian, along with James Bond: Nightfire and Star Wars: Galatic Battlegrounds and the Core Campaigns add-on.

Not a bad value for 20 bucks, to get four games.

Indy itself has graphical issues...even with my monster machine (or as I call it, the Penis-Compensator). As for the gameplay, the controls aren't horrible, but they are stiff. If you've played Tomb Raider you know what you're in for at least.

When you're close to an enemy, hit primary and secondary attack at the same time. Result: you grab them in a head-lock. Then you can proceed to beat the shit out of them.

And Nazi's are evil bitches. I emptied my revolver into one, and the fucker was still alive!!

I'm right now in Istanbul, who knew beating up Arabs could be this much fun? Course I've beaten up Prague security guards and black market dealers as well and that's fun too.

I'm still playing, but only have time a few hours out of the week, so I just finished the first level with the giant croc and all the jumping from cage to cage..

Anyway, I LOVE the fight combos! One time, Indy was near a wall, and he took the guy in a headlock and bashed his head into the wall!

The voice guy that does Indy is nearly a dead ringer for Harrison Ford, too. Amazing to hear him in long cutscenes!

Not you! (Hint: Check a map )
