LucasArts and TT Games today announced that LEGO Indiana Jones: The Videogame [working title] will whip onto game consoles everywhere in summer 2008. Developed by the same team at Traveller's Tales that created the LEGO Star Wars series, LEGO Indiana Jones presents a tongue-in-cheek take on the first three cinematic adventures of pop culture's most iconic archaeologist, including Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

"LucasArts and TT Games are setting the bar for next-generation family entertainment with the LEGO Star Wars franchise, and our incredible relationship continues with LEGO Indiana Jones," said Jim Ward, president of LucasArts. "In addition to providing the quality bonding time inspired by any good family game, LEGO Indiana Jones delivers something a little different for everyone. Parents will enjoy the humorous take on some of their favorite movies, and their kids get some rousing action/adventure gameplay that may also introduce them to Indy's original adventures for the first time."

"It has been a real joy to work with LucasArts on the LEGO Star Wars games. Indiana Jones is the perfect character for the next LEGO-based videogame adventure," said Tom Stone, director at TT Games. "Indy also presents us with wonderful and memorable cinematic moments. The boulder scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark in LEGO is hilarious!"

Lucasfilm Ltd. recently announced that the LEGO Group will begin releasing LEGO Indiana Jones playsets in January 2008. Meanwhile, LucasArts remains hard at work on its revolutionary, internally developed Indiana Jones videogame, which takes place a year after The Last Crusade in an original story overseen by George Lucas.

i thought they were doing batman :confused:

i hope we dont see too many of these games, they're nice but it doesn't need overdoing.

Hmm....not sure on this one, will be interesting to see how it might work. Could be fun. Have to agree though that too many of these Lego based games might be a bad thing. Lego Batman will also be out next year.

I haven't played the Star Wars one yet. I believe it's being reissued for all consoles with I and II together. I'll have to check it out then.

Lucasart saw all the lego star wars games and proclaimed 'EUREKA! WE HAVE A CASH COW HERE!'.

As long as its as good as the Lego Star Wars games i'll be a very happy man. I also hope the cut scenese are just as hilarious as those in Lego Star Wars II.

You're right.....but it is a pretty fun game

haha priceless, I can't wait. The boulder scene looked so funny. I loved the Lego Star Wars games but hopefully this one goes slightly less pickup mad.

Definately one for any Indie fans methinks.

I was actually offered a job at TTgames working primarily as a cut-scene animator on Lego Indiana Jones. Turned it down in the end as I had a better offer from Ubisoft, but from what I saw at the interview they looked really great. Hopefully they will pay homage to the Lego Star Wars series with a few clever nods and winks.

sweet!

Aslong as all Lego games are as good as Star Wars II, they can make as many as they want!

Not played LSW 1 though, is it a completely different game to 2?

its the prequel trilogy, not the original trilogy. But its a pretty similar gameplay wise

tsinc80697 · 30 Jul 2007 at 15:25

ah might have to get that then if its different levels, gameplay wise its brilliant anyway

Shamikebab · 30 Jul 2007 at 15:36

i always loved the humour and the presentation

Star wars + lego = win

but i thought the gameplay was just tame, and far too easy. If you take away the lego and the star wars its just a really average game underneath. I might get the complete series when that comes out and see if my opinion has changed.

I bought Lego Star Wars 2 for my 360 today and its fricking excellent. Got that and Saints Row for 30 quid.
