Indy games

I'm talking Indiana Jones people!

Has anybody played any Indy games? If so which ones?

It's kind of a rarity to find a real good Indiana Jones game. I've only played The Emporer's Tomb on the Xbox original, and I'm halfway through The Staff of Kings on the Wii. The Xbox one is winning.

There have been some bad ones, so I've heard. Anyway, I won't be surprised if I'm the only one who has played these games.

I honestly don't think I've ever played a single one. I assume you're posting this because there are some that don't suck?

I tend to assume any game based on a movie is gonna suck.

The ones I've played are game originals. The Staff of Kings and The Emporer's Tomb, they don't suck. They're not amazing, but decent. TET is the better one though. The NES and Atari 2600 had the movie based games and they sucked. There's a SNES game called Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures and that's freaking awesome, although hard. It's based on the movie trilogy but they did it well.

I have never played any single one, but they seem fun when they get Indy quirks and the movies humour right.
I just remember the first one you reviewed as the Nintendo Fanboy, it seemed very glitchy.

It was, but at least it was harmless and funny glitchy.

I really enjoy when they get the movies' humour down.

Be honest, though. You only posted this thread because you enjoyed making that title pun.

So I'm gathering that you recommend:
-The Staff of Kings
-The Emperor's Tomb
-Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures (SNES)

I'll keep that in mind if I need a game to play, or I see them on Steam Sale.

A mere coincidence.

I recommend those games if you're a fan of his character.

I would take off The Staff of Kings after last night.
I think @Sardonic Pickle will agree. :XD:

Did you guys play it and it was awful, or is Kaynil alluding to a failing in your sex life?

He wouldn't agree if it was the latter.
Basically there is a part where they shove the motion controls and it controls worse than those crane games you find in arcades. :-__-:

I actually looked up some footage of it on Youtube, it does look surprisingly playable. I'mma try and get my hands on it.

Also, I realized it's probably what they're playing in this video:

Yeah that's Emporer's tomb.

I really want to find the PS3 version of Staff of Kings. Stupid motion controls on the wii.

Yeah...motion controls suck.
