 - A fun gameNot a bad game I would give it a 3.5 star rating. The graphics are so so, the sound is decent, and the plot could be another movie. This is like an Indy movie but with alot more bad guys. I don't really like the whole sharks and alligators bit, since a run in with them would be completely fatal. Nor did I like the whole kraken thing. It is worth the money now, but it does have very little replay value. Rating:  - AwesomeThis is a fantastic game. I'm not what most would call a "gamer" - I play maybe an hour or two a week - so maybe I'm looking at it differently than some other reviewers, but isn't it SUPPOSED to be hard? What's the point of an easy game? You want easy? Go play Candyland. This game is tough. It's got dozens of scenarios, villains, traps, etc, just like the movies do. The graphics are stunning, the sound is terrific...all in all, a great game! Rating:  - A pretty great gamePretty fun. Shoot up and whack bad guys, climb walls and ladders, and find your way through many fun levels. Rating: - On the Playstation2 version...I just beat the game on the "Normal" difficulty level and I must say that I was overall 'content' with the game. Not an overly spectacular game, but if you are at all a big fan of Dr. Jones, this game is a must-have. First and foremost, the most disappointing aspect of the game I thought was the graphics, which on the same scale would receive 3 stars; for a 2003 PS2 video game, it's average at best. HOWEVER, what lacks in graphics is made up for in the fantastic gameplay. There is a diverse array of enemies (Nazis, Turkish and Chinese thugs, demons, etc.) and weapons, and the fighting sequences along with the background music really make for a true Indy experience, just like in the movies, which in all honesty is what really kept me playing this game. In addition to the intuitive controls, typical storyline, and decent voice acting (minus a few repetitive one-liners), I thought that the hand-to-hand combat moves and body physics were actually pretty good. But what I think is key to this game is the variety in gameplay. You will not only fight your enemies with your hands and/or weapons, but there is also some puzzle solving, and maneuvering Indy through many booby traps as well as underwater. As you would expect there is also a lot of climbing, jumping, and swinging using his trusty whip. Finally, in a nutshell, this game has a bit of everything, everything that you would expect a game based on Indiana Jones to have. If you are a fan of the movie trilogy, you will find this game very entertaining and fun to play! Value? A great rental or buy (for the big Indy fan) if you can get it used or new for less than $20. Replayability? I thought that the "Normal" setting could have been a little tougher, maybe by the addition of more intense swarms of enemies. However, I like this game well enough to simply go at it again on the "Difficult" setting... Rating: - If theres ever going to be a new indy movie...Then this game deserves much credit in it's making. In Indiana Jones and the Emporers Tomb, there will seldomly be a part in the game where you will feel bored, the puzzles are often fresh and various, the evil villains make for a nice gunfight or fistfight and the plot, hands down made me stand up and cheer when I had finally beaten it. The only drawback.....I WANT MORE.
