When you pick up a LEGO title, you know what you’re going to get. And in this case, that’s a good thing.

The blocky characters have managed to carve themselves a tidy little niche, nestling somewhere between platforming adventures, movie tie-ins and kids titles, yet still delivering a unique brand of tongue-in-cheek humour that ensures the appeal isn’t strictly limited to the youngsters.

And Indy’s second LEGO-inspired adventure is no different. As a standalone single-player game, it’s got the same thrills, spills and puzzle solving you’d expect.

But the addition of a level creation mode, where you can build your own environments brick by brick, really adds another dimension to the experience.

Of course, turning the movie turkey that was the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull into something worthwhile is a challenge in itself, but here the LEGO franchise has belatedly saved Indy’s bacon.

3/5
