LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures [PSP]

Earning Extras - unlockable bonuses like Stud multipliers or regenerating hearts - is more involved here than simply finding a red brick. Instead, you're hunting down parcels, which you then need to take to a nearby mailbox to deliver back to the college, where you can then buy them. So while you may have access to nab the parcel with a given character type, you might need another to unveil the mailbox to actually earn it. Again, this ties back into the Free Play mode and gives you great reason for going back and collecting everything as most of the Extras that you'll earn are good fun and worth searching for.

One lingering complaint with the LEGO series that is still present here is that the camera still needs a good bit of work. You'll find many times when a second player will be "killed" because you force them off the screen, which is more common here than in the Star Wars titles since you sometimes don't know how far Indy will swing with his whip. The camera issues have never exactly been a deal breaker, but it doesn't seem like anything has been done to fix any of its issues.

Closing Comments
Traveller's Tales has once again delivered an experience that boils down to smashing stuff over and over again while searching for secrets, while also managing to make that formula fun and addictive. It's certainly not a huge leap over the LEGO Star Wars titles, and in fact still has some of that series' issues, but it's no less enthralling and certainly a fun adventure worth taking on.
