The game is really fun. Figuring out what to do in order to advance to the next level is a fun challenge each time. The only gripe I have ever had with the lego games is the lack of speaking interaction...with the technology available, I think it would really make the games tops. It makes it a little lame for me.Customer Review: Loads of fun

Traveller's Tales returns with another Lego-based game, this time focusing on the Indiana Jones franchise after conquering the world of Star Wars. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is exactly what the title implies: the original Indy trilogy in Lego form. The gameplay itself is relatively simple, family friendly fun that nearly anyone can pick up and play. Co-op mode is where the real fun of Lego Indiana Jones is to be had though, and like Lego Star Wars before it, the game just has a sense of undeniable charm to it that you can't help but get some enjoyment in the very least out of it. It may not take you too long to breeze through the game though, but if you do, it is worth going back and playing again just to catch all the game's in-jokes and visual gags, along with a horde of hidden items and goodies as well. If there's any real flaws to the game, it's that the AI isn't all that good in terms of enemies and AI-controlled pals, and the load times here on the PSP are longer than they should be, but as a whole, Lego Indiana Jones is still massively enjoyable. All in all, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures continues the tradition of wonderfully fun and family friendly games, and is definitely worth picking up for Indy fans or anyone looking for some good clean fun.

I'm 40. I've just played the game for a couple of hours, but I'm addicted. Maybe it is too early to say, but until now the game is not repetitive at all. You have to use your brain to find solutions, and this is the best way a videogame can work.
On my PSP 2000 load times are not so terrible. It takes a few moments to get from the Barnett college to the adventures, but then there is no interruption while playing.
The only problem I've found is you cannot save the game whenever you want (or at least I haven't found a way). Scenes can take quite a while to complete, but you have to start them all over if you want to switch game while you are in the middle of a scene. Nonetheless, I strongly advise you to get the game. I'm so impressed I've already ordered Lego Star Wars II, and I think I'll get the Batman for my PS3 too.
Customer Review: Kind of a Let Down

I have to be honest, after playing Lego Star Wars (LSW) II (why wasn't LSW I ever released for PSP?), and experiencing the loadtimes of God of War, I'm unimpressed by Lego Indiana Jones (LIJ). The gameplay was pretty good, but I found a couple glitchy spots when playing in Free Play mode, and by the time it got done loading between scenes or from the college to the chosen adventure, I was falling asleep. The characters are great, the storyline is great, but it's hard to stay interested when an hour of gameplay time only amounts to about 40 minutes worth of actual gameplay. It's time to do better. The UMD drive is working overtime on this game, driving down battery life, and some of the maps are way too 2-dimensional. Sometimes it was more like playing an old version of Castlevania! LSW had such great 3-D maps and the environment was very absorbing. LIJ just didn't have the inviting maps and gameplay of LSW.
I guess I'll have to shelve this one, and wait for Star Wars, The Force Unleashed and Lego Batman to be released in September. It's really a shame ... I had such high hopes for this game.
