This cartoon-like adventure game takes place in a world made up of virtual LEGO bricks. There are a lot of fun elements to watch along the way, and this helps to increase the entertainment value of the game. You have to play through all the levels to reach the ultimate goal, but that is all we’ll reveal...

If you are fond of adventure, action, strategy and LEGO this is the game for you. “Lego Indiana Jones 2” is a charming game that comes highly recommended.

Child suitability:
For this review we tested the game on the Nintendo Wii format. The functionality is not always accurate, but good enough for both new and experienced players. The puzzles and tasks you have to solve along the way are mostly easy, though not always logical.

Occasionally, short video clips pop up on the screen, based on scenes from the Indiana Jones films. These are very entertaining and fun to watch.

The game is PEGI-marked with violence, as it contains some fighting. However, the violence is far from detailed, quite innocent and not a central element of the game.

Level of difficulty:

3-6 years: Under the age limit.

7-11 years: Some of the tasks may be a bit too difficult for the youngest, and it is occasionally hard to figure out where to go. But if children have some experience from similar games, a little patience, and/or help from an adult, they’ll figure it out.

12+: The game will also appeal to teenagers and adults.

Suggested age: Suitable for children from 6 years.

Format: PlayStation 3, PC, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii
