Nintendo Nes Console: Indiana Jones: Greatest Adventures Review

Let me start by saying I'm not very fond of 2D platform games at all.However, there are a select few that I do enjoy, and this is one of them.
Besides the fact that it's Indiana Jones, it's also a pretty fun and action-packed game.The music is excellent, which makes since because it was taken directly from Indiana Jones movies.The graphics are quite good for the SNES, and especially so for a side-scroller.Indy animates very well, and the control is quite good.
Like many other Lucasfilm games, this one is very challenging.However, I can accept that because the challenge comes from the game itself, not from poor control or design flaws.There are parts in this game that are not ridiculously hard, but they do require a whole lot of practice.You also have to use some strategy because many of the enemies are too tough for Indy to go toe-to-toe with, especially in the hardest difficulty.This game plays a lot like the Super Star Wars series for the SNES, except that Indy can't do that double-jump thing that you could in those games.
The story covers the span of all three Indiana Jones movies, in order:Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and Last Crusade.You can easily recognize many scenes from the movies that were implemented pretty accurately into the game, which is good.Too many times I've seen games based on movies make entire long, drawn-out stages out of one very minor event.There is no battery saving, but you can use passwords.
Overall, it's a great game, especially for a side-scroller.And, it's one of the few movie-based games that does not completely mess up in the translation.
