Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Action Game

Allez-y sans crainte, je vous le dis, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade c'est du tout bon.

Trying to get off the first level is hard enough, let alone attempting the rest of the game! The graphics and sound are both really good, with Indy leaping, punching and whipping around, and the backdrops are very fancy, indeed. Gripes aside, the game is incredibly addictive, however infuriating, and will have you stuck in front of the box for hours on end. A good game, but certainly not for novices.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is almost as hard as the hero himself! From the very beginning the odds are stacked against you as you battle an amazingly tight time limit and hordes of gun-wielding heroes. There are plenty of nasty hazards and traps to catch out an unwary Indy - so prepare to lose plenty of lives. It certainly helps if you make a map, since the game is the same every time you play it. The graphics are truly superb, with some of the best sprites and backdrops I've seen on the Sega, and the music's not bad either. Seasoned platforms and ladders fans should be in their element with this - those not so good at this type of game might find it all too frustrating, though.

Neste emocionante game, Indiana Jones tem de atravessar seis fases para encontrar o Santo Graal. Como no filme, o pai de Indy parte em busca do cálice sagrado antes do filho. Mas Marcus, seu assistente, retorna e avisa que dr. Jones desapareceu. O herói segue as pistas do pai, mas não esquece seu maior objetivo: encontrar o cálice. Você tem seis vidas para ajudar Indy em sua difícil missão. Os continues aparecerão somente se você tiver acumulado créditos.

På det hela taget ett underhållande spel: många timmar kan gå åt i jakten på den heliga graalen.

Wer auf die Hüpf & Schnetzel Thematik steht findet auf dem Game Gear eigentlich genügend andere (bessere) Kandidaten, so daß sich dieses Modul nur ausgemachte Indy Fans ansehen sollten. Und selbst die sollten nur bei einem wirklich günstigen Preis zugreifen..

Devo ammettere che apprendere che Indy da piccolo aveva la barba è stato uno shock. In effetti i programmatori hanno usato lo stesso meraviglioso, stupendo sprite per rappresentare Indy da giovane e da adulto. In effetti, lo sprite è praticamente la sola cosa degna di nota in questo gioco. I fondali sono quanto di più spartano possa esistere e i nemici non sono in alta risoluzione come Indy dando così un aspetto sciatto e frettoloso. L’azione poi è scontata e manca di varietà in quanto l’unica sezione simpatica è quella del treno mentre quella finale è la più intelligente anche se bisogna aver visto il film.

Additions to the ST game are a couple of extra sound effects, such as the 'Indy walking on cornflakes' effect when he moves. The same's true with the admittedly nice digitized pictures – but how much nicer some real gameplay would have been.

Throughout, its graphical detail leaves much to be desired – Indy sliding across the floor without moving his legs and the amazing static waves on Level One which surely could have been animated. These omissions apply to all versions of this drearily repetitious game.

Obwohl spielerisch recht schlicht, macht Indiana Jones auf dem Master-System keine schlechte Figur. Besonders, wenn man die in letzter Zeit dürftige technische Qualität der original Sega-Module betrachtet, ist an diesem U.S. Gold-Spiel wenig auszusetzen. Spieler, die gerne Labyrinthe erkunden und Karten zeichnen, kommen auf ihre Kosten.

Ein Actionspiel rund um lndiana Jones stricken zu dürfen, muß der Traum jedes Programmierers sein. Von diesem prächtigen Potential wurde aber nicht viel genutzt; das lndiana-Jones-Actionspiel ist recht mittelmäßig ausgefallen. Das Grund-Spielprinzip ist altmodisch, aber brauchbar. Timing und Geschick werden in abwechslungsreichen Situationen gefordert. Leider wimmelt‘s im Spiel nur so von nervigen Stellen. Das Programm wird dadurch nicht unspielbar, aber sehr frustrierend.

Predictably monochrome (and not necessarily a drawback), colour isn't the only missing thing: what happened to the stalactites that plague the first level of the 16-bit versions? More seriously, why is Indy an adult and not a boy scout? Movement is also on the slow side especially when Indy whips a bad guy; not very impressive.

Sadly, this movie legend winds up in the same pile of failed movie carts as E.T. and Back to the Future. Perhaps Indy will play better as a hand-held. If not, maybe it's better that this is the Last Crusade.

Die Grafik ist hübsch, die Akustik schrecklich und das Spiel ein unterdurchschnittliches Jump'n'Run.

A colourful loading screen promises a good game, but its actual appearance makes it look like a direct port over from the Spectrum – and movement is even slower, with Indy swashbuckling at the speed of a crippled snail. See the movie, but approach the game with caution.

Qui n’a pas rêvé de vivre les aventures trépidantes d’Indiana Jones ? Ce n’est malheureusement pas avec ce jeu que vous les vivrez. Bâclée, l’adaptation ne rend aucunement hommage au héros. Pourtant, on se surprend à recommencer encore et encore pour enfin venir à bout de ces pièges diaboliques et découvrir le Graal. Peut-être pour sauver Indy de ce mauvais jeu…

ndiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a short game, but due to the annoying control, cheap A.I. and insane difficulty level, most gamers probably will kick this horrible product into the dusty part of their game collection before finishing it. And that's rightly so, because it is just one of the many games that proves that for unclear reasons, movies and games seldom form a quality mix. Actually, that's quite an euphemistic statement for such a turd as this game manages to be!

Wer ein unterirdisch schlechtes Spiel sucht oder einen eingefleischten Indiana Jones-Fans zum Flennen bringen will, dem sei dieses Modul sehr ans Herz gelegt, alle anderen machen besser einen riesigen Bogen um diesen Titel.

The controls are uncommonly poor. Jumping only works half of the time, and trying to leap at the edge of a platform sends you plunging into the abyss. Swinging on your whip is about as easy as picking up a watermelon seed! The characters are poorly rendered with cheesy black outlines, and the villains of the first stage look more like a bunch of Jerry Garcia impersonators! The catacombs are loaded with flaming mice the size of cats, and the final level isn't even consistent with the movie, as ducking under the swinging blades results is fatal! It doesn't help that you instantly die from touching harmless objects like a bush, pile of bones, or even a puddle of water! And when he dies, our hero unleashes a painful wale that's positively demonic! Even the Indiana Jones theme sounds cheesy. As the final insult, the picture on the cartridge shows Indy being chased by a plane, a tank, and a German convoy, none of which appear anywhere in the game!

This is definitely the most hideous game I've seen on the NES. Indy looks even goofier than he did in Temple of Doom, if that's at all possible. The film provides for plenty of interesting stage ideas, but this shoddy game even makes jumping the cars on a circus train seem dull! The first stage, entitled "Exploring the caves", is about as unimaginative as you can get, with all the obligatory cheap hits including falling stalactites. It's hard to grab onto ropes, and fights with bad guys amount to trading punches until somebody falls over. The controls are so stiff that I might as well be controlling C3PO. Last Crusade is one truly pathetic piece of trash, and for a 1994 game (by LucasArts no less), it has absolutely no excuse.
