Excellent LucasArts adventure with a unique twist

The Good
Indiana Jones is a very suitable character for an adventure game, but only one adventure was produced by LucasArts (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) since the company didn't exist when the first two movies were screened. So, one day the good guys in LucasArts came up with the idea of INDY IV, and we had the chance to experience another Indiana Jones adventure (and a movie to some extent).

The game features a new story combing the best elements of the movies. There are three possible endings, and you have the chance to play the role of Sophia, your partner too. There are plenty of exciting places to explore and authentic characters to meet, both of which bring the game to life.

All the graphics are beautiful examples of pixel art, and the soundtrack simply fits the game very well.

The Bad
The city of Atlantis is kind of disappointing. It should have been more impressive.

The Bottom Line
A wonderful adventure game based on the best elements of the Indiana Jones movies.
