the Indiana Jones Trilogy. Watching all three back-to-back it's possible to unravel the chronology and chart the spiritual journey of our hero: the idealistic Young Indy ("It belongs in a museum", implores River Phoenix in the opening escapade of The Last Crusade) grows up to become a cynical fortune-hunter seen trading archaeological treasures with Chinese gangsters at club "Obi-Wan" in The Temple of Doom. From there we follow his path to redemption via three mystical religious objects: respectively Hindu (the Shankara stones in Temple of Doom), Jewish (the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders), and Christian (the Holy Grail itself in Last Crusade). But that's just the subtext. Along the way, this knight-errant archaeologist undertakes improbable adventures (featuring spiders, snakes, rats, insects and Nazis galore), rescues damsels in distress (even when they really don't want to be rescued, such as Kate Capshaw in Temple of Doom), and still finds time to bond with his dad (Sean Connery, in one of cinema's great cameo roles as Dr Jones Sr.) Steven Spielberg revels in Lucas's recreation of 1930s cliff-hanger serials, infusing every scene with kinetic energy and infectious enthusiasm and creating any number of iconic sequences that have become touchstones of cinematic history. Director and producer are more than ably assisted by regular composer John Williams, whose swashbuckling Korngold-inspired Raiders theme casts Harrison Ford as a modern-day Errol Flynn. Although a fourth movie is promised, this trilogy plays like a self-contained whole that leaves nothing wanting: from the witty dialogue and breathtaking action choreography to the near-perfect casting, this is popular movie-making at its very peak. --Mark Walker

Brilliant!!! Review ofLEGO Star Wars II - The Original Trilogy (Xbox360)by
beavisrose
Advantages: Great 2-Player mode, Have to use a bit of logic Disadvantages: You're basically re-playing the original game for part of it
...Love it! Brilliant fun! Especially on the 2-player mode as you really have to work together, my boyfriend & I have often attempted a 'quick go', only 2 stay playing 'til 2am! ...of course, it can be a bit repetative if you have already played the 1st one, but to be honest, you'd have 2 have a very good memory 2 know where all the secret items are! plus, they have also added a few things to the original game.
You don't even have to be a die-hard star wars fan (although it probably does help 2 make sense of the storyline!) ...the characters are fun & entertaining enough to stand alone.
If you have any doubts, just buy it! ...i promise you will not be dissapointed! ...and it certainly is not just for kids! (coming from 21 & 23 year old mega fans!)
...bring on lego indianajones! can't wait!...

Advantages: has a hard drive,HD ready, XBOX Live Disadvantages: controllers require batteries unless buy an accessory, fan seems to loud at first
...The Microsoft XBOX360 is a fantastic console, and that comes from experience!
Having been bought the 360 as a gift at christmas, I find the XBOX360 enjoyable
The XBOX360 boasts a standard 20GB hardrive, which can be easily ugrapded,if the user wishes to.
The XBOX360 also boasts a great online service, XBOX Live, which is free (silver) and can be again,upgraded to a premium service.
The only downside to the XBOX360 , is, when you first set up the product, the internal fan does seem rather loud. However, it only took me a few days to get used to the noise- now I hardly even realise the fan is operating .
The XBOX360 is also great graphics wise, as it an HD compatible console...

A Disappointment Review ofIndianaJones Desktop Adventures (PC)by
becky_uk
Advantages: Disadvantages:
...This game is not an adventure game. It has simple graphics and little or no sound. The demo version is just about as good as the full version! Unlike the other IndianaJones games in the series, this does not need a mouse to operate, there is no real storyline, and the game is hardly even playable. It is a type of 2D platform type game, and IndianaJones goes around various levels (he is controlled by the keyboard) collecting items which you have to use. The game is no good and unsuitable....
