*/"Lego Indy is very much a game in the same mould as //Lego Star Wars

-- a fact which is simultaneously both exactly what we wanted and hugely

disappointing. It's big and it's funny and it's going last any player

worth their salt a long, long time.

It's Indy and it's Lego -- both are equal parts awesome, so the end

result of the mix is pretty awesome too.

The problem is though that we're talking in generalities there, because

once you get down the specifics of the PC version the game is a bit of a

letdown. The keyboard just isn't hugely fun to play with and the game

suffers from fairly basic design flaws that really hammer this home.

It's a shame. The game could be exactly the type of game to pass the

time this summer while the football is on and we geeks have to otherwise

occupy ourselves. In fact, it / /is that game as far as console gamers

are concerned, only on the PC does it fall down out of a generally

lessened accessibility and ease of use.

Besides, trying to get two people to share a computer monitor -- and a

keyboard two unless you have a gamepad going spare - is never as much

fun or as easy to do as it is with a console."/
