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.
