Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues for PlayStation 3
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues for PlayStation 3 turns four Indiana Jones films into an action adventure with building puzzles and short fights. You follow the archaeologist through recognisable events from the original trilogy and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The older films receive new levels, so this is not simply the first LEGO Indiana Jones with an extra chapter. Gestures and visual jokes tell the story.
You use Indy's whip to overcome obstacles, move objects and tackle enemies. Other characters bring their own abilities, so you need to work out who can solve a particular obstacle. Between missions you explore larger hub areas, collect studs and discover new vehicles and characters. After a story mission you can return with different figures. A previously unreachable spot then becomes a new puzzle rather than just another trip along the same route.
You play alone or with two people on the same PS3, each using a controller. When you move apart, the screen splits, so you do not have to coordinate every movement. You can also create your own challenges with the level builder and try them locally. The enjoyment comes from discovering how parts, switches and constructions work together. This PS3 edition contains the complete original game; its creative tools belong to the game itself and require no separate LEGO figures or toy reader.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
Traveller's Tales developed LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, which LucasArts released in 2009. It arrived a year after LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. That first game adapted the three older films using the building-block formula the studio had developed with LEGO Star Wars. For the sequel, the team also included The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the film that marked Indiana Jones's return to cinemas in 2008.
Adding a fourth film went hand in hand with changes to the game's structure. The original trilogy received new missions, while larger hub areas connected the different activities. The splitting camera gave two local players greater freedom to go their own way. This changed not just the number of adventures told, but also how you travelled through the world together and discovered missions beyond the main story. The sequel therefore does not replace its predecessor's levels one for one.
The level builder also gave the idea of LEGO bricks another meaning. Instead of only breaking apart and rebuilding the developers' predetermined solutions, you could assemble an obstacle course yourself. That experiment belongs to the original console edition. This version still tells the four films available at the time, not the later Dial of Destiny. The PS3 game thus preserves a particular phase of the series, when building puzzles, local cooperation and homemade missions appeared side by side.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures on PlayStation 3 covers only the original three films. It shares the whip, building puzzles and local cooperation with this sequel. Indiana Jones 2 adds Crystal Skull, new versions of the older adventures and a level builder. The first game instead retains its own longer film levels.
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga on PlayStation 3 likewise combines film stories with building and character abilities. There you visit six Star Wars films and use the Force and droids, among other things. Indiana Jones 2 stays closer to earthly adventures and gives its local players greater freedom of movement through a splitting screen.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens on PlayStation 3 uses the same alternation of action, collecting and building, but concentrates on Episode VII and additional stories. Multiple building choices and cover-based blaster battles change the puzzles. Indiana Jones 2 divides its attention between four films and also lets you design your own levels.
LEGO Jurassic World on PlayStation 3 also lets you relive four films with humour and revisit areas with different characters. Controllable dinosaurs and their physical abilities play a significant role there. Indiana Jones 2 uses the whip, vehicles and human tools, offering a separate level builder instead of creating dinosaurs.
Sonic Generations on PlayStation 3 revisits earlier adventures like Indiana Jones 2, but turns them into new high-speed levels. You alternate between two versions of Sonic and improve your routes and jumps. Indiana Jones 2 primarily rewards building solutions, character choices and cooperation. It therefore revisits familiar material in a different way.
