Wow, this game got some horrible reviews. Knowing that, Zero Punctuation's take on it should be golden (his reviews always are, anyway). Watching now...

EDIT: ROFL!!!!1

The review of Lego Indiana Jones this week also brings with it a new, original theme tune and intro sequence. And so, as reliably as the tides, there has been a lot of hostility towards it. Most of it I'm putting down to the human instinct to be opposed to sudden changes in routine and status quo. I'd like to point out that if the reviews had had original music and an intro like that from the very beginning no-one would have cared. I'd also like to point out that I kind of thought everyone was here for the video game criticism, which is unchanged.

Firstly, no, this wasn't because of pressure from the Escapist. It was my idea to spruce up the videos and make them look a bit more professional, because otherwise it reflects poorly on me. Extreme paranoia concerning copyright infringement may also have played a part and I wanted to err on the side of caution.

The new intro might be a bit PEPSI MAX for you but frankly I like it. It gets me pumped. And for the music I asked for something awesome with squealy guitars because I'm extremely white and therefore into classic rock. Give it a few weeks, I'm sure it'll grow on everyone.

Guessing the PC version is just as broken then? Oh, well.

Let me tell ya, this is a brilliant move on Atari's part. The last Atari game I picked up was Test Drive Unlimited. It's still broken after a year or so and they seem to have no intention of finishing it.

Doubtful that Atari will decide to put the money in to finish this via a patch, so I ain't buying it, which annoys me because I was really looking forward to it.
