Indiana Jones And The Staff Of Kings

I loved the first three Indiana Jones films as a child and enjoyed the new one too. I have always thought that the last two Indiana Jones games The Infernal Machine which I have on the PC and The Emperor's Tomb on the PS2 were a little bit behind the best Tomb Raider in terms of quality. The Staff Of Kings fixes this because the developers have put alot of time and effort into giving Indie the most excellent Wii controls. There are three types of punches that you can do japs, hooks and uppercuts by using different motion movements with the Wii remote or the Nunchuk for left and right punches. You can grab your enemies and throw them into different objects such as a table or through a door. Indies whip is put to good use as you can disarm a enemy or ensnare them on the neck, waist or feet which is done with motion movements on the Wii remote. He can also destroy parts of the enviroment with his whip and cross large areas too. Indie can dodge by pressing A and B on the Wii remote simultaneously and if you are successful in dodging your attack, Indy will spring up and counter the attack. There are also objects that Indy can pick up and attack with or throw. Later on in the game you get to use a gun which is always the fastest way to kill a Nazi! I don't have my code at the moment to unlock Han Solo so I am trying my hardest to find 35 artefacts as it will be rather cool playing as him too. The graphics for a Wii game are excellent and it really captures the feel of Indiana Jones films very well. The music is spot on and indys voice sounds good too. This game is out on the PS2 as well and I think that the brilliant Wii controls will make this the better version because it really adds alot to the gameplay for me. So if you are a Indiana Jones fan or enjoy the Tomb Raider games then this really is a must have game for you to buy.

just got this for my birthday today and i think this is the best game i have played on the wii so far, its not just a tomb raider rip off as there are loads of different type of gameplay, flying the plane is really good and using the whip to disarm the bad guys is cool,been playing all day and just cant put it down, great fun for all ages and not just a movie tie as its a whole new story!

i got this game for my birthday and its so good but i will admit it can get annoying at times

I had been looking forward to playing this game since its release and now that i have finally got it i can say that it was really worth the wait. Being a fan of the films i feel as though they have captured the atmosphere perfectly with the great music, good voice acting and dramatic scenarios and set pieces. Graphics are not the Wii's strong point but in 'Staff of Kings' they are detailed and fit into the blend nicely, but the story is good and gameplay should keep you entertained for however short the campaign is. However there is a nice surprise in a separate from the campiagn co-op level and the excellent enhanced version of the classic 'Fate of Atlantis' which i would have paid for alone. Basically this is a good game which should be celebrated for what it does well and not ridiculed for what it doesnt.

I like the game's adventure and didn't find it at all boring. The controls are fun (waving burning torches around, whipping things, etc.) but I felt they overdid the combat a bit.

I was hoping for more 'Tomb Raider' style gameplay with occasional fights, but it just seemed that the fights were a really major part of this game. Great if you like that sort of thing.

If they had an option to cut down the amount of brawls, I'd give it 5 stars.
