Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine is the first cool game carrying the "Indiana Jones" label. All of the others have been pretty boring. This one rocks. The gameplay is almost exactly like that of Tomb Raider, with Indiana Jones taking the place of Lara Croft. ling feeling is there, and the puzzles are fun to figure out. The graphics are breathtaking (animation is a bit clunky though), the sound is excellent, the spine-tickling feeling is there, it is very fun, and you will be at it for a long time because it there are lots of awesome levels that boost the lasting appeal. Your enemies can be snakes, scorpions, piranhas, sharks, etc. They can also be soldiers with powerful guns. After killing them, you can pick up their guns and use them. If you already have the gun, you can still pick up the ammo. The guns that you can find are a rifle, powerful pistol, machine gun, and a bazooka. You start out with a whip, two pistols, a machete, chalk, a lighter, and health powerups. You can find, in addition to the guns and ammo, more health powerups, archealogical statues, money, and vehicles that you can drive. If you like adventure games, you should at least download the demo. This game is awesome!
