Manufacturer's Description

The man with the hat is back in Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, and in the world of video games at least, he's never looked better. With the world on the brink of World War II, Indy is on the trail of the mythical Staff of Moses - desperate to stop it falling into the hands of new nemesis Magnus Voller.

Using your whip with the Wii remote works just how you'd imagine it
There's plenty of tombs to raid, as well as Nazis to fight, in Indy's newest adventure
It's only snakes he's afraid of, but it doesn't mean that other creatures aren't a danger

Intent on replicating all the action, intrigue and humour of the movies, Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings features everything from a fight atop an out of control San Francisco tram to a chase on the back of an elephant and a flight sequence in a biplane.

The core of the game though is exploration and fist fights, with Indy able to use his whip for both - activated by a satisfying flick of the Wii remote. Indy can also pick up and use anything that's nearby, as you crack Nazi heads with everything from shovels to giant gongs. Just don't get him too close to any snakes!

Key Features:

Whip crack away: Intuitive motion controls give you full control of Indy's world, including his signature whip and unorthodox combat style.

Globetrotter: Fully interactive environments are filled with clever puzzles and useful tools, as you explore everywhere from the Sudan to Panama, Istanbul and Nepal.

Twisted Metal: Take control of boats, biplanes and tanks in the story mode and then unlock a four-player vehicle-based multiplayer mode to play with your friends.

Doctor Joneses: As well as the single player story there's also a whole extra co-operative mode to play with a friend, with one person as Indy and the other as his dad.


About the Developer: LucasArts

5.0 out of 5 stars For me this is better then any Tomb Raider game because of the fantastic Wii controls., 11 Jun 2009
By Dragonlord (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
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 am trying my hardest to find 35 artefacts so that I can unlock Han Solo which will be rather cool. 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for fans of the films, maybe not for hardcore gamers, 14 Jun 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I've been a fan of the films for a long time and the prospect of this game got me very excited. Got the game yesterday and i love it, everything an indiana jones game should be, fast paced, good story, constant action, spot on music. It's like being in the film. I highly reccommend this for and indy fans.

My only problem with the game is that for those who are more gamers than followers of the film may be disapointed. The controls although fun are a little clumsy at times, and it is quite easy so shouldn't take too long to complete. The replayability is questionable, but if you are like me and you enjoy short fast paced games then you will probably play it over and over again.

I wanted to give it 5 stars (as i say indy fans will love it) but i dont think as a game it is quite polished enough so 4 stars it is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent fun for Indy fans, but you'll find flaws in it., 16 Jun 2009
By Ledreppe (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I agree with everything DragonLord said in his review.

But I would like to point out that there can be times when the Wii's motion control can be very tricky to master. I especially refer to the Piano on a crane section on the last chapter in Odin, in Germany inside the blimp. I had a reasonably ok time with the motion controls until I got to this point, and I still haven't got past it - so I have just gone back through the previous chapters trying to collect all the artifacts to unlock the extra game modes, like playing 'The Fate of Atlantis' game and the skins, such as the Han Solo costume! I'm also trying to master all the glory moves for each chapter, this is a very taxing part of the game but also very rewarding when you clean up each chapter with 100% completion.

If you have high expectations of this game based on the puzzle solving element, then I may warn you that it is mainly an action game, there is very little puzzle solving - and what puzzles there are are often simple. Indeed, there are quite a few gun slinging sections in each chapter, but you will quickly work out a technique for disposing of those troublesome Nazis - and I'll not tell you the technique incase I spoil it for you!

Overall, this is worth playing if you know exactly what your letting yourself in for - and a gem of a game for Indy fanatics. There are some annoying flaws in this game though - mostly the checkpoint save system which forces you to redo sections of the game after dying, meaning you have to retrace your steps or start shooting hordes of Nazis all over again - can be quite repetitive if you haven't mastered how to approach the situation in front of you!

Oh, I must add finally...

The game has crashed on me in two seperate occassions, forcing me to reset the system, go thorugh all the introductory splash screens and then the cutscenes of the chapter I was on - and also having to redo the section I was on from the last checkpoint reached!
