LEGO Indiana Jones, The Original Adventures

First there was LEGO Star Wars, now there is LEGO Indiana Jones!  The legendary archaeologist comes to you in the LEGO style video game.  Each of the first three movies is a chapter in the game, and each chapter has to be completed before moving on to the next one.  After each chapter is completed, the ‘free play’ is unlocked and you can go back to unlock more games and characters.  By using the Wiimote, Indiana Jones ‘cracks his whip’ to swing across an open pit, fight off his enemies, and break things to snatch up the hidden coins!  It is necessary for players to switch between the various characters in order to solve some of the puzzles!  The game is great for showing different characters with their specific skills, and the need for each of these individual skills required to complete tasks and continue on in the game.  Shows need for social interaction, various individual skills, and the rewards of helping one another.
