A Little Belated Review
I've been following this thread for a while and I just felt that I ought to put my two cents in.
I have SoK for the Wii and found it to be rather a mixed bag.
The guy who voices Indy is pretty good {I find Doug Lee to be better but I'm pretty old school anyway
}
Magnus would've been an alright villain but the game didn't allow much room for character development.
Maggie is a decent leading lady though there isn't much originality about her. She's in a government service {MI6} like Sophia, she's a spunky fire brand like Marion and she's a {fake} journalist like Kate from the YIJC.
The Wii motion control was fairly well thought out {I can't compare it to ET as I've never played it} except in certain 'special' scenes such as the Canyon Dogfight, The Saving Suzie Sequence, the Co-Op Tank Chase and the most infuriating Piano S*** {It had me stuck for bloody TWO WEEKS!!!
}.
I was alright with the whole no swastikas thing but I couldn't stand it when Indy said 'Germans! Why Are They Here!' My girlfriend {Half German} walks in as I'm playing through the Panama Temple {The part on the stairs just as Indy's about to enter gun-play mode}. She goes, "Watcha doin'?" and Indy replied, 'Germans! Why does it always have to be Germans?' in that tired tone of voice.
Let's just say that she was a little mad {I made it up to her by letting her be Indy in the co-op mode.}
Turning away from my personal life...
The 'burst gun-play' was decent but it rattled me that Indy just couldn't shoot whenever he wanted like in IM and ET.
Indy appears naked without his satchel...I assume that everything he finds throughout the games goes in his pants...such as the Jade Sphere {That would've scared the Natives!}
And finally, as Doc Whiskey pointed out earlier...Indy fights Sudao, dodges swinging pendulums, collapsing ceilings, bugs, the basketball game from hell, a fire breathing bridge {Not to mention all of the stone walls that sealed the path for him as he progressed!} And Maggie steps forward unscated...I assume it's part of your training in MI6!
Well thanks for listening to my mad ramblings!
