I?ve been thinking about some of the Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure feature that the PSP LEGO Indiana Jones The Complete Adventures could contain.
Temple of Doom Ad-Hoc Mode
Race your friends through the Temple of Doom Mine Caverns in attempt to escape impending doom.
This mode would be much like Kart Rider or Mario Kart. You race on parallel railroad like tracks in Mining Carts just like those in the movie Temple of Doom. Playable characters include Short Round, Indiana Jones, Mola Ram and the girl whose name I cannot seem to remember.
As you race along the tracks you can acquire weapons and various items that improve your experience much like the upgrades in Mario Kart. For instance Crates like the one that Ark of the Covenant is stored in as we see in Raiders of the Lost Ark are placed randomly along the track and as one drives through the box they gain an such as the Crystal Skull which would then be activated by pressing the X key on the PSP or B on the Nintendo DS and it would then be launched at an opponent causing a catastrophic explosion which would render the particular player that was the target of the attack and players nearby that player skeletons for about 8 seconds. They would be unable to drive for until the cool off of 8 seconds was over. Another idea I have is that of a Holy Grain another popular artifact from The Last Crusade in which a player gained Infinate Health for about 10 seconds and would be invincible to the attacks of other players for a time.
Capture That Artifact
This game would be a lot like Capture The Flag.
The objective is to race through all four maps (which are locations from all four films) and acquire an artifact, return it to your base and defend it from your opponents and natural disaster.
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Capture The Idol.
Make your way through the Amazonian Jungle Temple to the altar where the golden fertility idol stands and then avoid the rolling boulder, once outside avoid your opponent?s attacks as you make your way back to your base. Team work is the name of the game here.
Rescue The Ark.
In this level you must make your way into your opposing teams base and battle your way to the Ark of the Covenant and bring it back to your base two players will need to carry the Ark back to their base while a third player holds off the opposing teams attack man.
The game is won once you?ve made it back to your base.
Temple of Doom.
Players can play as either Indy, Short Round, Mutt Williams or Mola Ram or a custom character.
Capture the Sunstone.
Players must navigate a labyrinth into the Temple of Doom and battle Mola Ram?s henchmen and after clearing the area of them they must then dig for the Sunstone and escape in the Mine Carts and return the stone to their base before it is taken by a member of the opposing team.
Cemetery Death Match Crystal Skull Quest
Indy and Mutt must find the Crystal Skull before they are clobbered by Grave Guardians.
This game can contain up to four players two to play as Indy and Mutt and two to play as the Grave Guards in Original Ad-Hoc/ Infrastructure play while in Ultimate Ad-Hoc/Infrastructure play you can have up to 8 players. Blue team has Indy, Mutt, Short Round and Indy?s father while Red team has Grave Guards, Spalko and Mola Ram or a German Soldier.
The Blue Team is equipped with shovels to dig for a key to unlock the door into the cave. As they dig they must remain aware of there opponents and constantly fend off the opposing team members. They must also be careful of where they dig because if they dig up a mine they?d be blown to little bricks and have to respawn.
Once they have gained the key they can unlock the door and search for the Crystal Skull while still avoiding their opponents along with booby traps, spiders and unstable platforms. Once a player finds the Crystal Skull they gain amazing powers such as being able to destroy an opponent in one powerful punch. If they are using Mutt they can choose to use either a sword or switchblade which through the power of the Crystal Skull can change into a lightsaber. If Spalko gains the Crystal Skull she can cause her opponents to have to wait an extra 4 seconds before they respawn if slain by her.
Once you?ve reached your base and placed the Crystal Skull in your Treasure Chest two teams are teleported to the Area 51 Hanger for a final Death Match.
