Most of the iconic moments in each film are present in some form which is extremely cool. You will go from exploring a dank cave to being chased by a massive boulder, to cruising down an ice capped mountain in a life raft. Instead the levels and their objectives vary from one to the other. If it were a straight platformer from beginning to end it would get old quickly.

Variety is what makes Indiana Jones’ Greatest Adventures interesting for the long haul. But since the game released in late 1994 I suppose they made the right choice who knows if the SNES would have been active in 1996 when the last game would hypothetically release? Actually it was but I digress. All three movies have enough material to be their own game which is disappointing. The Temple of Doom and the Last Crusade clock in at eight stages which feels off. Raiders of the Lost Ark is the longest with twelve levels and feels fully fleshed out. At twenty eight levels that means there is a lot of game with each film taking up a different number of levels. You play through the events of each film and they have a clear beginning, middle, and end. The good controls are welcome as there are clear situations where one option is better than another.Įven though Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures’ covers all three movies you can’t select them individually. The game makes use of almost every button on the controller so that you can choose to melee attack or switch between the gun and whip if you choose. The whip is stronger and can be used to swing across gaps. Unlike Han Solo Indy uses a whip for the majority of the game. The irony isn’t lost considering it is the same actor. Their jumping animation and arc is the same, the shooting animation is identical and they both have the same roll. This could easily have been a bad idea but in the capable hands of Factor 5 Indiana Jones’ Greatest Adventures has turned out to be a great hit.ĭespite the change in developer you can still see traces of Super Star Wars in Indiana Jones. Yet rather than separate games for each fill Lucas Arts made one grand adventure to encompass all three. With those three games under their belt Indiana Jones was the natural choice to star in his own series. JVC and Lucas Arts hit on a winning formula with the Super Star Wars series for SNES. Developer: Factor 5 Publisher: JVC Released: 1994 Genre: Action
