Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is a 2008 Lego-themed action-adventure video game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by LucasArts. Based on the Indiana Jones franchise and the eponymous Lego Indiana Jones toy line, it follows the events of the first three Indiana Jones films: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Temple of Doom (1984), and the Last Crusade (1989).
The game allows up to two players to play locally at a time, offers puzzle and platformer aspects, and has 84 playable characters with a variety of special abilities. As the players go through the stages, they collect the currency of Lego games known as Studs, avoid traps, assemble Lego constructions, and engage in combat. Climbing, swinging, and throwing objects as weapons were new inclusions not seen in previous Lego video games by Traveller's Tales.
Lego Indiana Jones was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable (PSP), Wii, and Xbox 360 platforms in June 2008, while Feral Interactive released the Mac OS X version in November 2008. It was made available on the Steam digital distribution service in 2009.
Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is an action-adventure video game played from the third-person perspective, in which the player controls a Lego figurine in areas inspired by Indiana Jones film scenes.
The game's primary mode is a two-player local co-op game, with 84 playable characters. In the absence of a human partner, the game's artificial intelligence controls the second character.
While playing for the first time, the player can only use preselected figures to complete missions. After that, the player can use any other unlocked figure when replaying the game in the freeplay mode.
Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures received "generally favourable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Martin Docherty of GamesRadar+ listed the game as one of the best Indiana Jones video games in 2021, while IGN listed it as one of the best Lego video games in 2023.
Shortly after its release, Lego Indiana Jones became the best selling game in the United Kingdom during the second week of June 2008, surpassing Grand Theft Auto IV, according to Chart-Track. In the United States, Lego Indiana Jones also sold 267,800 copies on the DS, 294,500 copies on the Wii, and 260,300 copies on the PlayStation 2.
