Pre-E3 2009: LEGO Indiana Jones 2 Detailed
GN: What about the sort of content the game is going to cover?
Kellam Eanes: The game play will be structured around six large level “Hubs,” which will be levels unto themselves. Think Barnett College (LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures) and the Cantina (LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga) Hubs blown out to a larger, more interactive scale. For instance, for the Raiders of the Lost Ark Hub, you’ll be able to fly a plane, swim around islands, or ride a boat within the Hub itself. There are five levels within each of the six Hubs.
IGN: Can you go over some of the playable characters that’ll be returning, as well as any newcomers? Can you still customize characters?
Kellam Eanes: In LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, LEGO Indy is joined once again by the characters from the original films, such as Mola Ram, Short-Round, Marion, Henry Jones, Sr. and Sala. Brand new characters from the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will also join the cast. Mutt Williams and his motorcycle, Oxley, Dovchenko, Irina Spalko, and many more will join Indy on his adventures.
Character customization has always been at the heart of what we and Traveller’s Tales want from an interactive LEGO experience. Traveller’s really outdid themselves in expanding the character creator even further to allow players to create their own adventures! You can create your own characters and have them join Indy, Mola Ram, or any of your other favorite characters in a world that you can build brick by brick, from the ground up. You can’t get much more customizable than that!
IGN: We understand there will be some new functionality in the game for Indy’s whip. Can you go over what this means for players and what new types of moves and control it allows for?
