Zero Punctuation: LEGO Indy

[webDouchebaggaery]

Great review, I may not scorn the Lego sh... *cough* excrement series now, as I have done in the past. However, I will probably wait to play the Lego-fuzzy felt Deep Space Nine crossover (not the rule thirty-four version I definitely do not rule thirty-six that kind of thing).

Oh yeah, 'Crystal Skull' was awesome, exactly like the ridiculous and entertaining previous three films. Yahtzee may have seen the films as kid, I saw them as a misanthropic angst-ridden teenager and forgot my cynicism for a few hours. Also, I believe George, Steve and Harry were making the film for their own personal enjoyment first; and they can because they have a lot of money.

Good review, matches up with my experience so far. Insert a whine about music here.

WTH Yahtzee!? Those musical selections was one of the best things about your reviews!

I expect he is getting popular enough that someone might come and say, "Hey, I rightfully cheated the rights to that music out of some mindless artist, give me money!"

The new intro -while under normal circumstances would be pretty cool as anything other than an intro I would say- made me uncomfortable. Im thinking kind of "Waynes World" style here. Other than that it was pretty good, since I wasnt expecting a lego-"movie" game to be reviewed, so it was a pleasent surprise.

I would play Meccano Dune and Duplo Firefly, you know. Christ, If I had money I'd probably fund them. Alas, I am a poor bastard, and it shall never be. Probably for the best.

Good review, by the way. I was giggling like a schoolgirl all the way through like always. I've never been big on the whole Lego[INSERT LUCAS ARTS FRANCHISE HERE] thing, and it seems I never will be, but at least I know what to buy my nephew now. I showed him the Indiana Jones series last year, and unlike US, he was far from traumatised... The little sod, found the whole face melting business quite hilarious, really.

Well anyway, you'll never read this and I just wasted my time. I'll go watch Raiders of the Lost Arc again now.

Alone In The Dark please! Man, I think that'll be ripped to shreds. Still, it'll be entertaining dismemberment.

I wouldn't bet on that. First, it's been already ripped by the rest of the media. And second, Yahtzee has been known to be more forgiving toward games trying to do something new.

I understand the need to avoid "borrowing" copyrighted music, but why does every god-damned theme song* these days have to be BONE CRUNCHING POWER RAGE METAL? The intro is a tiny part of the whole thing, obviously, and at the end of the day I don't care nearly as much as I'm letting on, but would it have killed anyone to try something a little different?

(*hyperbole, mostly)

*Love*

It makes me angry... Bloody Play.com dispatched Lego Indiana Jones for Wii 3 weeks ago and I still don't have it :~@

7 day bans for the "First" idiots are not enough. They're unbanned by the time the next ZP is released so they can do it all over again.

On the video, the smirk at the end of the crystal skull video was priceless.

 

[Unknower]

Question: Did Lucasart's decline begin when they changed the logo? Also, I managed to spoil the ending of Indiana Jones 4 for me when I googled "jump the shark." So thanks a lot.

But the old intros were better!

(I mean the worst is by far Temple of Doom).

Hehe, I remember a reviewer stating that was the best one.

 

[ThaBenMan]

I LOVE the new intro! And the review was hilarious, better than the last couple have been. Great job!

EDIT: And think about it - the time and energy formerly devoted to choosing the intro/outro songs can now be used to make the review that much better! It probably doesn't amount to that much, but every little bit counts!

 

[Bowstring]

A generic power chord-based nu-metal pile of shit done-a-million-times intro. Just what ZP needed.

Great review, just slightly dissappointed by the removal of the original intro and outro.

 

[mew4ever23]

Love the new look Yahtzee... though I'm going to miss the different music choices based on what you're reviewing. Incidently, for all you rag on about WoW, maybe you should do an episode on it, or it's expansion(s). Also, perhaps one of the DS Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney games. When I saw you were going to review "Lego Indiana Jones" I thought "Ohh, this'll be good."

You never disappoint. Can you belive they released a stratagy guide for this game though?

 

[birdboy]

I WANT Duplo Firefly! Traveller's Tales, please will you? Please? Pleeaasse?

 

[media]

Good review, but ya I have to agree w/ the other oldies. I like the older style of introducing the review. This new way seems... too manufactured.. or maybe you just got bought out by Lucas? ^^ j/k, seriously though, revert to your older ways!

 

[randomjoe333333]

cant view it ever since the new upgraded version of the player. ;/

 

[Slappybob]

What happened to the intro?

The review while funny as usual was also confusing. I couldn't tell if he really hated the game or loved it. So much of it was hate for the game then at the end he liked it?

Bring back the intros!

Oh and all the games he mentioned (Galactica, Firefly, Dune, Babylon 5) I would buy those =D

 

[elpresidente]

The changes suck, but anyway, who am I to say one cannot smear shit on his head if he likes it. If the trend goes like this, very soon, Yahtzee will become one of those countless reviewers who use the words "amazing", "brilliant", "astounding" and "game" in one sentence - even it is for such turds like "Gaylo 3".
