I played this on the real SNES console with a cart previously owned by Mr. Wuratti here on Backlogged. I also re-watched all the movies while playing this.
It's a game that strangely has packed the 3 original movies into one game. That is a lot. So you're playing thorugh the story of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Temple Of Doom and Last Crusade in order. It feels like they perhaps tried to chew too much at once here, but hey, damn ambitious. You kind of get 3 games in 1 here.
The controls are good and responsive, and it's mostly fun to play and use your whip to swing around and take out enemies. Music and graphics are also pretty top notch for the SNES era, I would say. No complaints here.
The difficulty level is a bit all over the place though. Some areas I would just breeze through, while others I could get stuck on for quite a while. You could flip a coin if the level was going to be easy or hard. The part where you have to drive the minecart and shoot other carts + to change the railing on tracks I remember as one I found as one of the most frustrating ones. Strangely the start level with the huge rolling boulder was also much tougher than most of the later game. So the difficulty seemed very unbalanced.
The game also has passwords, and gives new ones out pretty regularly. Almost too often. If it wasn't for that this game would be almost unbearable to play though.
Sometimes the bosses feels like pushovers and other times not. This made me feel like the game is possibly a bit unpolished, and that some corners had to be cut maybe. Which is a little unfortunate, as this could have been classic level otherwise.. Still, I definitely recommend it. Especially if you like Indiana Jones.
