Indiana Jones: Staff of Kings for Wii

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for Wii is a great game. It’s an adventure game that involved fighting and problem solving to create the perfect mix for a ‘movie game’.

Its rated Teen for mild language and violence, but it was challenging enough that only teens could effectively solve the puzzles and advance in the adventure. My 11 year old son spent hours trying to solve the puzzles and figure out how to conquer each challenge. Keep the level of game playing in mind as you choose Indiana Jones for your kids. If they’re too young, or an inexperienced gamer, they may become frustrated quickly with this game.

I really liked this game because it wasn’t simply a fighting game. It’s not just one fo those mindless punching and kicking games with incessant button pushing. This is a smart game that can capture the attention of kids, while holding the interest of adults.

You can use Indy’s famous whip to take down the bad guys, which is more fun than the standard fight moves. And, the Wii remote and nunchuk allow for more ways to interact with the game and feel more in control.

There are several interestingenvironments including river rapids, a jungle, a temple, and even flying a plane. I’ve heard the graphics are better on the 360 and PS3 (but which games don’t have better graphics on those systems), but the Wii interactivity far outweighs any graphics loss.

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings is highly recommended for older kids and their parents )
