Summary

Step into the shoes of the legendary hero, Indiana Jones, in an all new epic adventure! Set in the year 1939, Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings follows the rogue archaeologist on an all-new globe-trotting quest. From San Francisco's Chinatown to the lush jungles of Panama, Indy must use his whip, fists and wits to fight through ruthless opposition as he spars with his nemesis, Magnus Völler, in a race for a relic of biblical proportions - the Staff of Moses. Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings features completely interactive environments, where players need to call upon their wits and daring to make each spring-loaded environment a weapon in order to dispense of foes in clever and unexpected ways. Also, embark upon thrilling action sequences that remain true to the spirit established in scenes such as Indy's pursuit of the motorcade in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the mine-cart scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the free-for-all aboard the tank in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The PSP system version features a variety of robust types of burst gameplay including combat and physics challenges, puzzles and the trademark Indiana Jones chase sequences.[LucasArts]

GamingXP

Although the graphics and the sound of the game are not that impressive, playing the game is really exciting. The always changing surroundings and the many possibilities, for example, using nearly every object around you to fight with it, are making the game to a real adventure à la Indiana Jones.

Cheat Code Central

Lot of gameplay variety, but the game is short and repetitious.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

The “real” Indy would never let an audience fall to boredom. Repetitive and tedious whip-and-slash game excels in graphics but lacks in more attractive opponents and missions. Not to mention some camera related issues.

Eurogamer Portugal

The game doesn’t present anything new, being essentially aimed at fans of the series that will be entertained while playing this new adventure of Dr. Henry Jones.

Play UK

It's frustrating and oversimplified. [Issue#181, p.83]

Absolute Games

This game is worth your while only if you take it as an interactive movie of sorts – somewhat shallow and anachronistic, but with adventures and a couple of silly puzzles to boot.

Looking for a challenge? Steer clear of this casual gamer fodder. [Sept 2009, p.76]

Game Chronicles

It seemed more like a collection of exercises or training scenarios rather than a flowing adventure.
