Wii (M)
Pros: Set in 1939, this title sees Indy racing the Third Reich to find the uber-powerful Staff of Moses. Nintendo's motion sensitive nunchuk and Wiimote controllers are perfect for the game. A snap of the Wiimote uses Indy's whip to catch or disarm opponents, set off traps from a safe distance and climb up walls. Guns are abundant - unusual because Indy doesn't often use them in the movies - but the violence is basically gore-free, with shot enemies disappearing. There are 38 artefacts hidden in the game that allow special moves to be used.
Cons: Lighting effects look wrong and the game appears chunky. The control system struggles with accuracy in busy multiple combat scenes.
Verdict: Aside from graphics issues and the overly simple puzzles, it is a hugely entertaining game with more than enough content to warrant adding it to the collection.
