Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings
About the Game
In this newest 3D Indiana Jones adventure, the famed archaeologist finds himself once again searching for "fortune and glory" by seeking the fabled Staff of Kings, the staff that Moses used to part the Red Sea. Set in 1939, Indy's adventures take him across the globe through areas such as San Francisco, Istanbul, Odin and Panama, and he races against time to find the religious artifact before the Nazis do.
Gameplay & Core Systems
In addition to his whip, Indy can use his revolver to take out foes in an arcade style shooting mode, and ride vehicles or animals in certain action sequences. Multi-player modes are also available, allowing players to re-enact scenes from the movies, or battle against each other. While the game is the same for all platforms, the Wii version uses motion controls to simulate Indy's fists, whip, and gun.
