Personal review

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - what a great movie... what a lousy game.

Instead of converting the ingenius Point'n'Click Adventures for the Master System or Mega Drive, they had to do some horrible Action game.

Just a quick explanation: You're Indy. You visit the scenes of the Movie. You explore unfair stages, engage unfair enemies and you die in unfair ways. You have to complete stupid tasks like finding objects, or making your way alive through a stage. Therefore the gameplay is less than average, and very unfair.

But now it get's worse... Presentation guys, what have those people at the graphics department done !?
Indy looks crappy, and has almost no frames of animations, the enemies too, the stages and the traps as well... ARGH! Better not say something about sound, or controls... those suck too !

Overall I highly recommend you avoid this game, it's not even worth looking at it !!!

Use your whip! Use your fists! Use your wits! The chase is on, all the way to the greatest treasure in history, the Holy Grail! Scramble over the rumbling circus train, fight your way out of a giant zeppelin and race against time and ancient booby traps. You control Indy as you battle to survive one testing action-packed level after another.
