Indy has got some catching up to do. And he's not in the mood for tea and biscuits. Let's get the Tomb Raider comparisons out of the way. There's no denying the similarities: they're both third person with a large element of platform jumping, they have a similar range of movements and weapons and share a fetish for lever pulling. It's hard to imagine The Infernal Machine existing in its present form without reference to Core's bestseller, and yet there's something in there that sets it apart.

We'll be honest here and admit that we were a bit concerned that Indy's latest outing would be a major disappointment and would continue the recent spout of inferior LucasArts titles. Early looks at the game elicited murmurs of "It's Tomb Raider with a hat on" and "I've seen it all before". But play The Infernal Machine for more than half an hour and the green latexed woman disappears completely from your mind and you start remembering all the great games Lucas have made over the years.

If we'd played Indy without having seen The Last Revelation, it would have been all too easy to dismiss Lara Croft's outings as inferior and outdated. But, as we said last month, the latest Tomb Raider has made such a noticeable progression towards plot, puzzle solving and interesting gameplay that such comments would be unfair. Let's just say that both games have headed in the same direction, with game engine cut-scenes carrying the narrative forward and lots of character interaction.

What lifts Indiana Jones up a notch is just how damn playable and fun it is. We're all getting a bit tired of Lara's overexposure and, despite attempts to give her a history and personality, she's still loved best for her computer-generated physique.

Indy has real character. As soon as you hear the music, use the whip to swing to a far-off ledge and watch the man lift up his hat and wipe the sweat from his brow, you're sucked into it like fat in a liposuction machine. Except that it's considerably more enjoyable. Once you get over the fact that Harrison Ford doesn't do the voices hardly surprising, considering he's one of Hollywood's highest paid actors , you're in Indy heaven. In true Indy fashion, the story concerns a biblical myth, a supernatural artefact and a race against a world military power.

The myth is the Tower of Babel, a human construction which was meant to reach heaven itself and the artefact is the mysterious Infernal Machine hidden there. The game is set in the Cold War Fifties, so instead of overweight Nazis there are overweight "godless commies", although the game doesn't quite reach McCarthy fever-pitch paranoia.

You're not immediately on a quest to find the missing pieces of the machine - you're drawn in slowly, knowing the Russians are up to something but not exactly what.

It's only as the plot unfolds level after level across exotic locations over the world that Indy realises the enormity of his task. The newly established CIA sets you on the trail and occasionally butts in to help you out or to provide that essential romantic interest in the shape of Sophia. You start off going to Babylon and infiltrating a Russian excavation sight and you're soon shooting soldiers and listening in on the heavily accented ramblings of a madman.

It doesn't take long to realise that, while there's the odd bit of action, this is primarily a thinking game, where the only way to move forward is to solve puzzles.

Which, given the demise of the traditional adventure genre at which LucasArts have always excelled , is clearly a very good thing.

It would be silly to have lots of characters to talk to when most of the places you visit haven't seen human life for millennia, although some do pop up to offer essential information, lend a hand or give you puzzle-solving hints the CIA agents, an ancient monk and a Nubian child, to name but a few.

And puzzle solving is exactly what you'll be doing, picking up objects, disarming traps and figuring out how to get ancient contraptions going again. On one level you need to get a gigantic clock working and then make it strike the hour at a precise moment. On another, you can't find a way into a partially sunken battleship until you've found a detonator, launched a torpedo from the shore and made a great big hole in its side to swim through. There's plenty of head-scratching and "Hmmm"-ing and it's Indy himself, in true adventure fashion, who gives you most of the hints.

Whenever you see something interesting, find a strange object or enter a room containing a puzzle, Indy pushes back his hat, scratches his stubble and tells you what he thinks. There's still lots of jumping to be done, but as a platform game it is very forgiving, so you don't have to worry about dying all the time. Reaching a tricky level involves finding out the best way to get there, rather than interminable exercises in acrobatics and pinpoint precision.

And here's another point where Indy scores highly. His range of movements might be slightly more restricted no triple somersaults , but controlling him is so natural and fluid that you won't even notice. Sudden death and hidden traps aren't a problem, as every time Dr Jones senses something nasty, a haunting tune and a few words of warning let you know to keep on the lookout. It might not sound realistic, but it actually works really well as a sort of gaming equivalent to gut feelings and intuition.

The camera also works beautifully, to the point where you don't even notice it. If it gets too close to Indy, it simply disappears, so you can always see everything you need to see. Whenever you enter an area of interest or see something particularly important, the camera swings round in true cinematic fashion.

Like in TR: The Last Revelation, the boundary between cut-scenes and actual gameplay is blurred to the point where you feel you're taking part in your own film. But he's also cool, tough and always gets the chicks - definitely more Bogart than Baldrick. When he talks about the value of an ancient object, he usually means in dollars, rather than the "for the love of history" approach usually favoured by archaeologists. So, fittingly, there are loads of gold statues and valuable coins hidden throughout the maps for you to get your greedy hands on.

Once a level has been completed, there's a shopping screen where you can spend your goodies on ammo, poison kits and medicinal herbs. There's even a map you can buy that takes you to a hidden level which is supposed to feature scenes from the films like being chased by a giant rolling rock. But it costs a fortune and we haven't amassed enough pennies to try it out. But that's not the only incentive to explore every map fully. You're also given an IQ score after each level, based on the amount of secrets you've found out and how long it's taken you to finish.

A combination of the stats you get after completing a mission in an FPS and a true old-style points system, it's not entirely trustworthy as an intelligence test.

Mine reached over a at one point, which surely can't be right. The Infernal Machine was originally supposed to be a PlayStation game as well, but the console version was cancelled. We can tell you exactly why: old Sony-boy wouldn't be able to handle it. While it's apparent that it has its roots in the console-orientated Tomb Raider, Indy's sheer scale is breathtaking.

There are great big mountain ranges as far as the eye can see, not just a painted-on background and, while it necessarily needs the confined caves and temples, you feel that there is a world beyond. Like in the Midtown Madness versus Driver debate, it is the PC-only version that comes out the winner, because the depth of scale removes many restrictions.

When you drive vehicles you can go all over massive terrains, not just on a preset path. You don't just have to swim in small underground lakes and cave rivers - you get to dive in the sea, fight off sharks and find sunken ships and aeroplanes.

Surprisingly, great big sprawling levels don't mean getting lost and running around not knowing what to do. The levels are excellently designed and you always know where you're going. If you do get lost, there's a handy piece of chalk in your inventory that you can mark rocks and walls with. People are still going to compare it to Tomb Raider, but what would you rather play, a Star Wars space sim or an equally good space sim featuring indeterminate aliens?

Well, exactly. Indiana Jones is more than worthy of bearing its quality name. It has the same sense of spectacular adventure that makes the films so much fun. You'll find yourself humming the theme tune on public transport and getting the sort of looks usually reserved forTourette's sufferers.

I haven't managed to complete it yet, but I'm willing to cut down my time playing System Shock 2 and CM3 until I have. And if that's not recommendation enough, I don't know what is. We don't mind killing Russian soldiers, though we are afraid of them.

Or fox-hunters, for that matter. If there's one thing we hate about Tomb Raider, It's having to shoot animals all the time. Being the animal lovers that we are, killing monkeys, gorillas and tigers just seems sick and wrong. It's one of the reasons it's so hard to sympathise with Lara every time she plummets to her death. LucasArts, having a nice family-friendly image to maintain, have solved this by making most animals run away once you've fired a shot in the air.

Not every animal is awarded such honorary treatment, however. Scorpions, fist-sized spiders and piranhas all need to be killed if you want to survive. In one level, you need to kill loads of ugly hyenas before a boy whose help you need will come out of his hiding place.

But then not many people like hyenas anyway. If you enjoy shooting animals, maybe you should go out and buy Deer Hunter 2 instead. You sick bastard. Technology is the scourge of humanity, Microsoft is the Devil and the Internet is Hell. The title of the game isn't gratuitous - almost every obstacle you encounter is mechanical. A relative is a prisoner of the German Nazis, and inside the enemy's castle will betray Elsa because she is a hidden agent.

Scores are affected not only by solving puzzles and overcoming obstacles, but also by learning hidden and secondary elements of the process. Many problems have several alternative solutions. The story is non-linear, and the gamer has the ability to take different decisions, leading to several paths.

Each movie is broken down into five levels, with the exception of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which was divided into three five level parts. The movies would also include a level that would have the player defeat a certain number of various enemies to complete the level.

The vehicle levels involved the player using their vehicle to destroy enemy vehicles. The last level of each movie would consist of a major boss battle, where the player would need to defeat the movies' main antagonist. Console versions of Lego Indiana Jones 2 include a level creator where players can create their own levels and objects. Two-player co-op mode has been enhanced with split-screen; rather than forcing both characters to always be close enough to fit on the same screen, the game will seamlessly split when characters wander apart and merge into one screen when both players are near each other.

The hub has also been redesigned; where before each hub was a small area with easy access to levels which had been unlocked, now each hub is a large area in which entrances to levels must be discovered. This game has trophy support on the PlayStation 3 version and on November 23, , LucasArts revealed on Twitter that it is working on a patch for PlayStation 3 and Xbox versions of the game which will enable online co-op gameplay.
