Kellam Eanes: LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is Indy's greatest adventure yet. Foes from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the Original Adventures team up against him for a spectacular action adventure. We're bringing back the aspects of LEGO game play that fans love –drop-in/drop-out co-op, puzzle solving, character swapping, and free-play abilities. In LEGO Indy 2, we're introducing an entirely new builder feature, allowing for user-created content for the first time ever in a LEGO game. LEGO Indy 2 will feature innovative re-tellings of the classic Original Triolgy encounters, new brawl and vehicle levels, and the most authentic LEGO experience you can have in a game – creating an adventure of your own.
IGN: What about the sort of content the game is going to cover?
Kellam Eanes: The game play will be structured around six large level "Hubs," which will be levels unto themselves. Think Barnett College (LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures) and the Cantina (LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga) Hubs blown out to a larger, more interactive scale. For instance, for the Raiders of the Lost Ark Hub, you'll be able to fly a plane, swim around islands, or ride a boat within the Hub itself. There are five levels within each of the six Hubs.
Kellam Eanes: With a new and improved whip, Indy will now have the ability to whip enemies over to him, tie them up, throw them over his shoulder, and even use them as tools to activate levers.You can also now use the whip in tandem with another character to trip enemies.
IGN: One of the most interesting features of this title is the option to build and play your own stages. How does this system work, and can you touch on specifics like how big a stage you might be able to build, what kinds of LEGO blocks and special pieces you can use, as well as what you can do with a stage after you're done building it?
Kellam Eanes: The Builder allows you to create your own levels, tombs, challenges, or more simply just fun sandbox areas. For example, you can lay down road base plates, add traps that are activated by levers, and add in your own unique environmental features. You'll be able to save your game when you're finished to enjoy over and over again.
IGN: Can you save multiple custom stages, and is there any way to share them with others?
Kellam Eanes: Once you've created your own level in the Builder mode, the fun continues in Build Your Own Adventure Mode where the possibilities of creating your own world-spanning quests are endless. You can pull all of the levels you've created and combine them to create your very own adventure. From an archeological dig in Egypt to exploring the jungles of South America BYOA allows you to create your very own LEGO Indiana Jones adventure.
