The Adventurer Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 I just got it and other then some chuncky controls I love it. What are your opinons on the game?
Schmatz Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 Yeha, I liked the story, but the game looked like Tomb Raider. I also liked the fact that weapons weren't the biggest part of the game... because it had puzzles too!
Trapezoid Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 The levels were my favorite part. So many different places...
1.21 Jigawatts? Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 Its a good game, with a good plot + puzzles, but I got too annoyed by bugs so stopped playing it.
DanSky Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 great game......... The only regret is the graphic... Think at that game with the engine of RETURN TO CASTLE WOLFESTEIN... I say this after seen the nazists charcters... Good game, but LA is not making the miracles that made in the past... JKII included.... evryone is happy because watching the stormtroopers with more poligons than the precedent is surely fantastic, but nothing compared with HF, MAX PAYNE, and the 3d games actually coming. Or already comes...MAX PAYNE is better than JK2 and it comes out months ago.
Skyfox Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 I thought Indy and teh Infernal Machine was great! I'm a big Tomb Raider fan, so I already liked teh style. But this game is MASSIVE.. HUGE... quite big... And the graphics looked great, I mean.. just look at those Textures (Created by non-other than Bill Tiller, CMI genius!) At the time they where some of the best I'd ever seen! And I'm still spooked by the fact that when I finished the game my score was 1138... All the Best ~Skyfox
Gabez Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 I agree with Skyfox, it was great! I didn't encounter any bugs. And I'm way too tired to make this post interesting. I think I will sleep now... sleep... "I'm no gardener, but I read somewhere that plants need light!" Oh, and did anyone else get to the secret level at the end? Eh? Eh? And I found something funny in the game, but I'm not going to tell you!! Ha!
Remi Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 I couldn't stand it myself. If the controls had been better, then maybe, but they really spoiled everything for me.
Gabez Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 Hmm. I didn't have any problem with the controls... In fact, I thought they were excellent. You could move and shhot at the same time, and getting jumps right was really easy. Oh, and the first person look thing was fantastic.
dark spirit Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 I thought it was brilliant! I like how you can press F10 then type makemeapirate (if you haven't done this yet do so now!) I loved the egypt levels, running over those hyenas is easier than shooting them! The original Tomb Raider (being indy!) in a Tomb Raider style adventure!
Trapezoid Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 I wish I could play the first half of the game...

Trapezoid Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 I lost the first CD. I still have the game installed though, and I can load saved games from the second half of the game though.
dark spirit Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 have you tried looking behind your computer I always find old game CDs there except they're all scratched up from being on the floor <
Trapezoid Posted December 19, 2001 Posted December 19, 2001 Nah, it's been missing for a long time. My computer's been moved several times, my room's been gutted. The only place I can think it might be (other than rotting in the basement or a closet somewhere) is under the rug.
SlowbieOne Posted December 20, 2001 Posted December 20, 2001 I felt this game was made just to cash in. They basically tried to copy Tomb Raider and failed miserably. Some of the most shameful control ever, hands down.

Some of the most shameful control ever, hands down. I think they tried to take the tomb radier genre but make a good original game instead of the god-awful series starring a certain woman who should have an unpleasant balance problem. I personally think they suceeded, i'd play indy over tomb raider ANY day, a far better and far more immersive game in every particular
dark spirit Posted December 20, 2001 Posted December 20, 2001 I agree, indy had a pretty cool storyline which was properly introduced unlike the adventures of a certain woman who if she were real would have some terrible back problems due to a certain, how shall I say this, weightage, yep!
BooJaka14m Posted December 22, 2001 Posted December 22, 2001 Yeah. It's a good game and the last two levels in particular are the best because they're so enclosed and just plain weird.
Gabez Posted December 22, 2001 Posted December 22, 2001 Indy had a great feel to it, like you were in one of the films or something. Not the best game ever (tm), but still a very fun and enjoyable experience - certainly recommended.
telarium Posted December 23, 2001 Posted December 23, 2001 I didn't like Infernal Machine. Yes, the controls were very clunky and the engine was already quite outdated when it was released. But I must say that I just didn't care for the story, and the dialogue seemed pretty poor in some places. I usually try to avoid having high expectations about any game or movie, but I couldn't help it due to Hal Barwood's work on Fate of Atlantis. Story wise, this game just didn't live up. I will, however, give it credit about bridging the gap a bit between graphic adventures and action games. Although neither the action parts or the puzzles were that great, in my opinion. I never did find the killing of communists to be fun. I had very little fun playing this game, even though I really wanted to. "I'm no gardener, but I think I read somewhere that plants need light." -- Yeah, no sh*t, Professor Jones.
Gabez Posted December 23, 2001 Posted December 23, 2001 Indeed, although I'm really suprised about the amount of problems people had with the controls - I thought they worked really well. Beh.
telarium Posted December 23, 2001 Posted December 23, 2001 I just felt them to be slow and cumbersome. It didn't have the smooth, fast, fun controls of a game like, say, Max Payne, Alice, or Drakan... not that I loved those games, but I enjoyed their controls. Indy moved like an old man in comparison... which I suppose he is by now.
Lemon Head Posted December 27, 2001 Posted December 27, 2001 it had the same controls as tomb raider and i dont see anyone dissing that - maybe if jones had got a little surgery things might have been different
