LEGO bricks are seemingly becoming more well-known as LEGO digital bricks nowadays with the brand’s jump into the video game industry a few years back. We’ve already seen LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Batman, LEGO Indiana Jones and there’s even a LEGO Rock Band – not even based on a movie but on another game as simply a LEGO-styled skin.

As we know, Ubisoft makes the Prince of Persia video games and Disney’s film adaptation of The Sands of Time is coming out in summer, 2011 and that of course means, LEGO toys will accompany it. But does it mean we can expect a LEGO Prince of Persia game too?

“I’ve noticed everyone wants online co-op with LEGO Indy 2. Give it a few weeks – we’re working on a patch for 360 and PS3 as I type this!” was posted on the account yesterday.

This is good news for fans of the game as the LEGO title format lends itself naturally to online play. The game normally requires a minimum of two on-screen characters to solve puzzles, one controlled by the computer, and the other by the player. Co-op would afford the opportunity for friends to tackle levels together online if you’ve got no one to play with at home.

Short version:  Indiana Jones returns to the tried and true Lego format, boasting fun gameplay and a humorous story adapted from all 4 movies.  A complex hub system, and rough play controls on vehicle levels might frustrate some, but ultimately Indy’s return to Lego land adventure are the building blocks for a great game.

Indiana Jones might not be as large a LucasFilm property as Star Wars, but it’s a widely popular classic nonetheless. I’m always excited for Indiana Jones news of any kind because when the man with the hat is back, adventure is always right around the corner. The character has seen a myriad of video game releases since 1982’s Raiders of the Lost Ark on the Atari 2600. While subsequent releases over the years have included new adventures of Dr. Jones, the latest title, LEGO Indiana Jones 2 proves that using the films as source material is still the best way to go.

I was surprised to find that the original Lego Indiana Jones would be receiving a sequel. The first game, which borrowed from the successful formula used in the great Lego Star Wars games, had already spanned all three of the archaeologist’s original movies. Beyond incorporating recent Kingdom of the Crystal Skull material, the developer would have to reinvent the original trilogy for the sequel’s new content. The answer for Traveller’s Tales was simple: if the first game was to be a Lego parody of the Indiana Jones movies, then the sequel would be a Lego adaptation. The differences are discreet, but effective when measured against the first game.

The fun and light-heartedness is back for a sequel to the LEGO universe’s take on Indiana Jones. LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is the latest in the series video game adaptations based on the lovable and ever-lasting toy blocks and their large portfolio of major brand licenses.

These games are great for the youngsters, easily accessible, co-operative (always important) and make for a good time for players of all audiences. That is also its only weakness as it can be overly simple to play at times. Check out the trailer after the jump.
