This game is very underrated and usually just put aside while Emperor's Tomb gets all the love, and I'm here to say that this game is better than emperor's tomb.

Graphics: 7
They're not groundbreaking, it was made by a small team after all, but they are still pretty good, and the graphics of the cancelled ps3/x360 version looked amazing too, good effects and color palette, I would never say this game looks bad. There are even parts that look as good as those next gen trailers and demos.

Sound: 9
It's Indiana Jones, all the tracks are great, from the main theme to the original pieces, no complaints.

Gameplay: 10
The gameplay is amazing, it released later, so there's no jank from early ps2 games. The fighting is fun and impactful, the story and writing is decent enough, the set-pieces and missions are interesting, and plane sequences control well, the shootout scenes are a bit hard to control, but engaging, the game is fun.

Overall: 9
It's a great game overall, a diamond in the rough, it has moments that will stick with you. The gameplay is fun and engaging, the graphics are nice, the soundtrack is amazing, the controls are easy to get around, and the game is just good fun. If only the next gen version was made.

Please get this game, it's not hard to emulate and there are some cheap physical copies if you do some digging. BUT DONT PLAY THE WII DS OR PSP VERSIONS!
