I actually had the experience that you described! I had the first game on PSP as a kid and got the second with the expectation it would be the same as the console version… I ended up returning it the same day haha. I have gone back to it recently however as well as the DS version and while not as good as Indy 1 or Batman for DS I think it’s a good bit of fun and interesting to contrast with the other versions : ) I do find it funny though that my least favourite aspects of the console version of Indy 2 which are the levels and character roster actually end up being the main improvements in the handheld ports! If only there was a perfect blend of the two.. Also the fact that this game shipped with only 3 tracks of music, one being a constant 47 second loop is bewildering…
4:41 this is exactly what happened to me with Lego Star Wars 3. Having played LSW 2 on the PSP, and knowing that was a very good port, I was really hyped when I found out that LSW 3 would have a PSP port. I was really disappointed that I actually couldn't build bases and exit ships in a mission on that version.
Gosh yeah this port was, weird. I will say though, I got closer to beating this one than the handheld and the only reason I didn't was because some of the required to 100% minigames were a pain to control and one level glitched to start freezing on me. But I remember eventually beating that Island Hub level and being surprised at the ending. Idk WHAT I expected but it wasn't that. Edit - Didn't realize the journal entries prior to levels used console cutscene images. I always thought as a kid they were hand-drawn due to the shaders used on them. Probably helps that I just...didn't make a ton of progress with the Crystal Skull on console while portable only has Crystal Skull levels.
I'd love if you made a video on the DS port of Lego Star Wars TCS. I played that before any other lego game and I'd get even more nostalgia than I did from your Indiana Jones videos.
You EXACTLY described me at 4:35 when I got this game when I was young. I already had the first game and lego Batman on the PS2 and got it for the psp hoping it would be exactly like what they showed in the trailers, and instead I got this. I remember super disappointed and even hating it at first, even though I played it quite a bit. I would probably appreciate it a lot more if I replayed it today, knowing what people have said about the original console version of the game.
To be fair, I will absolutely stand by the console version too; it may be divisive, but it was significant. I'd say both versions are very worth checking out for people to judge for themselves (or re-judge, as in your case), since it seems unlikely we'll be getting any other Lego Indy content any time soon.
Technically as the console version ran on the wii i think it could have probably ran on psp it would have probably just took extra work and time they probably didn't want to do
Yeah, I think it plausibly could have. It DEFINITELY couldn’t have run on DS, which was the big thing limiting this port, since they decided to budget these to be the same version.
@@BaneShakeNo doubt, I remember frequently shutting the sound off. The fact they only had one sound piece is ridiculous, especially with all the variety in the Indy soundtracks.
They also commonly have features and abilities BEFORE the console sequels later do. It hasn’t come up here yet in the videos in-depth, but these handheld ports are deceptively smartly designed.
I actually have been chipping away at that version here and there; I’m not currently planning to cover it on my channel, but at some point I want to cover all things Staff of Kings
This was my second lego game I ever got as a kid (right after star wars the original trilogy on the wii) and I loved it, though the graphics look so much more rough than I remember lol, nostalgia I guess.
I had a pirated copy of the DS version, I could not get past the part where you carry a lit torch through an invisible maze, and the torch goes out if you don't get it right. I also had the original on PS3 and it was impossible to 100% because it crashed every time you picked up one specific treasure in a specific level.
Aw man, that is a bad run of luck! I have (mostly) never run into anything game breaking with these games, though there is one technical example coming up in a future video…
@@BaneShake LIJ 2 console edition is completely under rated. It was the first lego game to have open world hubs, multiple hubs, one of only 2 lego games to have the level creator, the first to have online play features etc. Personally, I loved it, except for the vehicle levels, which I find tedious and loud. Also, it has fridge car.
I own this on the Xbox 360 and cause its backwards compatible i can play it on my one X but man... I really struggled to get into this one. I still haven't finished it 😔 it's one of the few older lego games I've never come close to finishing the story. I played lego batman 2 recently and after coming from the og lego star wars then going to lego indie 1 and then lego lotr and Lego marvel superheroes. I really struggled with lego batman 2 cause of the open world flight controls - then hoping back to this one it was really hard to pick up - I think eventually I'll come back around and play it. But I was like oh lol nostalgia - then I played it and went oof... Maybe not so nostalgic 😢. Not that it's evidently bad but I definitely feel like the first one did a better job of capturing the essence of the films and then because you start with the worst movie in the franchise but with a lego spin + some weird top down driving bits it's kind of hard for me to go - this one is fun. To be fair I found lego harry potter 1-4 and 5-6 hard to enjoy and come back to - I have literally never finished lego harry potter 5-7 just because I really disliked the way the character unlocks were posted throughout the levels rather than within the open world or just by playing through the game itself - so to 100% complete the game it was for me a lot more tedious + wingardium leviosa was awkward to control. Definitely better in the skywalker saga but lego star wars 3 and harry potter you could tell these were their first attempts but that auto clipping was so annoying
Gonna say it, even as someone who still likes harry Potter but hates jk Rowling, every time you take a shot at her, i laugh, not to mention all of your other jokes. You deserve so much more views my man. You put so much effort into thesez and just are hilarious. (The big reason i hate jk Rowling was her view on trans people and the lies shes spread. Both of my partners are trans, and i myself am gender fluid. And yeah, no, she is just.... Horrid) Edit: I no longer have my partners. They dumped me on Christmas.
Your very attitude proves why it is actually YOU That is “genuinely a bad person”. And just like your confusion in what you are,’s you’re probably too confused to actually realize that. It is “People” like you that actually need help more than her, For we are who we are, and you will never ever naturally be able to feel what it is you want to change into no matter what no matter how otherwise it may seem
I think they were in the middle of an animation and just froze for his dialogue, but I’ll have to go back and look at the full footage later to be sure
Despite having some technical limitations, this game kept the spirit of the original more than the console release did.
Imagine how much more racist the Indiana Jones franchise would be if JK Rowling wrote it
Oh god, I don’t even wanna hear what she would name anyone in Temple of Doom…
He'd be beating up minorities instead of beating up nazis.
I died at 11:00 jock forgot how to walk so he's just skating now
Bro’s just vibin’

You went a little squidward with that workers of the world bit

Oh nooooooooooooo
That’s why I’m here

I think most of them are still hand-drawn, actually.
Yeah, that ending comes out of NOWHERE and I honestly respect it
The quality of these videos are amazing. cant wait for more portable lego game vids
Thanks! With the warm reception these have gotten, I’m definitely going to keep peppering these into my upload schedule.
@@BaneShakeawesome! I have tons of fond memories with portable Lego games
Lego Indy 1 on PSP was god tier.
Only because it's literally the console version on PSP.
@@ChaseMC215 which is why it was god tier, esp if you only played that version
As someone who is trans finding a YTer not afraid to bash JKR and HP in videos on Lego Indiana Jones of all things made it an instant subscribe
Glad to have you here!
I used to play this version on my PS Vita, and I loved it as much as the main game
9:24 this made me chuckle
I'd love if you made a video on the DS port of Lego Star Wars TCS. I played that before any other lego game and I'd get even more nostalgia than I did from your Indiana Jones videos.
I’ll keep it on my radar! 😉
Criminally underrated :). Found your channel through the last Lego Indiana jones video. Liked and commented :)
Thanks for your support! I’m glad to have you back
God i remember playing this on the Nintendo DS
28:00 got my like
Indie 2 (consoles) is my favorite Lego game. When I was a kid I was obsessed with Indiana Jones. I loved it more then star wars.
great video! really glad it was in my recommended. i never played the og Lego Indy 2 but honestly this game looks kind of great.
Glad you had fun! I’d recommend playing either of these games’ handheld ports.
it is great on handhelds and consoles

That was me. I was exactly this kid.
So I asked for the 360 version later on.
19:17 Woke Indy???
Woke Indy!
@@BaneShake woke indiana jones... Raiders of the lost PRONOUNS... Temple of GOON... the last GENDER... kingdom of the crystal SHE/HER...
…And the Dial of DIVERSITY
27:40 nah stormie wanted Han Solo, I mean Indy for himself
You gotta try Lego Batman 1 for the ds the game is my childhood and still holds up
I love that one, and it’s been a while since I properly played through. I’ll definitely cover it here at some point.
I always thought this port was really lousy. The same music reused in every single level drove me absolutely insane!
Music is ABSOLUTELY the weakest part of this port.
@@BaneShakeNo doubt, I remember frequently shutting the sound off. The fact they only had one sound piece is ridiculous, especially with all the variety in the Indy soundtracks.
The DS version also literally can't go into sleep mode
I have nostalgia for the ds version thanks man!
Only problem of this version is the music in game. It is ALWAYS THE SAME ONE...
For real. I used more pieces of music for THIS VIDEO ALONE than the entire game did; one for gameplay, main theme for Menu
omg its the lego farts guy
It's funny how the handheld ports are more accurate to the movies than the console ports
They also commonly have features and abilities BEFORE the console sequels later do. It hasn’t come up here yet in the videos in-depth, but these handheld ports are deceptively smartly designed.
Staff of kings has a psp port that's better then the wii version, if you didn't know.
I actually have been chipping away at that version here and there; I’m not currently planning to cover it on my channel, but at some point I want to cover all things Staff of Kings
found this channel from shorts, keep it up, really enjoyed the 2 lego indy vids
Glad I could entertain you! Welcome aboard!
I got this game thinking it was gonna be just like my cousin's lego Indiana jones 2. But what I got instead will always be a cherished memory.
Long expososure to the Lego™ games has deteriorated everyone's brain.
First of all, it was long exposure to the Assassin's Creed games that did me in, thankyouverymuch.
Why was 2 so obsessed with making it's villains giant monsters
They needed sumthin’ different, so they went big
I'd guess it was for experience going into various superhero games while this was still being developed
26:07 I unlocked all 8 of the bonus movies though, all 6 from the console and the last 2 is just the opening and the secret ending of the game
Whatch it from 8:55
This was my second lego game I ever got as a kid (right after star wars the original trilogy on the wii) and I loved it, though the graphics look so much more rough than I remember lol, nostalgia I guess.
I get it. Nostalgia is in 4K, friend.
So you can’t actually play as your custom made characters in this version of the game?
You can in free play levels and on the rest of the island. You just can’t on the beach, where only Indy and Marion are playable
happy to be on this lego fart journey with you... o7
✊😔
Fun fact: the ds version is unable to go into sleep mode.
That is definitely not ideal
I had a pirated copy of the DS version, I could not get past the part where you carry a lit torch through an invisible maze, and the torch goes out if you don't get it right. I also had the original on PS3 and it was impossible to 100% because it crashed every time you picked up one specific treasure in a specific level.

i belive the monke theory
I remember being disapointed by this game. Same with the Lego Star Wars 3 on the PSP.
Just wait until you check out the wild Lego Harry Potter handheld games
Hey! This was a CLASSIC!
Still better than the DS port of Lego Star Wars 2. That thing's godawful.

I stopped watching when you said you liked funko pops
Fair, I’ll take the L on that one
I dont trust your judgement about the heads cuz you unbox the funkos
Lol. I always unbox them. I don’t need my house looking like the Funko wall at a Gamestop or Hot Topic.

Hi
First
