I think it's quite an accurate Harrison Ford impression with the constant sighing every time he has to do something.
To this day, the biggest selling point of (the Wii version) of The Staff Of Kings, is that there's a secret code that unlocks a fully playable, complete conversion of the PC adventure game Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Indeed, when I bought Staff Of Kings, I printed an alternative fan cover from the internet for a Wii version of Fate of Atlantis, and used that as the slipcase cover instead of the Staff of Kings cover - and to this day that's how it sits on my shelf of Wii games. Fate of Atlantis being an unlockable bonus game is all that makes this worth the purchase, because Fate of Atlantis is one of the best Indiana Jones videogames ever made.
was looking for that comment - That makes it a great game for the wii :)
That is the only reason I got it for my Wii, I still haven't played the main game.
@@mrmusickhimselfHas anyone ever played the main game, ever? For more than 5-10 seconds?
@@shawnfields2369 I was going to for the Han Solo outfit...but then I realized that meant I'd have to 100 percent a game that is NOT fun, so I unlocked Fate of Atlantis and left it at that
@@mrmusickhimself Yeah, I don't blame you. I'm sure no one would've played this, other than for a code that lets you play a much better game instead of this boring slogfest that looked like a beta PS2 game on the Wii. I've never seen any of the Indy films, Indy and His Jones 1, Indy Jones 2, Indies John McClane Ness 3, Indeed Jonesy 4, or Individual Jones 5: Dual Destinies. But I have heard that the recent one being so bad that it makes the previous one with Shia Lebouf look good by comparison. And they KILLED off Shia Lebouf! It definitely doesn't make me want to check out the previous 2 movies. Maybe the first 3, but definitely not the 4th or 5th ones...
Great, now I’m going to spend the rest of my life calling Indiana Jones “Indy and His Jones.”
Oh no. You say that like it's a bad thing...
10:30 A lot of my favorite movies and cartoons growing up were Amblin Entertainment productions, but the thing I've learned to keep in mind whenever you see the company's logo is that if Spielberg's not specifically listed as a director then his creative involvement most likely just extends as far as being an executive producer. Doesn't mean I don't still enjoy a lot of the stuff that's come from Amblin though.
I don't know why I'm still surprised when I hear Ben or Peter say " I haven't watched any *insert very popular film / TV show here* "
I dunno either. Perhaps you should remember they work a lot and would rather go to a pub than the movies.
@@ravinraven6913That's fair. I've never seen any of the Indy movies either. I don't go to pubs either, but I guess it makes sense, if you work hard at a job, watching crappy movies that let down even the most casual fandom, and casual fans, doesn't sound fun. Especially with recent movies being completely boring dumpster fiery disasters that belonged in a fiery garbage can, and NOT in a theater. Makes sense.
“I’ll uppercut him. Punch his beard off!” 😂
The best part of this game is that you could unlock "The Fate of Atlantis" to play through, a much better game.
Why not just play that instead? Well, If it means no longer having to suffer through this crap festival of a game, then it's a good idea. Nobody should play the Wii version of this game. Just the PSP version. Not sure about the PS2 version, but I'm surprised they were still MAKING PS2 games in 2009. And I remember hearing about this game. And then how basically everyone and their mother, brother, and father, ignored it to just play the Lost Indy and His Jones game: Fates of Atlantis, instead.
Fun Fact: Tom Selleck from the original Magnum PI, was going to play as Indiana Jones, but due his contract with the tv series, he was unable to take the part. Harrison Ford was second choice.
I had this on PS2 and the part I remember the most is knock nazis off of a blimp with a piano
They should make a movie based in the videogame.
Also, I’ve been binge-watching TJ videos yet again, and I gotta say, the rewatch value of this content is incredible!
I could watch many videos a million times and still laugh until I’m in tears!
This belongs in a museum!
I know you boys are busy recording lists all day every day, but I am begging you to just please watch a single movie.
Watch Lord of Ring
They didn’t grow up in America, they’re not used to Temple of Doom being on cable every 20 minutes.
You should try “mr Sunday movies”
@@MrBeardsleylucky them! (To both points)
@@SeannyMegss It's funny you should mention that, as during the production of this game a problem occurred where the material on which the discs were being printed oxidized, causing a chemical reaction that made them turn blue and become unusable. Because of this the staff working on the game referred to this incident as the "Blue Harvest" which was the working title for the original Star Wars.
Emperor’s Tomb is an awesome game. Loved the environment and the combat could be very fun, if a little repetitive.
You guys were lucky to stop just before an extremely finicky portion with awful checkpoints. It ended up making me quit the game.
I think, story-wise, this game looks like a good addition to the Indy canon. And the graphics are fine for the period, and the voice acting isn’t all too terrible either. It is a real shame they decided to make something that reads, looks, and sounds perfectly good unplayable with incredibly poorly-considered controls. I like my Worst Games to be horrid across the board, a great big heaping of hilarious badness, because I sit here watching this and I think only of what could have been. Like the game taunted us with something really cool, and then put it on the Wii with motion controls.
Don't feel bad, Ben. I am 38 and haven't watched any Indiana Jones films, well, except the...Crystal Skull, I believe. And, I too, have seen bits and pieces, but...*shrugs* It's cool, mate. I get you. It isn't that you think anything bad about it or disagree with it, you just....never watched them.
I am like that with the Fallout games. Never played a single one. I love those types of games, so....I would love it, I assume. I just...never played them. I also was a Nintendo person up to Gamecube and then went to PS2 and have been with Playstation to this day.
Long winded, I apologize. Point being: Sometimes we just...some great things go over are head.
I like these sorts of WGE (like Lair and THE Sniper 2) where the game is obviously not that great but has some redeeming quality and ambition. The wonkiness is humorous.
How long until Cordyceps Ben and Cordyceps Peter take over?
Clicker Potter and Shambler Austin!
@@Boogie_the_cat Damn, already somebody infected here!
The development plan sounds a little similar to another Lucas property...
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed had DMM and Euphoria in the 360/PS3 versions and a toned-down waggle-fest with unique modes on the Wii.
Don't feel bad guys, I was born and raised in California, am almost 40 and still haven't watched an Indiana Jones movie either.
😅👍
Good Indy game? Please, Sirs, the point and click adventure games have some strife in classification being called games but dam they're classics and bloody brilliant
Don’t. Bash. Zathura…besides that was directed by Jon Favreau
Tintin is brilliant, will not let anyone tell me otherwise
And Fablemans was pretty decent 😅
I thought it was a fun flick
Spielbergo also had a hand in the Halo series.
The best part is the inclusion of Fate of Atlantis through a code
That's what I bought the game for originally.
@@davidroberts5250 You can also get Fate of Atlantis by pulling off one glory move
"I'm throwing Hans" got me good.
The edits were on point too.
This is one of the cases where it's just awful due to motion controls / due to the platform it is on.
I own the PS2 version and despite being pretty bland and boring for an Indy game, it isn't outright trash as the Wii version seems to be.
There already was a great Indiana Jones Game. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. One of the best point and click adventure games ever. Prime Lucas Arts.
Pretty much every other Indiana Jones game is way better than this, be it "The Infernal Machine", "The Last Crusade" (the point & click adventure that came before FoA), Lego Indiana Jones or whatever else...
...but yeah, "The Fate of Atlantis" is not only one of the very best Indy games, but also until this day one of the greatest Point & Click Adventures ever
The infernal machine even sounds awful
The edits are on point for this episode :)
23:15 Spoiler alert: Peter conducting a background orchestra mini-game
I don't think Ashton would have been old enough to watch Crystal Skull at the cinema lol
Who dat
you must not think much at all....are you saying shes 16 or less? The movie came out in 2008 which was 16 years ago, no common sense? She is old enough to drink....you don't have logic either that tells you the stuff you're thinking is not based in or any where near reality? she was born in at least 2003
sad when you can't tell who is an adult. Even sadder when you think you're watching a child instead, thats really creep mate.
@@ravinraven6913 uh I think it was a joke?
7:19 I thought this was a spider-verse spoiler warning. Confused the dingles out of me.
same here...they seem to use the exact same baby language for both arachnophobia warnings and spoiler warnings...this kinda makes sense when you look at parliament and you hear them using baby words too
Eon Productions refused Steven Spielberg’s offer to make a Bond movie because studio founder Albert Broccoli felt Bond was too quintessentially British for an American director (ironic since Broccoli was an American himself). Spielberg was also hot off Jaws and Close Encounters, so he had the clout to demand a level of creative control Broccoli refused to give any director. Spielberg later remarked that by the time he eventually was offered a Bond film, they couldn’t afford him.
The desktop adventures were amazing!
Lol I used to play the Indiana Jones one and the Star Wars Desktop Adventures.
Lots of nostalgia.
I remember seeing this game when it came out and I always meant to pick it up but never ended up doing it, good thing I guess lol
Spielberg has mostly avoided giant IP stuff lately, and when he does it its less than great. but he did direct the most recent version of West Side Story. I personally loved that.
Using the torch to flick away all the buggies… it’s JUST like Uncharted 3!
The Fate of Atlantis was epic
to answer you guys question the Kings staff was a staff held by the Persian Empire's rulers
yes the persian rulers claimed it was the very biblical staff but lets reql talk i doubt that even existed so just from facts and sciences it belonged to persian rulers not Moses. The latter is based on zero evidence or facts so to me and any science based intellectual of history thats unproven legend nothing more lol
I still will just never understand how you guys have basically never watched any film ever made.... Madness 😅
Hope you have had a relaxing weekend
So it's basically an Indie game?
i bought this on wii just so i could unlock indana jones and fate of atlantis on the wii
and the wii says why press a button when you can wildly flail your arms about instead?
If this wasn’t a big IP nobody would remember it fondly 😂
I have weird nostalgia for the period in which celebrity likenesses in games were basically a child's papier mache project.
How didn't all of the games just have all of the celebrities? How would anyone be able to win that case in court?
"As you can see, your honor, this malformed, mushy balloon bares a close resemblance to my client."
I like Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings
‘hmmm… worst video game ever. Not sure I’ve ever come across it, I’ll check it out.’
* Also. It’s on the Wii platform.
‘This is rapidly becoming really unsavoury….’
Munich, THe Terminal, Lincoln and especially Bridge of Spies are all good films directed by Spielberg since the 90's.
‘No I don’t doesn’t’ slayed me
It seems as tho this guy and Darkseid are more or less inseparable as far as who is more powerful.
All I know of Darkseid is via Zac Snyder but It’s almost hard to look past his funky, knuckle-ball, eye lasers which exist specifically for the horror they would induce.
I also heard Darkseid can bestow an eternal hex on any given being in which he would kill them however he did in the current reality but would also tag them with a compounding impairment which see’s them doomed to live out an existence which will suffer a worse experience than that which was encountered the incarnation prior.
… which really is as bleak as fuck.
You can absolutely still be excited for Spielberg movies! I'm not sure I would take my recommendations about what Spielberg movies are good or not from someone who hasn't watched any of the Indy movies! :P
Should have played the PS2 version, its way better. Not as entertaining to watch tho lol
PS2 version is an absolute trainwreck of a game too! The worst graphics of all versions!
If that’s the case then playing the Wii version was the right choice for this channel lol. They play the worst ones
You are wrong about Zathura and Spielberg's last good movie.
Zathura was directed by Jon Favreau.
And Spielberg's last well received, successful, and critically acclaimed movie was 2017's 'The Post'.
2022's 'The Fableman's' was great and highly critically acclaimed, but unfortunately a box-office flop.
1-3 are great, Crystal Skull sort of stunk the place out. I haven't seen 5 (The Dial of Destiny) yet.
It certainly feels like an A2M job.
"He also did Zathura"......nope. No he didn't.
I mean it’s not good… but worst games ever? Nah. Had some fun with it.
@@Spacething7474 the DS version was swipe controls. 😆 Though the DS version has a more cohesive story.
@@Spacething7474 correct. I’ve beaten all 4. PSP is honestly probably the best of the bunch.
BTW- I was the one who released the lost novelization. Now THAT’S the best version.
I am absolutely calling the next person I see a 'punchwaddler.'
Thank you Fergus Jeffs for sending in that which is definitely worse than most
You know what i'm gonna say, maybe your learn soon.
Uh Spielberg does alot of amazing stuff. Fabelmans was one of the best of the year. West Side Story is phenomenal and would’ve done better if a controversy didn’t end up attached to it. He directed Tin Tin btw. Of his last 9 films all have been award nominated and most have included numerous wins.
Also Spielberg didn’t do Zathura- that was Favreau…
Amblin and Dreamworks are two of his production companies that he produces under so those productions would likely have his name attached.
Well this amblin rings a bell did they do live action
Indie Anna Jones
We already have a female Indiana Jones, she is called Lara Croft :D
@@JustforvisitBut she hasn't been doing too well as of recently. Plus, we already had the proper Indy And His Jones games, they're called Uncharted. All 4 Uncharted games.
Al Gore rhythm
Is that John Lovitz in the thumbnail?
Hi Ben and Ted it's nice to see ya again
(That's a joke
are you guys fucking joking about steven spielberg not having a good movie since the 90s?
I shouldn't have enjoyed that first joke that much. Some ones playing the piano and indiana jones is getting the crap kicked out of him. when you gave the spider warning, I felt like you were about to spoil some spider man universe, not asking us if we are arachnophobic. That is your MO for saying it both ways I guess. But this time it was arachnophobia and not a spoiler...I really can't tell anymore
Well the controls are lovely, just like that dr who game💯
Insightful film commentary there from two lads who have seemingly not seen a single movie
God indy getting mauraded by spiders fuckin hell😂
Saw this on Rerez's channel, and they ha d said that if you want to play this game, get the PSP version.
@@Spacething7474 Just with waaaay better controls...what a surprise xD
Ew psp
1:38 So sad Smol Peter died of Ligma
Trevor better be back in 6
Have to say, respect points have been lost for not seeing any indiana jones movies
@YankeeRebel1348 oh God a typo lol , you edited? Must of had a typo.
I actually wanted to play this game when I was a kid 😆
what is “the sum is greater than the whole” supposed to mean?
It usually means there are lots of good individual moments/mechanics, but despite that the whole game is somewhat lacking.
Ready Player One, is pretty great
By the way, one of the more recent movies from Steven Spielberg: "Ready Player One" from 2018.
Pretty good one.
And kinda fitting name regarding this channel....
...hey guys, you could call Spielberg for a "Ready Victim One" movie!
The PSP version is much better and with simple button commands, there is more fun to have.
Wow, there's good versions of this game? Are they only the PS2 and PSP versions?
Buttertendo T-shirt?!?!
Ooo fun Chaos
Indy juat take off your shirt already 😂
I remember LucasArt's showing the PS3/360 version at E3 2006. It wowed a lot of people at the time, I remember the demo they showed had Indy punching a goon and the goon falling on the car in several different ways.
God good why cant they juat put a button of u dont want to use the wii conteols!!
Wowww that was a disappointment for the game
I never play indana joes games befor ❤😂🎉😢😮😊🍏🍏🐮😃😇😇😙😙😙🍏🐮🐮😙🍇🍇
I had some stinkers on the Wii even sonic 06 😂 oh the worst of all the ports
Cripes
@@Spacething7474 jeus christ I wonder why 🤔
@@Spacething7474 there be too many of these sonic 3d nonsense
I expect sonic I expect the lil 2d guy
Perhaps I'm old
Would love to see you boys react to the scenes from South Park where Steven Spielberg and George Lucas get ahold of Indiana Jones. Classic entertainment those.
BEWHIP
Bump
👽
❤
Woah woah woah this game is not that bad!!!
why do you guys talk so funny?
Munich = last good Spielberg movie
Starts at 4:35
7:20 we have spider trigger warnings now? really?
Lol imagine getting triggered by trigger warnings
that's always been a thing.
