A new video for LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues has been released and it’s posted past the break, courtesy of BigDownload.

It’s basically the scene from the bar during the first part of the first movie, with clips from it coinciding with the LEGO version.

Looks rather cute. Makes us want to watch the movie again.

Game’s out November 17.

Only two weeks to go! GameInfoWire‘s got some new screens of Lego Indiana Jones, and they look fantastic. Roll on June 6. Take a look.

EG’s just posted this, saying there isn’t going to be a Lego Indiana Jones demo for consoles before launch.

The new comes after the release of the PC demo yesterday.

It’s on Gamershell and it’ll cost you 464.62Mb of hard drive. No idea what’s actually included in it, but you owe it to yourself to find out. So do.

It’s on Gamershell. This look to be ramping up somewhat for the title now, what with the website being launched this week, and all, and with only a little over a month to go we’re on the verge of excited. Take a look. The movie’s chock-full of scenes from the movies, including the fist fight next to the Nazi plane with Pat Roach, the pit of snakes and tons more. June 6 can’t happen soon enough.

LucasArts has launched the official site of Lego Indiana Jones, “the game your wife will play”. We thought there was a demo on there for the PC version then, but there’s just a “coming soon” on the download bit after you click the demo link. But the site’s got great music, so that’s fine.

The game releases on June 6 in Europe for DS, PC, PS2, PS3, Wii and 360.

This has to rank as one of the greatest videogames interviews of all time. Eurogamer got some time with Paul Freeman – the actor that played wicked French gold-digger Belloq in the original Indiana Jones movie – as part of Lego Indy PR. A bit:

Eurogamer: Does it look like the sort of game you might be able to get into?

Paul Freeman: Me? No. I will never play a game in my life.

Eurogamer: Even though you’re in this one?

Paul Freeman: But I’m not, am I? It’s this little fat plastic cube… It doesn’t look the least bit like me. How could it, a little yellow plastic cube? It wears a white hat at some point. It is better than Marian’s, though. They haven’t made her the most beautiful LEGO figure in the world, have they? Her hair looks a bit like a tea cosy. It’s strange.

Must-read. Go now.

Blimey. Activision just put out a Lego Indiana Jones fact sheet that claims more than 60 characters are playable in the game, including Marion Ravenwood, Short Round, Rene Belloq, Willie Scott, Marcus Brody, Jones Senior and Mola Ram.

The game hits Europe on June 6. From the release:

• Everyone’s favorite fedora wearing hero returns to theaters this May in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and families can celebrate the humor and excitement of the original films with LEGO Indiana Jones.
• Tongue-in-cheek humor presents The Original Adventures in a manner only LEGO can whip up, with comical reinterpretations of classic Indiana Jones scenes and elements.
• Use Indy’s signature whip as a multi-purpose tool to attack, disarm, swing across gaps, activate levers and interact with a world of LEGO objects and puzzles.
• For the first time, LEGO Indy characters are fully immersed in their environment; swim, climb, shimmy across rock ledges and pick up and carry objects.
• Use a variety of weapons from the environment to fight enemies (e.g., chairs, guns, swords, bottles).
• Unlock more than 60 playable characters, including villains and supporting characters (Marion Ravenwood, Short Round, Rene Belloq, Willie Scott, Marcus Brody, Jones Senior and Mola Ram).
• Character specific abilities include excavation by Satipo, an umbrella slide by Marcus Brody, and monkey access by Marion Ravenwood.
• Create unique playable characters like Sallah Scott or Mola Round by mixing and matching the LEGO body parts of all playable characters.
• Explore the globe and solve puzzles that encourage creative thinking through the use of teamwork and unique building situations only possible in a LEGO world.
• Cooperative gameplay encourages parents to share the legacy of Indiana Jones with their children in a fun and humorous way.

Here, just because we know you love it. The game ships in June.

This does look great. The new footage shows plenty of gameplay from the beginning of the game, including the walk through the jungle at the start of the first movie and being chased by the rolling ball. All good.

A press release Play.com Live just put out – the focus of which is that Lego Indiana Jones is going to be playable at the event – has given a release date for the game as June 6.

The title previously had a June 3 date for the US, but no specific European date had been confirmed.

Activision’s not picking up the phone right now, but we’ve left a message. Gemma Atkinson and Indiana, eh? Play.com Live’s being held at Wembley Stadium on March 15-16.

Press release after the link. There’s pricing details and some stuff about a £5,000 Guitar Hero competition too.

Here. Lego Indiana Jones’s pack art clearly shows Short Round, Marion and French Archaeologist Dr. Bellog from Raiders and the evil cult leader Mola Ram from Temple of Doom, and Indy’s father Henry Jones from the Last Crusade.

We’re pretty hard for this now. June is the date.

According to this, there’ll be no Lego Indiana Jones demo in the DVD releases of the original movies this summer. We reported this morning that a taster for the game was to be included in the US versions of the films.

According to this, Paramount is going to include a playable demo of Lego Indiana Jones in its upcoming DVD special editions of the classic action movies, for release in May. Assume that this only applies to the US for now.

Here. There are a fair few images we haven’t seen before there, and quite a big preview. Go look, if you like it cute, whippy.and non-Nazi.

Whoops. Following news earlier this week that Lego Indiana Jones was to include four-player co-op, MTV Multiplayer’s Stephen Totilo – the original source of the news – has just posted this, saying that LucasArts got it wrong.

“LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures’ will feature the user friendly drop-in/drop-out two-player cooperative feature that players have come to know and love,” the game’s producer, Shawn Storc, said in an email. “However, we are not expanding this feature to a higher player count. I certainly do apologize for any confusion that has arisen; we must have been in a LEGO induced haze at the Collector’s Party.”

That’s that cleared up, then.

According to this, Lego Indiana Jones will have four-player co-op “on the console versions”, and will hit the US on June 3, a week before the release of the new Indiana Jones film.

There’s loads of other stuff through that link, including details on the whip system for Wii and why the only difference between the enemies in the game and the Nazis in the films is that “the bad guys just won’t wear swastikas… The plot will stay intact.”

Xbox 360, PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, DS and PSP versions will all ship simultaneously. There’s no release date for Europe as yet, but will be seen at GDC later this week.
