Could this be the worst Indiana Jones game ever made? WE THINK SO. #IndianaJones #Indy #Wii #Gaming #Lucasarts #Lucasfilm #VideoGame #JustBadGames #Rerez
As if an ESRB rating ever stopped younger kids from playing. Also, the "T" rating is more like a "PG-13" film rating - younger kids can play it, it's just suggested that parents use their discretion with children younger than 13.
It was rated 16+ in Europe, but I played it when I was 13 since after finishing the awesome "Emperor's Tomb" I was eager for a similar game. But strange thing is that Emperor's Tomb is rated 13 and feels more violent than this one most of the time: there's stabbing, head shooting, throwing foes down from high edges, and the screams of some enemies when they die sound like they are being tortured. So this rating thing isn't always trustable.
@@Emerald-t7k I dunno about that...Marvel had no choice but to gt bought out by Disney because their company was pretty much dead....It could have been the same with LucasArts..they desperately needed the money and had nowhere else to turn
You know, this might have actually worked better in VR. The punching, whipping, plane flying, shooting... Everything movement related would have been better in VR, in 1st person view. You could even reload your gun in VR. It's been done well before, like in Robo Recall and Dead & Buried. An Indiana Jones immersive action VR game. I would buy that.
Do you remember Steel Battalion - Heavy Armor? It was a great game unfortunately weighed down by very broken mechanics because it was a Kinect game. And if you look at how it's played - it's very clear that it would work beautifully as a VR title. Hell, someone's even making something very similar to it in VR called Panzerwehr 1949.
Surprisingly, this game looks very good considering it's on the Wii. It's extremely rare seeing third party devs target 60fps while maintaining decent model & texture fidelity on a system like this.
I remember being enamored with the graphics back in the day. I also thought it had a really environmental-based combat system, though they definitely could've spruced that up for the trailers. Not sure why I never actually bothered to but this when it came out.
Staff of Kings was pretty ambitious for the time, with magazines usually talking about all of the different ways you could use the environment to your advantage in combat, the puzzles, and a in-depth combat system to make you feel like Indiana Jones. The technology just really wasn't there in some cases, and they also made some pretty poor design choices (like during the final boss, along with using the Remote and Numbchuck to steer the motorcycle, you'd also have to point at the screen with the Remote to shoot the final boss, making you unable to steer while you're shooting and the ramps love to fling you into the wall if you're not facing the right way; surprised they didn't mention that part since it's easily the worst bit of the game). If I remember right, there was also suppose to have some segments that had you playing out scenes from the original three movies that aren't in the game, but never made it into the game.
Looks aren't everything, unfortunately. This game is no doubt the Tron: Solar Sailer for the Wii. (Solar Sailer was a game for the Intellivision/Intellivoice that had just about the best graphics and music possible for the system, but the gameplay was positively atrocious.)
Honestly, my problem with the game wasn’t memorizing how to do the combat moves, it was getting the one I wanted that was difficult. The fact that there are three kinds of punches makes it easy to do the wrong one and get hit. My strategy for this game was just whip everyone and hope for the best.
Motion controls, we thought they were the future but after we played them we realized they were the worst idea since Abraham Lincoln said "I'm tired of kicking around the house let's go see a play".
Haha, but yeah motion controls can be done well, or it can be overused like shovelware. When done well they add another dimension to the game. When done poorly they just make for a frustrating experience.
The PSP doesn't suck! It's got a great library with lots of fun games. It happened to go up against one of the most successful portable consoles ever at the time with the DS.
My brother had one as a teen (I was a young girl). He brought it every where and loved it. He gave me his old DS when he got his PSP.... So I was pretty happy too.
@@rerez It's also regularly labeled as a "failure" by a lot of younger folks which is nonsense considering It sold over 80 million units. That's just a few million shy of the 360 and the PS3 and more than the 3DS. Yet because it happened to be up against the DS it will forever be seen by many as a flop. If you were old enough to remember the mid 2000's clearly, the PSP was huge for a solid 3-4 years.
I had this on ps2 and I loved it, I still do, I played it again recently and it was still great. I suggest playing it on the ps2 because I played it on the wii also and like these guys said, the motion controls ruin the whole game. On the ps2 its like an actual game, its not glitchy and theres actual death animations! Im sad that they didn't talk about the ps2 version.
Indeed. It's a bit annoying how they keep saying they hate motion controls as if they were inherently a bad thing, when the problem is that they're just poorly implemented.
Red Steel 2 and Skyward Sword are also games with well implemented motion controls, although in those two, the controls are much more extensive than something like Wii Sports. Motion controls are only bad went they are poorly implemented (the first Red Steel and Major Minor's Majestic March) or slapped onto a game and given no care (Pitfall the Big Adventure one of the most egregious examples).
I played this game when I was younger and it's worse than I remember it to be. My friend and I thought this was normal and just had to git gud for a game that required a lot of motion controls.
Motion controls can work, as long as it's kept simple. Skyward used motion controls perfectly, having only a few simple motions but it uses motion plus to allow for more immersion
Y’know, people always make a big deal about how bad motion controls are when it’s usually just fine. In this case, though… this is not a good use of motion controls. It’s way too excessive. I wouldn’t say that they’re obtuse, though. They make some sense. They’re just bad.
Honestly I'd argue that for certain types of games it was more fun/better. Shooters in particular were VERY fun on the wii because using motion controls has a very arcade shooter feel. call of duty black ops on the wii being a great example of this.
@Emily H Oh, absolutely. Much like how tank controls, as much as people love to hate on them, they actually work really well in certain types of games.
@@bhull242 True like RE1's prerendered backgrounds really make more sense playablity wise with tank controls then without.

@@gagejohnathan9641 I mean yeah RE4 was a great game. I'm not argueing that the new cameras post RE4 are bad just that the old prerendered backgrounds/cameras had a charm about them.
Y4123 i had psp version, thing is after i bought the game from the store, I accidently left the case in the mall, So sad oh well at least i had the game
I had this game as a kid and I probably spent more time and had more fun playing the Fate Of Atlantis bonus game (mentioned in the video) than the main game, kind of embarrassing.
Yeah I enjoying the main game well enough, but feeling the motion controls were a bit much in places. I got stuck on one puzzle and just started playing Fate of Atlantis and never went back.
I played this game as a kid (I think around 10-12 years old). I never had any issues with the controls at all. I loved playing this over and over again
@@gl1tchygreml1n Artificial Mind & Movement (A with 2 Ms). And yes. They did change their name a year after this game's release to Behaviour Interactive(the Dead by Daylight developers).
About the only good thing in this game is the full Fate of Atlantis game being a bonus feature. Hell I'd actually reccomend people interested in classic point and clicks to buy Staff of Kings just to experience Fate of Atlantis.
This is why I rented the game, and played through Fate of Atlantis. I really wished they just released a SCUMM engine collection. From "Loom" to "Day of the Tentical".
@@jameslangridge8849 I have the PS2 version and for the controls, it's easier and you don't have to worry about motion controls at all, but there is no Fate of Atlantis or coop in that version though. :/
It should have been rated M for "only Mature players have the patience to actually get through this terrible game". I think motion controls would be a little more bearable if the game automatically disabled certain undesirable actions based on context so that you don't accidentally do things you didn't mean to.
After trying for multiple hours to get the skull to jam into the gears, I concluded that the game was irretrievably broken and sold it back to Gamestop for about $3.
One of the things I love about this channel is that someone’s you don’t even realize if you’re following a script or not, because your lines seem so… natural and genuine
Fun fact: they also made that grinch game that’s on just bad games as well. Clearly Artificial Mind and Movement was the bad half, and Behaviour Interactive the good half.
"Quickly girl. I'm here to save you. *Go across the- HRRGGGBLBLGLBLBGLBGLBGLBGLRRRRGBLBLBGRRRR* " Edit: I'm genuinely curious what Shane thinks of VR, since he hates motion controls
Motion controls get an unfair bad rap IMO. When it's USED PROPERLY it can very much enhance the experience. The problem was games using motion controls just for the sake of using motion controls and not because they were useful for what was being done in the game. Motion aiming worked very well for FPS games on the Wii U and Switch, (i.e. Splatoon, Splatoon 2, Fortnite and Overwatch) and it worked okay for Mario Kart and such. There were some games in other categories that used it well as well. TL;DR it's not that motion controls are bad, its that too many games used them badly / for inappropriate things.
Fun fact, given Indiana's age in the original movies and the time period they took place, with Indy's age in the new movie, it should take place in the 1970's!
"To right jab: Push the Wiimote Forward To left jab: Push the nunchuck forward To right hook: Swing the Wiimote left To left hook: Swing the nunchuck right To right uppercut: Wave the Wiimote up and back...." Indiana Jones: _Pulls out gun and shoots the guy instead_
The mobile versions of this were actually fairly decent. Nowhere near the best Indiana Jones game (that's still Fate Of Atlantis, natch), but alright brawlers. edit: Lol, I should finish videos before commenting :D
4:24 Actually the developers were originally called MegaToon Studios then after releasing their 1st game Jersey Devil in Europe they changed to Behavior Interactive, their 3rd name change to A2M came about from weird rights issue which later got sorted which is why they later changed the name back. 5 seconds of research.
Forgot to mention the fact that the company's A2M name meant Artificial Mind & Movement. Guess you would've needed an extra second to figure that out, hm.
Was the fifth Indy movie really THAT bad? Or was Crystal Skull just the regular type of bad? Because I've never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies before. Sorry.
@@lazy-a-ile8608 Wow...and the 4th one was the one with the flying fridge nuke, wasn't it? Geez, this forbidden fifth film really dropped the ball after the failure of the fourth one tried throwing the ball to them, they missed and accidentally got kicked in the face instead. They're still lying around on the floor, bleeding nose and all. Looks REALLY painful. Somebody really should do something about it...
I'll be honest the thing you guys were doing together about a year ago or so i wasn't crazy about but this new series is really engaging and interesting and I wish I had known about this new content sooner, great job!
I had this on the wii, and enjoyed it, and didn't think the motion controls were that bad, probably because the Wii was the console I played the most as a kid.
At minutes 9:05 is a reference to "castlevania the adventure", and this one, 9:55 is a reference of "castlevania 2 : Belmont's revenge" But still very funny😂
And it'll apparently remain that way, until the end of time. Seeing as how the last 2 "movies" ruined this franchise so badly, they're not even considered movies, but bad spin-offs that are non-canon. Which I'm fine with, because I haven't ever seen ANY of the Indiana Jones movies in my life.
This is why the Wii had so much shovelware: People knew the idea of motion controls (on paper) was an awesome idea, but so many games didn’t know what to do with it, felt they had to utilize it somehow, couldn’t program something so complex, or some combination of the aforementioned. On the surface, this seems like it’d be a cool idea (look at what Nintendo themselves were doing) but the best I can describe it is imagine writing your own language, and then composing a novel in that language and telling someone else to write the cliff notes for you.
Motion controls can be good. They should be used only when they make sense, like pulling a drawer open or aiming an arrow. But there should also be an option to just press a button or move the stick. Some developers are getting it right on switch.
What's really funny is that three Indiana Jones games were released on Wii, specifically this game and two Lego games, and yet this game still isn't even one of the top three ways to play as Indiana Jones on Wii. Because Indie cameos in Lego Star Wars this game is bumped down to number four, heck if you count the Fate of Atlantis port this game has then it would technically be number five. Seriously there were only three runners in the race and yet this game still couldn't get a bronze medal.
Fun Fact: A2M is Behavior Interactive, the guys behind Dead by Daylight. And that game is well known as a glitchy trash fire over four years into its shelf life.

I don't understand why this kind of content doesn't get millions of views

THE SCIENCE SHOW!
"Piano!"
*mildly muffled. “Whose idea was this?!”
4:24 best part
No 3:34 is the best part
"Quickly girl. I'm here to save you. *Go across the- HRRGGGBLBLGLBLBGLBGLBGLBGLRRRRGBLBLBGRRRR* "
Edit: I'm genuinely curious what Shane thinks of VR, since he hates motion controls
NO, I played this when I was 7 and getting so mad untill I sold it to back to game stop. This bring back BAD BAD memories.
Motion controls get an unfair bad rap IMO. When it's USED PROPERLY it can very much enhance the experience. The problem was games using motion controls just for the sake of using motion controls and not because they were useful for what was being done in the game.
Motion aiming worked very well for FPS games on the Wii U and Switch, (i.e. Splatoon, Splatoon 2, Fortnite and Overwatch) and it worked okay for Mario Kart and such. There were some games in other categories that used it well as well.
TL;DR it's not that motion controls are bad, its that too many games used them badly / for inappropriate things.
I actually never had a problem with this game. Aside from how the motion controls themselves were executed...
4:44 Mr Generic Sounds about right... holy mackerel he LOOKS GENERIC.
Exactly. At least Donovan from Last Crusade had the decency to reveal he was evil later. This guy is just diet Belloq
Fun fact, given Indiana's age in the original movies and the time period they took place, with Indy's age in the new movie, it should take place in the 1970's!
7:44 "Shakes. Why did it have to be shakes?"
"To right jab: Push the Wiimote Forward
To left jab: Push the nunchuck forward
To right hook: Swing the Wiimote left
To left hook: Swing the nunchuck right
To right uppercut: Wave the Wiimote up and back...."
Indiana Jones: _Pulls out gun and shoots the guy instead_
I'm disappointed that you guys didn't play the 2 player mode, which was also pretty bad, but somehow fun to play with a friend.
Just Bad Games , my new favourite part off TH-cam ☺☺☺☺.
You are guys are awesome 😊😊😊😊
0:11 "Nope! Only 3!"
This comment aged like wine. :D
I received this game as a gift for my birthday from a friend , we’re not friends anymore ...
13:45 This would be the worst way to control a claw machine.
can't wait for hot take bloopers 2019.
At 8:20 in, had me cracking up! Easily best part of the video.
So wait...
You're meaning to tell me that Indiana Jones has a manga?
JoJones bizzare adventure
I'm pretty sure Star Wars and the walking dead have manga
2:05 SPIDERS
*starts playing maracas*
The mobile versions of this were actually fairly decent. Nowhere near the best Indiana Jones game (that's still Fate Of Atlantis, natch), but alright brawlers.
edit: Lol, I should finish videos before commenting :D
Y'know, I like motion dontrols, EXCEPT WHEN THEY ARE UNRESPONSIVE, AND SHOVED IN MY FACE. WHY DOES THIS EXIST ON THE WII?!?
Watch this video again but take a shot Everytime they say MOTION CONTROLS
Why do I get the feeling that the cancelled PS3/Xbox 360 versions of this game probably would've been way better?
The PSP version is way better (and actually playable) so I'm sure they would have been.
4:24 Actually the developers were originally called MegaToon Studios then after releasing their 1st game Jersey Devil in Europe they changed to Behavior Interactive, their 3rd name change to A2M came about from weird rights issue which later got sorted which is why they later changed the name back. 5 seconds of research.
Zenks ren A2 M was a wise choice for temporary name.
Forgot to mention the fact that the company's A2M name meant Artificial Mind & Movement.
Guess you would've needed an extra second to figure that out, hm.
I neglected to mention that because I fucking knew already, thanks though. I ain't the one making TH-cam videos for a living
With all the motion control prompts, this game should have been called "David Cage Simulator"
Well...at least it's not Dial of Destiny...
Was the fifth Indy movie really THAT bad? Or was Crystal Skull just the regular type of bad? Because I've never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies before. Sorry.
@@shawnfields2369
Yeah...pretty much was the worst, at least Crystal Skull was little entertaining.
@@lazy-a-ile8608 Wow...and the 4th one was the one with the flying fridge nuke, wasn't it? Geez, this forbidden fifth film really dropped the ball after the failure of the fourth one tried throwing the ball to them, they missed and accidentally got kicked in the face instead. They're still lying around on the floor, bleeding nose and all. Looks REALLY painful. Somebody really should do something about it...
You've got to love a game where the best thing about it is that there's a better game hiding in the special features.
8:46 YES! MORE!!!
I'll be honest the thing you guys were doing together about a year ago or so i wasn't crazy about but this new series is really engaging and interesting and I wish I had known about this new content sooner, great job!
Laughing so hard in 11:45
Brilliant! Do it more!!!
White tiger with maracas
Wow. Imagine if you had to use motion controls to get anything done in real life.
I had this on the wii, and enjoyed it, and didn't think the motion controls were that bad, probably because the Wii was the console I played the most as a kid.
John Whitgrove agreed
Yeah I’m with you these motion controls were not that bad in fact it’s all pretty explanatory. I would say the co op is horrible though.
7:40 I can’t fucking breath that was the Funniest thing I have ever seen
At minutes
9:05 is a reference to "castlevania the adventure", and this one,
9:55 is a reference of "castlevania 2 : Belmont's revenge"
But still very funny😂
Just have a break down in laughter blooper reel. “ I hate Motion Control Reggie”
Wait just one second! Are you telling me that there's a indiana jones manga?
9:06 the magical land of glitches
I'm a Panamenian and I'm so sorry for the glitches in Panama
Not to be mistaken by "🎊 🎊 🦥Ra's Al Ghul Endless Hall of Boredom🦥 🎊 🎊"
Still only 3 Indiana Jones movies.
And it'll apparently remain that way, until the end of time. Seeing as how the last 2 "movies" ruined this franchise so badly, they're not even considered movies, but bad spin-offs that are non-canon. Which I'm fine with, because I haven't ever seen ANY of the Indiana Jones movies in my life.
This is why the Wii had so much shovelware: People knew the idea of motion controls (on paper) was an awesome idea, but so many games didn’t know what to do with it, felt they had to utilize it somehow, couldn’t program something so complex, or some combination of the aforementioned. On the surface, this seems like it’d be a cool idea (look at what Nintendo themselves were doing) but the best I can describe it is imagine writing your own language, and then composing a novel in that language and telling someone else to write the cliff notes for you.
Only three?
That would be true during that game's launch, but that fourth movie came later.
Er... I think it’s a ‘let’s forget that either happened’ thing
Motion controls can be good. They should be used only when they make sense, like pulling a drawer open or aiming an arrow. But there should also be an option to just press a button or move the stick. Some developers are getting it right on switch.
10:49 "I hate motion controls!" (wiimotes hiss)
One day Shane gonna get a heart attack from playing these games.
What's really funny is that three Indiana Jones games were released on Wii, specifically this game and two Lego games, and yet this game still isn't even one of the top three ways to play as Indiana Jones on Wii. Because Indie cameos in Lego Star Wars this game is bumped down to number four, heck if you count the Fate of Atlantis port this game has then it would technically be number five. Seriously there were only three runners in the race and yet this game still couldn't get a bronze medal.
Dr. Samuel Beckett: Oh boy.
Fun Fact: A2M is Behavior Interactive, the guys behind Dead by Daylight. And that game is well known as a glitchy trash fire over four years into its shelf life.
This game seems to think that it's a VR game with how many motion controls it uses.
this is pretty par for the course for wii shovel ware
Hey
i have played this game on a ps2 port!
Yet the controllers weren't great either
