But only when you play it on the DS.
When we played on the 360, it was pretty much 45 minutes of the guy I was in charge of falling off cliffs while Travis’s guy (always Indie, which is sexist, which I hate) was off way on the right side of the screen collecting coins.
This is actually exactly how Lego Star Wars went, too.
Both titles really work better, and are way more fun, on the DS, which is about enough to make your brain explode. Yeah, the music and graphics aren’t as good as they are for the 360, but guess what? The “fun” of getting to play as Belloq is trumped by the “fun” of stupid two-player layout and constant “wait, where are you?” Maybe this is because I am not good at video games (which is a lie, I am awesome) but mostly I think it’s just cruddy design. I can’t really reference a good local multiplayer setup, because they don’t really exist, though I have high hopes for Fable 2: The Fabling.
So, in short, I highly recommend the current Lego titles for the DS, but not for the 360 (though if you do get them, you will be really excited at how much you get a week later when you trade it in, because you get like $30 back.)
