Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings: Video Game Preview
The game was designed primarily for use on the Wii, but will also be available on Nintendo DS and PSP as well as other formats in the future. You can currently search for Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings on both Facebook and Myspace, as well as being able to follow game developments at Twitter. Simply follow @LucasArtsGames once you have your own Twitter account.
Game releases can be almost as exciting as film releases for me. So I was pleased to see the amount of detail that is being released, some of which does include mild spoilers about the content of the game. This includes locations and game goals, so be warned. If you read the following press release quotes, it will ruin some surprises for you. In other words, spoiler alert!
The LucasArts press release says, "Set in the year 1939, Indiana Jones® and the Staff of Kings™ follows the rogue archaeologist on an all-new globe-trotting quest. Now you can step into the shoes of the legendary hero in the videogame brought to you by LucasArts! Take hold of your Wii Remote and don the hat of our famous adventurer as he sets out on a mission to find a priceless artifact hidden deep within the criminal underground of Chinatown. From San Francisco's Chinatown to the lush jungles of Panama, Indy must use his whip, fists and wits to fight through ruthless opposition as he spars with his nemesis, Magnus Völler, in a race for a relic of biblical proportions - the staff of Moses.

Post a CommentI was wondering who's the artist that drew the cover of Indiana Jones And the Staff of Kings video game cover. Thank You.
I didn't know anything about this game until this article. I love that the artifact is the staff of Moses... brings back fond memories of Raiders and Last Crusade. Awesome article... now if only I could get ahold of a Wii!
