This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (Video Game)

The N64 version of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine is a collector's item, as there were only two ways to obtain it: either through the Lucasarts website, or by finding a pre-played copy from Blockbuster video. I'm not sure why Lucasarts and Nintendo decided to make this game exclusive, but collectors who can get their hands on a copy are in for a treat.

This is basically the Tomb Raider game the N64 never got. Developer Factor 5 took the time to go back and improve on the flawed PC original, so the end result is a game that runs in higher resolution, has crisper graphics, a cooler particle effects system, and more real-time lighting. They also fine-tuned the control scheme to the N64's strengths, (mostly) getting rid of the stiff controls from the PC version. Indy controls more like Zelda now, with an automatic lock-on that makes it easier to target enemies. He can also quick-access items using the C-camera buttons, much like Zelda.

There's still flaws however, mainly lots of bugs and glitches. I guess the testers got lazy when they realized this wouldn't see mass release, because the game tends to lock-up more frequently than console games should. The expansion pak is a must-have, as it eliminates most of these problems. Otherwise, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine is a long, meaty adventure with excellent level design and production values. A must-have even if you own the PC original, just because this cartridge is so rare.
