It’s still a week or so before Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is released. But if the Sunday BBC movie reruns aren’t enough to satiate your anticipation, how about a few cracks of the whip, Lego style? A playable demo of the much-anticipated Lego reworking of the original adventures has just arrived, and you can download it here.

Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures covers the first three movies (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade), but with the infectious Lego spin which has proven so popular in the Lego Star Wars game series. But the new Indiana Jones version improves the engine, for more interaction with the environment and the ability to use found objects (like chairs) as weapons.

The full game is due at the beginning of June, and will feature more than 60 playable characters plus the ability to mix up body parts to create your own, in the same fashion as Lego Star Wars 2. The killer cooperative gameplay feature is also present. So start downloading your own 464MB demo now, because at least when Indie’s made of Lego, he’ll still look the same 20 more years from now – which is more than can be said for Harrison Ford.
