I totally forgot to mention one of the greatest gameplay mechanics : The fact that the enemies can make you drop your weapons, picked up (stole them) and used them against you (and even keep it for them). One of the most unique gameplay feature that I've never seen in another game
They did and realised the controls were rough and the platforming competed against the camera often. But still a great game as I’m sure circle of life will be.
Man, 6th gen is where stuff like this truly was something special. Granted, not everything was gold, but Star Wars, LoTR, Indy, and more franchises all had these heartfelt tie-ins and/or expansions to their series and they make me happy to have been around for them.
The thing I did like about the combat was how Indy fights down and dirty just like the movies. They really nailed his style. Also I loved how the whip can be used to keep enemies off yourself, pull them towards you or disarm their weapons. Funny there’s even a “pick up fedora” control for when it falls off.
It's great seeing you review this classic 6th gen gem! The game gets tougher than a cheap steak deeper into it! The game is well thought out, yet fun & challenging, a favorite of mine!
This one is on my holy grail list already. its *not* so expensive its impossible to get. just a bit tight for my current budget it being christmas and all but i would love to play this when i get a chance.
as a developer, it irks me greatly that the '+' symbol in your health bar is EVER so slightly (pixel or two left and down) off centre. That would flare my OCD BAD!
Oh the nostalgia.. I vividly remember the game having a section in which a huge alligator blocks your path and you need to navigate around it. Masterful game.
Great review of a good game, only thing I genuinely hate about it was the lack of checkpoints/manual save. That and some of the controls can be frustrsting along with sometimes not grabbing on to a ledge etc unless you are jumping pixel perfect which is inconsistent af!
I am loving this game, I gotta say this and it might sound sad but this game is a way better 5th installment in the Indiana Jones series then that damn 5th film lolo
Wow it's crazy I was just thinking about your channel and this game a few hours ago : That was such a surprise when I saw it uploaded :) There was another 3D indy game released on PC in 1999 which had the exact same gameplay as the tomb raider from the ps1 era. Emperor's tomb was made by the collective who made the star wars episode 3 revenge of the sith official game. And btw, there is the tragedy that their next indy game was cancelled : It would have been the 3 indy movies into one game (like the lego trilogy) but with the emperor's tomb gameplay improved :( Speaking of gameplay, I don't know if you missed that but you could do a lot of combos with only these 2 attack buttons (grapping, counters, etc ...) which is more advanced than it looked like (you could see some of them in the manual) and the ennemies are way more responding, quick and effective with the combats in hard mode. Also, I know I probably suggest these licenced games a long time ago into another video but I'm not 100% sure and these are the ones I'm the most looking forward and excited to see a "Camp xbox" review about ;) - Enter the matrix (2003) : an ambitious game that is more than just a tie-in but an integral cross-media part of the matrix lore that matters. It takes places after the animatrix and before and during the events of matrix 2 reloaded with secondary characters which they filmed scenes with the real actors just for the game (the 2 playable characters have differents levels sometimes) - The matrix path of neo (2005) : Where you play as Neo during the 3 matrix movies with an impressive amounts of movements for a 6th gen of consoles and ragdoll physics (bit of advice : try to learn the combos, there are a lot ^^) - star wars battlefront 1 & 2 - the lord of the rings the two towers and the return of the king (which have a smilar gameplay than star wars revenge of the sith from the collective) And if you want 2 others games with the same hack'n slash gameplay than these lord of the rings games you can have : "King Arthur" from 2004 (the tie-in movie game) and "forgotten realms : Demon stone" Sorry for the long expositions and can't wait for your next reviews, I really apreciate them :)
@@campxbox Alright ;) There aren't a lot of footage about this cancel project but if you search "Indiana Jones - Stunning Footage of Cancelled 2005 Video Game Based On Films ~ Emperor's Tomb Sequel" on youtube you'll find a little bit
@@campxbox I'm sorry to let you this comment here but there is a bug with youtube and I can't post it on your "State of emergency" review or any video so I'll post here so you can read it ;) : Back in the day when Rockstar used to release games other than gta or red dead. Or rather should I say back when Rockstar used to release games period :) Btw, I would like to suggest you a fps licenced game : "Die hard Vendetta" which was in a way die hard 4 before the real die hard 4 (live free or die hard) was released in 2007. And is not canon anymore because funny enough both of them focus on John's daughter but she becomes a police officer in the game die hard vendetta and she's not in die hard 4 (2007)
I've spent an unspeakable amount of time playing this game. I've had it since I was a kid, and it still holds up. The only game I've probably spent as much time on is The Last of Us. I've played both games at least 20 times, but I know for sure that I've played TLOU almost thirty times.
I had this for the PC but never ended up beating it. It was a huge step up from The Infernal Machine which, from what I remember, had some clunky platforming.
Indiana Jones and the emperor's tomb game Xbox and PC is my favorite Indiana Jones game Indiana Jones and the infernal machine game PC is number two my favorite Indiana Jones game Indiana Jones and fate of the atlantis game PC is number three my favorite Indiana Jones game 🤠👍🏻✨
If you played buffy the vampire slayer you'll soon realize the combat mechanic is same as similar to indiana jones and the emperor's tomb. this two games are amazing in their own way from the OG xbox 😎🎮
I have to add to this: Yes it is Backwards Compatibility but not to Purchase Digitally anymore sadly. So if u wanna play it, use the Disc or if you already have purchased it before, you can still play it!! :) - This is my Favorite Indy Game EVER!! With Fate of Atlantis! The Collective Shows how you are doing a Great game with a Movie Background. I'm playing a bit Star Wars 3 Revenge of the Sith via Backwards Compatibility from them which is so far great too :) And between: This Game is a "bit connected" to the Movies. If u saw the Ending, you will notice the refference to Indy 2 a bit ;)
Probably the worst thing they did on Xbox was the Da Vinci Code and even it wasn’t bad if you liked codes and puzzles. Shame they removed this from the store though, I didn’t know that.
@@DrGamelove I don't know much about them so far I only know Indy and Star Wars. Maybe @campxbox will tell us about this in the Future. And yes it is a Shame that they removed it.. if u wanna still buy it digitally i recommend GOG :)
well i still have that game with me It's actually playable on the Xbox One. just so you know and here is a real kicker when you discover in the end scene with Nurhachi and don't forget Lao Che remember that name... leading to the opening of the temple of Doom so this is canon in the Indyverse serving as the prequel for the Indiana Jones Franchise.
@@damagecase3271 well to be honest like I said I have the game with me it was back in 2003 I had that game so I kept the game with meit was originally my brothers game so I claimed it myself and able to put it on my xbox 1and able to download when still got it
