At least one of the sources I checked earlier in the week did NOT say it was coming out on PS2. In addition, a quick check of a couple of online stores (like Amazon) did NOT have any PS2 versions for sale either. umrguy4205:57, 20 November 2009 (UTC)reply
Few days ago, I found that the official sites said is going come to PS2 and now I found that PS2 had removed from the official sites for the unknown reason whether is cancelled. —Preceding

There's no mention of the differing gameplay between the PSP/DS versions of the game against the PS3/Xbox360/PC version. Should a mention be made of these versions in the article, as the gameplay is vastly different between the PSP/DS versions and the mainstream versions?

PSP version totally different in content?
I was looking at the "Doom Town" level gameplay videos online that I think come from the XBox version and they're nothing like the PSP version! (Lego Batman was pretty much the same across platforms) How much of this game is different on different systems? —Preceding

Sorry for picking out this one which might be particularly dear to you in some ways. I am altogether unsure - as a rule - whether the proliferation of descriptions of individual games, their generations, variations, branchings, and versions is something that helps WP become something that helps the world become a better place, if you know what I mean. --

Your message still does not explain what you would like to change or have changed, or what exactly is your concern with this particular article, as you just speak aobut the general image without clear point you are aiming for.

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline;
(b)
reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
Thanks for the review! I've added the alt text, and hopefully improved a bit of prose. I also did some small reformatting to make the image placement more ideal. I also renamed Development and release to Leak and release, as it more accurately reflects the content of the section. Regarding concerns that prose requires an understanding of the game to comprehend and many of the transitions are weak, could you show prose that you found egregious in this regard? I'd noted myself that those who had never played Lego games may have a tough time understanding characters and such.

While I am not the reviewer of this article, I just wanted to butt in and note that the portable version of this game is individually notable and should not be a part of this article, but rather located at
Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues (handheld video game). The Nintendo DS version got
reviews from IGN, Nintendo Power and Nintendo Gamer, as well as a GamesRadar+ one unlisted on Metacritic, and should be split off before this becomes a Good Article.

Is splitting the article off based on different releases with different content commonly done? I know that it's not the case in
Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, an FA, for its mobile release, which is seemingly even more distinct than Lego Indiana Jones 2's handheld release. Although, I don't really know the notability of that release over the main.

If it's individually notable and markedly different from the console release, yes. Also, Lego Star Wars II became a featured article in 2009. A lot of FAs from that time were way more lax on standards and it's likely the mobile version should be split off too, although with only an IGN and Pocket Gamer review, I am unsure if it actually passes GNG and may need to remain merged.

I think the lead section needs to be expanded. Stuff like "In addition to the level creator, there is also a character creator, although Lego Indiana Jones 2 is not the first Lego game to include such a feature" could also be reworded. I think
Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is a good example of what the article should look like.

I've reworded the mentioned section, clarified/rewritten a couple of other sentences, and added a new sentence to the lead. By the way, I'd appreaciate to hear what you make of
Zxcvbnm's inputs regarding the hanheld's notability.

Apologies for the 2 weeks of no edits, I've returned with some rewording and a new section regarding character abilities, like is in the Lego Batman 2 article. Other than that, I don't know where there can be more parity. Looking through the information contained in that article, it seems that it's all either not applicable or poorly formatted in the Lego Batman article. Also, I'd like to ask about the status of the On Hold boxes, which do you now consider complete?

Mentioning the platforms in the first sentence is weird.
The Lego theme is already established.
"2008 game" could become "2008 video game".
Could mention the credits in there.
"The game" is used way too much, needs better sentence starters.
Could mention leak and development (if possible).
Reception section needs work. Maybe add in the platform stuff there and then talk about Metacritic and individual reviews?
"It is generally seen as inferior to the original game" is not NPOV.
Gameplay
First sentence could offer a broader overview on the game (e.g. what type of game is it, point of view), something like "Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is an action adventure game themed around Indiana Jones. The game uses a third-person perspective" instead of the Lego minifigure sentence.
Plot
I think "Synopsis" works better as a title.
Leak and release
This section really needs information on the development of the game.
References
Looks good. I found a few sources on Google Books that could also help, like Archeogaming.
Alright, I've made nearly all of these changes and cleared up some of the density of 'the game' usage. However, I'm confused what you meant by The Lego theme is aready established. What is this in reference to? I have a similar issue with Maybe add in the platform stuff there and then talk about Metacritic and individual reviews?Mebigrouxboy (

FYI, I went ahead and split off the handheld parts to a new article, and added enough sourcing it can stand on its own, as I noted before. This shouldn't really affect the current article at all, it was pretty much entirely removing content that was in a different section anyway. But, if there is anything remaining in this article that is specific to the handheld version, it should be moved over.

I'll take this one since your last review stalled. Don't want you having to wait forever to get this fully reviewed. I'll go through the article and post comments in the next day or two. -- ZooBlazertalk04:36, 12 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Thanks for taking this up! As for the questions posed, I do not believe any other RS named a ballpark for how many characters there are other than in the Youtube interview. Also, 'adventure creator' is in quotes because it's the exact phrasing and not very descriptive at that. Although, I do admit that I did use the wrong quotes unless it was correct, in which case yay me. In the case of the "IGN" source, it's really from howlongtobeat.com, but it's owned by IGN and I consider its information both valuable and, of course, not perfectly accurate to anyone's playthrough. If you think I should write that it's from howlongtobeat or nothing at all, I'm willing to do that. I'm also willing to remove the IGN Wiki source, but as far as I can tell it's only ever been edited by one IGN staff member, and archives to the relevant sources all exist.
In the case of IGN, I'd just remove their name from the sentence then. I think everything is looking good, but the reception section should still be addressed. After that I'll do spot checks and if they come back good, the article should be good to go. -- ZooBlazertalk21:32, 12 April 2023 (UTC)reply
@
Mebigrouxboy You still have a lot of "A said B" and versions of it, as well as the two instances of saying someone "noted" something. The best thing to try to do is find things that multiple reviews mention and then, for example say something like "the story was praised because..." or "New gameplay features were criticized because..." and then expand on those main points. Try to organize paragraphs to have a theme so they're talking about the same thing. -- ZooBlazertalk03:29, 13 April 2023 (UTC)reply

Looks like a direct source is needed, like a link to the website that the image is from per the message on the image's summary page.
File:Lego Indiana Jones 2 Split Screen.jpg
Looks good. Properly licensed with FUR
Infobox
Link "OS X" under publisher as it's the first mention and the unlink it under platforms
Lead
although released under the same name
The game, although a commercial success
Rewrite one of the sentences to avoid repetition of "although"
Gameplay
Are you able to find a non YouTube source for the 80 characters? Not a huge deal if not, but generally sites are preferred over YouTube videos when possible.
Maybe change "money" to "currency"
solve puzzles and defeat enemies with. - remove with
Indiana Jones can use his whip to attack enemies, tie enemies up, manipulate objects, or swing from the ceiling - I'd suggest changing it to something like "Indiana Jones can use his whip to attack or tie up enemies, manipulate objects, or swing from the ceiling"
On 23 November 2009, LucasArts revealed on Twitter that it was working on - you can pebably change it to just "On 23 November 2009, LucasArts revealed that it was working on"
using assets unlocked through progression through the game - rewrite a bit so you don't use "through" so much that close together
is an 'adventure creator' - is there a reason that adventure creator doesn't use quotation marks like the other things in the article?
At the end of the section, you mention the estimated time to beat the game according to IGN. However, the source doesn't directly link to IGN and that info. The source does include links to IGN's wiki for the game, but just like other wikis, that wouldn't be a reliable source as it can be easily changed by people.
Marketing and release
would offer 'a tongue-in-cheek take on all four cinematic adventures of pop culture's most iconic archaeologist' - like mentioned a little above, shouldn't you use regular quotation marks?
Reception
You start the first 2 paragraphs with either "on announcement" or "on release". I suggest changing the wording of one of them to not be so similar to the other.
Reception is the hardest section to write. I suggest having a look at
WP:RECEPTION. You have a lot of "A said B" or variations of it, as well as saying someone "noted" something, but noted shouldn't be used in reception sections per WP:RECEPTION.
Ref #7 - Digital Trends on YouTube - Confirms roughly 80 characters in the game around 0:59 into the video. Y
Ref #8 - GameSpot - Mentions that the currency is called studs. Y
Ref #10 - Kotaku - Mentions the addition of online co-op. Y
Ref #17 - The Guardian - Mentions the changes made for the first three movies compared to the previous game. Y
Ref #24 - Feral Interactive - Confirms the Mac version of the game was distributed by Feral Interactive in 2011. Y

Hi
Onegreatjoke (
talk), review follows: article promoted to GA on 15 April; sources used look to be reliable for the subject matter; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing in a spot check on some of the sources; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me -
