The game is similar in gameplay to the console version, but has simpler graphics and different levels. It focuses on the fourth Indiana Jones movie, with elements from earlier films only appearing in mini-game format and some unlockable bonuses. The story of LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is retold in three acts of four chapters each, with comic-book-style cutscenes between levels.
The gameplay follows the usual LEGO game format: players control several characters and can switch between them at will. Different characters have different abilities which must be used in combination to overcome challenges and solve puzzles. The collecting of LEGO studs and other hidden items is a major part of the game, unlocking various bonuses like additional characters. Finding pages of Indy's journal unlocks one of 16 mini-games.
The mini-games are inspired by certain scenes from all four movies. They usually task the player to survive for a certain time or to collect a certain number of studs before dying or reaching the end of the level. Examples include tasks based on scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark , Temple of Doom , and The Last Crusade .
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is available for the PSP handheld console. It was released on November 20, 2009.
