Offsetting the dated graphics, the sound in the game is quite good. Pistols pop, wolves howl in the distance, water splooshes and splashes, and Indy's whip, when you absolutely must use it to do something, makes a convincing crack. The music, although sorely missed in much of the game, does a lot to add to the intended mood.. When the inspiring soundtrack steps in, you know something important is going to happen and it almost makes pushing all those blocks around for twenty minutes worthwhile. The voice acting is well done, and while Doug Lee's Indiana Jones won't be mistaken for Harrison Ford's, he sounds believably heroic.
Years ago, this game could've given Tomb Raider a serious run for its money, but today it suffers from an aging engine, merely adequate graphics and crippled game play that makes the game a chore to slog through. If you're a die-hard Indy fan or don't mind an action/adventure game with little to offer in the way of either, you could do worse than Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, but if you don't think gaming should feel too much like work, dig for treasure elsewhere
