First of all, every boy worth his Y-chromosone has set an action figure on fire once once in his life, so seeing Lego Toht's face melt would not be that big a deal. Plus, and this is the important bit, HE'S A NAZI. THEY'RE ALL FUCKING NAZIS. THEY DESERVE A FATE WORSE THAN DISCO DANCING, AND CHILDREN NEED TO LEARN THAT FROM AN EARLY AGE. (Via Kotaku)

Do they at least blow up in little pieces in the end? And the Horror in this video isn't the dancing Nazis, it's the skank shake Marion does.

They need to go in and digitally remove all the guns too. May offend people.
Replace them with Walkie-Talkies.
Also, let's not call them Nazi's. That is offensive to some people.
We should call them... The Semitically Challenged.
Of course... we can't call them challenged either... that may offend someone.
Let's digitally replace them with flowers.
However, not picked ones as that may offend the National Flower Grower Association.

Boo to bad south park reference. I think you're all forgetting this is a kids game, made by Lego not a shot by shot action adventure video game.

I don't mind the change, mostly becouse it is a kids game. At least they didn't all turn into angels that would just be wrong.

Why are they putting scenes in from the movies? no other lego game goes back and forth it looks like garbage. at least there will be the level editor.

The thing is Lego is stout pacifists, so nobody gets to die, even if they have relaxed there's ban on guns.

Yes, pacifism was the first thing I thought of when I pulled off everybody's arm while playing Chewbacca in Lego Star Wars.
;P

I actually found this pleasantly hilarious. Although they could have made them dance, then explode into Lego pieces. That's what happens when you shoot them anyway, isn't it? I can see why they left out the face-melting, but they could have stretched for at least a head asplode.

Just like *poof* and the head is missing from the minifig. Then he can grope about wondering where it went.

Wow, that is epic FAIL. Not only did they puss out by not killing them off, they actually made them fun?
That's fucked up.

Eh, I liked it. They could have ended it by them all just falling apart, sure, but a disco dancing scene seems appropriate for this kind of a game. And it's not like they didn't all die at the end anyway.

They still died at the end; that's far more important (and him suddenly turning into a skeleton and killing everyone is in keeping with *how* they died). Keep in mind that the games do a very, *very* rough following of the movies; the dancing allows it to stay family-friendly, and also gives at least a little reason as to why they (Indy and Marion) weren't tied up at the end.
Also, total agreement that the interspersing of film clips with game footage was distracting.

You're upset because a video game has a sense of humor?
Seriously?
I'm as much for accurate representations of source material as the next guy, but this isn't exactly Modern Warfare 2 here.

You mean the game where when you shoot someone money shoots out? I still don't get that.

I never set my action figures on fire. That was what my sister's Barbie dolls were for (I only lit the old ones that were worn out from excessive play).

So, we know for certain that this is how it will play out in the game then?
I doubt the shots from the real movie will show up in the actual game, and suspect that was someone messing with the source video. They haven't incorporated real footage in ANY Lego game up to this point, so I doubt they'd screw around with a winning formula.
I seem to recall it being a bit closer to the source material in Lego Indy 1 though.

It's a kid's game, plus it's a commercial. This wasn't a gameplay demo. Most likely they're not going to splice back and forth between in-game and movie footage when you're playing. Looks like the footage was just a bid to appeal to older gamers, since the rest of the commercial will appeal to the young and the young-at-heart.

lol that was hilerious proving that disc can be a weapon as for why they left out the face melting Lego proably did not want to scare the kids who will buy the sets by showing Tats face melting even lego people melting into brick puddles or give them the idea to set their legos on fire to recreate the melting

I thought the goose-stepping Nazi legos in Indy Lego one was hilarious.

Lego has a strict policy about weapons and military always being in a fantasy context and not a historical or realistic one. The practical effect of this on the Lego Indy line is that the Nazis are somewhat obscured--there are no Nazi insignia on the minifig uniforms or vehicles, and the word "Nazi" never appears anywhere. Even in the first game, all of the Nazi minifigs are billed as "Enemies" instead: Enemy Trooper, Enemy Officer, etc.
