Huh? Beat-em-ups are fun when done well... like, of course, the old Ninja Turtles games...
The latest Indy game has decent hand-to-hand combat, but its so, so simple... it lacks much of any depth or complexity, at least in the demo.
Punch, punch, strong punch, punch, etc, etc... or use gun which kills enemies fast but of course has limited ammo.
And I doubt that Indy has special moves like Oni to make the hand-to-hand fighting cool. :)
Its NOT a bad game. It just has frusterating controls (I got REALLY tired of accidentally climing up ledges because i accidentally bumped into them, or falling off cliffs because its hard to line up straight for a jump, or having to use the keyboard for inventory...), tired platform-jumping, and decent combat that just doesn't make it fun enough to make me want to finish the demo. Oni is quite different...
