Lego Indy hates snakes: Metal Gear Solid 4 drops a spot in UK - Image 1 


Even Lego Indy hates snakes. Solid Snake's success at the top of the UK software charts have proven to be short-lived, as Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures rolls over it (with a Lego boulder) and reclaims its spot in first place.

It's not surprising that MGS4 dropped down a spot: it's a PS3 exclusive, while Lego Indy is a multiplatform game (with seven platforms to its name, including the PC). And since this list takes account the numbers from all platforms, the numbers are just against Snake.

Debuting this week in the UK is Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, which enters the charts in 10th place. I expected the game to strike it higher up the charts, considering that Europe gets the Limited Edition of the game that Japan got, but then it is also a platform exclusive.

Alone in the Dark also debuted this week, but with Lego Indy and MGS4 up on the charts, the game only landed on third place. This, despite all the bad press they received after suing European websites for supposed negative reviews of the game. Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto IV dropped further down to fourth place. Here are the rest of top games in the UK for the week of June 21:
  1. Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
  2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
  3. Alone In The Dark
  4. Grand Theft Auto IV
  5. Wii Play
  6. Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games
  7. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training
  8. Race Driver: GRID
  9. Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock
  10. Crisis Core

yeah, like you said, it's pretty obvious that MGS4 isn't on the top spot. Even the best game has no chance against multiplatform shovelware.... it's sad, really...

Lego Indy SUCKS for PC!!!!

HORRIBLE!!!!

Maybe bugs and issues. Play control is horrible!

Gamestop took it back even though it was a PC game and let me get it for Wii instead. MUCH MUCH BETTER! Probably equaly better on PS3 and so forth.

Stay away from the PC version!

its a game for kids and adults alike of course it was gonna sell more and the multiplatform just sealed the deal. Just goes to show how strong MGS4 is even on a single console let alone 3....god forbid.

the UK does suck... lego indy lacks online play witch was a big factor in star wars.
other then that,i think the uk have pretty wierd taste in video games with the ecception of MGS4 (in my opinion). + lego indy was rushed anyways.

 » why does the uk suck

lego indy was released for every console nearly this gen and last. the play.com sales chart shows that most sales of this game were for the wii. in ps3 charts this game came like 7th. the wii has sold far more consoles in the uk so people buy crappy games like this. i dont know how you are tying the fact that kids buy lego indy to the uk sucking.
