Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues uses a third-person view and lets the player control a Lego figure in areas related to Indiana Jones movie scenes. Each movie in the franchise is contained in a "playset", with the exception of the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which is divided into three playsets. Each playset contains five story levels and a unique hub.[1] These hubs are large maps based on locations from the films that function as directories to levels, contain puzzles, purchasable characters, and are traversable by purchasable vehicles.[2] This differs from the original, which had a single hub (Barnett College) where levels could be accessed immediately. Playsets have four types of story levels: one with a boss battle against the movie's main antagonist, vehicular levels (in which the player needs to destroy vehicles using the player's own vehicle), levels where many waves of enemies need to be defeated, and general puzzle levels.[3][4] Along with the main story levels in each playset, there are additional levels to be found in the hub world. The player can play the additional levels using vehicles and characters also found in the hub world.[1][5] Vehicles available for purchase include: boats, planes, animals, and automobiles.[6] The character roster contains more than 80 characters.[7] To purchase these, the player can destroy Lego props or complete puzzles at hubs for a currency called Studs.[8]
