He doesn't spoil anything. Or, in fact, say anything at all.
I imagine this is because, since he was wearing his hat, he was not wearing his headset and thus could not record his voice.
You'll get his drift anyway.
I'm gonna miss the old intros and outros too: they were jokes in themselves. Oh well.

The small snippet he played probably "should" fall under fair use, but these days I think the only real right we have to music is the right to buy it again in what ever new format that's out this week.
Then again its probably rather taxing to come up with something clever to match each weeks theme, so win-win!
I say we post our own music suggestions...
Lets lead with "Gary, Indiana" from the "Music Man" (not gay)
And follow up with "The Devil in Miss Jones" by Mike Ness.

More likely it's a sight gag.

Oh, and if you've got a bug up your ass about fair-use, Cole Porter (Anything Goes, the music used to intro the indy review) died in 1964 which by even the most lax governing laws of copyright means it isnt public domain until 2014 you twit.

More evidence is needed to verify the claim in parenthesis, especially after the claim not in parenthesis.
... Cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little.

No reason it couldn't be both.
Either way I don't care that much.

Fantastic, per usual, especially in noting that the original films traumatized a young Yahtzee. Good to know I'm not alone. I dunno about the new intro and credits, though. It's a shame that the old gags in the lyrics and music are gone.

The review was so funny that I had to punch myself in the crotch five times to stop laughing and thus avoid waking up my baby brother.

Would have been happier with something more jolly as the theme music, but I've only just watched it and already it's growing on me like a powerful moss.
Liked the extra Indy review too, although I enjoyed the film, I see where he's coming from.

The review was pretty fair on the game, I think. He enjoyed it, and I'm sure it's an enjoyable game. Gotta love those name jokes.

How come no one's worried about the copyright on THAT song?
Surely at least one of Yahtzee's legions of fanboys owns an electric guitar and would be more then willing to riff for a few seconds for his hero.
As for the criticism, maybe it's a symptom of how tired I am getting of the still-brilliant ZPs, but somehow I just plain didn't like this one. Mostly because Yahtzee was, in his trademark cynical wreaking-ball fashion, mocking and inserting cartoon-but-brutal violence.... in a Lego game.
Lego games make fun of themselves already, they are BUILT around a joke. This isn't some pretentious RPG or cookie-cutter FPS, one of the samey irritants that NEED to be taken down a few notches publically in the hopes of convincing fewer people to make them. This is a Lego game. A plastic toy movie spoof. What do you WANT from it?
