Funny, from the time I loaded the Escapist main page to loading this page, fifteen coments were posted. Seven were posted during the minute of 0915 (pst) alone... God knows how many have been posted in the time I took carefully looking over these comments.
After recent reviews of games like Painkiller, GTAIV and MGS4, I wouldn't think Yahtzee would even be willing to play this game, let alone devote a review to it. But then again, he seems to revel in keeping us guessing. Way to go!

Eh, Yahtzee jumped the shark with this one ...
...
just kidding, actually I like that something new is being tried, even if minor. As with many other comments I saw in past threads I simply don't find the new videos as funny as the first ones; it has nothing to do with the quality, but rather than the style, while brilliant, is bound to get old after a while.
I hope Yahtzee will try to experiment and try new things also in the actual review, it would be a pity to let ZP became stale...
BTW, I don't think the last Indy was a complete failure, it cannot be compared with the first three movies, but was not a travesty like Phantom Menace. I went to see it with my expectations VERY low, and I was entertained. In spots. A little bit. Better than nothing I guess.

The music sections will indeed be missed but overall a nice review.
I like the way you acknowledged people such as myself who criticise series that have jumped the shark... ZP is going strong.

I thought the intro was awesome, copy music was always a nice touch and would be missed.
Though apparently as first impression (I generally watch these things twice first) I couldn't help feel lost in a rant, many times and while trying to straighten that thought out I may have missed some good jokes, I dunno maybe hit the one video that just didn't rub my tummy the right way.
Oh and liked your movie review of the Crystal Skull, I'm in total agreement there.

Nice Yahtzee, can't wait for your hear you on the GenCo podcast. Didn't really like the new opening though.
BAWWWWWW @ new intro. At first, I was like "I hope he's being ironic", but then the comment at the end made me realise he's being serious. Oh well, I suppose it's better than him risking getting sued or being forced to take the reviews down. As for the actual review, it was one of the best ones yet. Kudos to him for not recognising crystal skull as an Indiana Jones film.
Bah even though the video won't load unless i refresh my page 50 odd times its still a pretty great review. And i like the new intros though i did like the funny song choices 'cos they did get me into the Kinks and other awesome bands.
And yeah crystal skull was well summed up in a few lewd hand gestures.

I presume some music companies finally objected to you daring to advertise their songs and bands to thousands of people for free.
Good review of a fun, if limited, game.
Alone In The Dark please! Man, I think that'll be ripped to shreds. Still, it'll be entertaining dismemberment.

Delightful review, certainly less ascerbic than last week's rant (which wasn't a bad thing.)
I agree with the rabble of the masses, bring back the old intro songs.
