The 2009 game "LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues" is a different game on the Nintendo DS than it is on consoles, such as the Xbox 360. As IGN's Chris Roper explains, the DS version is set almost entirely in the fourth Indiana Jones film, "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," with limited flashbacks to the earlier three films. Because of this difference, some players may get easily confused when searching for information and experience difficulty when finding the 17 journal pages in the game. Getting all 17 journal pages is necessary to complete the game completion and to unlock mini games.

Specifically, you'll need a character with a pet monkey, a character with a crystal skull, a digger character, a scholar character and a strong character at some point on your quest to find journal pages.
