My Lemony Snicket Review

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 55 / 60

I really liked this game. :) For you guys who dont know the books its about three kids who have to figure stuff out becasue their always staying with some mean adult.

The game is a like that, you have to figure stuff out. You have to jump around and sometimes you find someone who says to you that he needs like a tommato for his recipe so then you look around see if anyone can give you tommatos. And sometimes, if you FIND the guy who has tommatos it still isnt ok cause he says -well I need a coupon before I give you my tommato!!! So yeah theres some thinking in the game too, which I like cause the orphans do a lot of figuring stuff out in the book. But theres lots of jumping and fighting with monsters (violet invents something that can throw apples at like spiders and stuff to hurt them). A few times I had to ask my mom or a friend what to do but I like to figure it out myself.

I will write again when I beat the whole game but so far really cool ,;)

What's more fun than doing errands?

I got the Lemony Snicket game for Christmas after reading the books and watching the movie. It's about 3 kids who lost there parents in a terrible fire. They are then taken to guardien after guardien because all of there guardiens either die or turn out to be evil. When I got the game I started to play it and was dissapointed with it. You have to fight enemies and do puzzles but most of all, you just run around and do errands. Now I'll tell you the number of stars for specific things in the game.

Fun ****(4 stars)
I gave this game four stars for fun because I thought it was kind of challenging. There were some parts which were confusing and I had to get help, but other than that, this game deserves 4 stars for fun.

Storyline **(2 stars)
This game didn't follow the storyline of the books or the movie very well. There were tasks which were made just to make the game long enough for the players. They weren't in either the books or the movie. Also, there were places in the game which had nothing to do with the storyline like in Uncle Monty's bckyard. In his backyard is the Montgomerey Forest which wasn't in the books at all.

Graphics ***** (5 stars)
This was probably the best thing in the game. The graphics were clear and they were also detailed. The children's (Violet, Klaus, and Sunny) clothes moved when they walked and the backgrounds were detailed. Also, when you are outside, the sky is clear and blue when it should be and dark and gloomy when it should be. As I said before, the graphics were clear and much more detailed the nother games.

Length ***(3 stars)
This game was pretty short. The only thing which made it seem long was all of the puzzles which were put into the game which made no sense whatsoever. If you got past some of the puzzles pretty quickly, then you'll see what I mean about the game being short. I finished the game in 4 days! Of course, if you are a player who doesn't finish games very fast and likes them when thy are easy, then this is a game for you. That's why I gave this game 3 stars for length.

Sound *** (3 stars)
I gave this game 3 stars for sound because it wasn't very clear and it didn't go along with the plot very well. For instance, when you are being told that your parents died the music isn't all gloomy and dark. Instead it is just like regular. The only thing good about the sound was that when you changed rooms, the music changed too. I just wish that Activision would have done a better job when choosing music for this game.

Overall *** (3 stars)
I gave this game 3 stars overall because that was what it deserved. There wasn't anything special about it and it was kind of boring. If you are thinking of getting this game, I recomend renting it first. Then, if you still like it, then I would go and buy it. Even then, you still might start not to like it so if I were you, I would make sure I would be able to return it if I didn't like it.

I love this game. I couldnt love it more if i tried!

This is one of the best games ever. You get to play as all the children and use all of them to do stuff. You mostly play as violet because she can shoot apples and invent stuff. You hve to go through the 3 books witch are filled with hard stuff witch is fun! Even if you don't read the books you fill like this game for the hard stuff and fun stuff. You meet different characters from the books and have to dodge the amimals and Count Olafs's work men you you will lose life points. I just got a sp and this is a great new game to play it also has easy contorls and you will use this game alot. I am still in the vent in Olfs's kitchen and my friend loves playing this game too! So if you are looking for some fun game choose this game!

This game is AWESOME!

This game is awesome! It has the coolest graphics and features! And I thought the books were good! Notice all the exclamation marks I'm just so excited that there is so many items about these books! The books are good but the game is the coolest game I've ever played! I still can't believe that the average for this game is only 4.5 stars it should definetely be 5 stars! THIS GAME IS THE MOST FUN GAME EVER!

Confusing

Thank you Activison for making such a wonderful product! I am a huge fan of A Series of Unfortunate Events. I have read all 11 books and plan to see the new hit movie coming out in December. I even asked my parents to get this game for me on my birthday!

OK game

I heard this game is OK. It is not neary as good as the books. I wouldnt get this game if i were you. All you do is make inventions to get away from Count Olaf. I dont even think this game has that good graphics. Read the books they are much better. I rated this game as a 3 stars because it is harible.

AWESOME GAME!

I love the books as well! I've always wished they would make a game of the series and they have! Hopefully it's not gloomy and scary like Mr. Sniket might say!

Booooooooooring

This game is very dumb. All you do is run around and do chores. Then you have to figure out what to do without much instruction. I have finished the game and am not satisfied. The game ends abruptly and you get no reward for winning. To beat the final boss, all you have to do is burn a paper. TOO EASY! This game was boring and I would not recomend it to anyone.
