  • Summary: Based on the unfortunately successful book series and the feature film starring Jim Carrey, this is the tale of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire, whose parents perish in a fire. Soon after, they are sent to live with their sinister uncle, Count Olaf, in a most cavernous mansion. Great tragedy becomes greater misfortune as Olaf's despicable plans are revealed and the siblings must combine forces to prevent the Count and his henchmen from seizing their immense family fortune. Switch among the Baudelaire orphans and utilize their special skills as you journey through 15 perilous missions, from the deep catacombs beneath Olaf?s mansion to the gloomy shores of Lake Lachrymose. Collect household items with Violet, the intrepid inventor, and assemble them into cool contraptions for puzzle-solving and combat. Wield those items with Klaus, the brave intellect, to battle Olaf?s minions. And mind the tottering toddler, Sunny, as she chomps valiantly through obstacles in the orphans? path with her 4 very sharp teeth. Should you emerge victorious in your attempt to foil Count Olaf's wicked plans, rest assured your success will be temporary, as only woe awaits you in A Series of Unfortunate Events.

    Very linear, which may cut down on replayability. The look, feel and general style of the game makes for an entertaining game experience that will leave you smiling.

    f you look at Lemony as a game targeted at a younger audience, it works well as the simple gameplay and story telling is probably going to appeal to that audience.

    A faithful rendition of the books and should please young fans. The gameplay at times feels a bit too dumbed down, but is overall an excellent example of what can be done with a game designed specifically for children.

    Simply a boring, run of the mill adventure that likely would not have turned out much different if there were six months tacked onto the development time or another developer was at the helm.

    It's a strange game, definitely. It's some fun if you're a child, but not really much of a challenge, not really much replay value here. That piano level is fun though.… Expand

    It is a somewhat interesting game but way to easy and babyish.

    The game was utterly boring, stupid, actionless, and easy, and I swear the last level made me go to sleep. Don't recommend: wasted $25 of my birthday $, and now I know why it's $25. This game sux.… Expand

    This game is just awful, it took me one hour to beat this game 100% and that included collecting all the puzzle pieces. do not buy this game. the only thing they did well is tell the story of the movie and the books but overall it's not worth the money… Expand
