CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Very loosely based on Lemony Snicket's bestselling series, this download is primarily a puzzle game well-aimed at math diehards. Players must figure out the location of various objects, after being given a series of clues. For example, players may be told that A is to the left from B, and C is two tiles right from D. The game has two modes, with one game simply aimed at matching objects to their tiles, and the other allowing users to swap objects between rows. The game provides a considerable number of options, and three difficulty levels. Graphics are 2D and look a bit outdated by today's standards, but are nevertheless pleasing. The "Series of Unfortunate Events" theme has virtually nothing to do with the gameplay itself; however, it has led the developers to include music that sounds well-suited to a vampire cartoon, while feeling vaguely out of place in a puzzle game. The game requires 26MB of storage space, while allowing only one hour of play, and the price is quite high for a game of this type. Still, we expect at least a small proportion of puzzle fans will enjoy this title.Publisher's description
From Oberon Media :Stop Count Olafs unmentionable horrors with fire, snake bites, leeches and other horrors in this fascinating game of logic and deductive reasoning. Too awful a game? Go play something cheerier. You've been warned. (26MB)

Version: A Series of Unfortunate Events demo
"Suitable for 2 year olds only"
Pros: The books were bad; and the movie was worse. The game? I won't comment. Definitely only a buy for the Leminy Snicket fan.
Cons: Poor gameplay and atrocious graphics combine with a bad storyline to give a game that I wouldn't recommend.

"It's fun, amusing, and I loved it!"
Pros: I like the graphics. It was easy to learn, and got harder at an appropriate rate. I also love the option of an easier version for younger children.
