Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is a platform video game based on the Lemony Snicket book series and the 2004 film of the same name. The game is based primarily on the 2004 film, which in turn is loosely based on the plots of the first three books from A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning (1999), The Reptile Room (1999), and The Wide Window (2000). The Windows version of the game runs on Unreal Engine 2.0, sharing much of the same underpinnings as Unreal Tournament 2003.
The game was released on November 2004 to tie in with the film, and is a separate release from the console releases, sharing the same basic plot and premise but with different levels and gameplay mechanics. While most releases of the Windows version are shipped without DRM, the German-language release came with SafeDisc v3.
Key points
- No native controller support.
- Attempting to run the game at certain higher resolutions crashes the game after the opening FMVs.
- Game can be modified using Gildor's Unreal Engine tools and the UnrealEd editor that came with the Unreal Engine 2 runtime.
