Camp Lazlo: Leaky Lake GamesPreviewed by
Andrea Steffy
Grab your friends and some snacks because it's time for Camp Lazlo 's leaky lake games. A game based on the popular animated television show, Camp Lazlo . This year Camp Kidney is determined to win the in-camp competitions. The campers anxiously await the opportunity to bring home a trophy. Follow the eccentric chronicles of a little bean scout named Lazlo who is representing the camp's final tournament against the squirrel scouts. During game play, players have the option to alternatively play 3 different characters. There's Lazlo, who is an optimistic high energy Brazilian monkey. Clam eccentric pygmy rhino, and Raj who is a wise and compulsive Indian elephant. With several events to compete in and the three main characters switching off at every event, the mini games make up majority of the game. None of which were probably supposed to be as complicated as they turned out to be. The game is difficult to navigate, or to figure out what you are doing and what the objectives are. I felt like I was running around in countless circles. If you bump into an object there is a potential to get stuck due to poor crash collision, the fact that the characters look pretty pixelated doesn't help either. When listening to the game music I felt like my ears were bleeding. |

The camp is boring and bland, but stays faithful to the show. They do mention a few specific episodes which fans of the show will love. Having the boring fetch quests wasn't a task I looked forward to or enjoyed. You can play the mini games again if you want to, however I suspect that you won't, which in turn will cause your game to not save. Add it all up and you're left with a lasting appeal ranging from very slim to none.
