    Lester The Unlikely

    Lester The Unlikely tells the story about a geek(nerd) who gets on board a ship while reading a comicbook one accidentally. The ships end up crashing and Lester swims to shore. Your job is to get off the island, sounds simple enought? Right? Well it's not going to be simple. Because Lester is afraid of everything on the island. I kid you not, the moment you start moving Lester, he start walking with a hump on his back like he's a turtle. When he runs it's with his arms in the air. When he gets near an animal he runs in fear and yells. The game is difficult as your only attacks are jumping, kicking and throwing objects at enemies and climbing up and down from ledges and cliffs. Throughout the game your solving puzzles and that's where the game gets hard. I never made it far in the game as it is very difficult to control Lester. You start off on an island and from there you go to a cave, after the cave you go to a village where you need a girl who takes an interest in Lester. Lester over time starts to get courage and begins to walk start and learn how to use weapons to defend himself. Overall that's good but why couldn't he have had this abilities at the start of the game. It would have made the game easier as Lester comes across as just nerdy. I understand the developers where trying to make a game that felt realistic but this game really throws alot at you. Terrible game back then and it would terrible if I played it.
