Please go away if you are not at least 18 years old.
Ah, the days of classic adventure games. When a character tries to disguise himself with cat hair, or pull a rope with a mans cane. I am one of those who think it's a crying shame that most gaming companies don't think they're worth it anymore.
I had just about given up, when I heard about a new entry in the story of Leisure Suit Larry the lovable loser, who whereever he goes fails miserably in his attempts to woo the oppisite sex. I was never really a big fan of him. Oh sure, I played the games, but I mostly used online hints to pass them as I just couldn't bring myself to care enough about the puzzles to take the time to figure them out.
Anyway, when the game came out I bought a copy and let me tell you, if I wasn't a fan of classic Sierra games, I never would. Reading reviews of the game, I saw two topics reviewers complained about.
1. Load screens. Lots of them. However, I didn't let this bother me, as many games these days have annoying load screens. True there are more then most, but the game compensates by having load screens that are either humorous or are pictures of scantily clad women.
2. Classic adventure game puzzles replaced by minigames. I didn't care much about puzzles anyway. What made an adventure game for me was the story.
What really made this game good or bad for me, was one little issue. Was the humor that made the original games good back?
Answer: It is back with a VENGEANCE!
Lord this game was funny! Unbelievably funny! I swear, the situations Larry gets himself into I couldn't believe I was seeing as I watched them! I giggle uncontrolably during Larry's "Free the Monkeys" speech. I allways sing along during the "Lesbian Nights" musical number. So if your over 18 I recommend this game for some amazing laughs, and some amazing boobs.
Funny Quote
(After Larry wins a dance contest)
Uma Yasmine: I'm impressed! You actually have motor skills.
Larry Lovage: I know. Back in high school, I was the pirate in Swan Lake.
Uma Yasmine: There's no pirate in Swan Lake!
Larry Lovage: Believe me, I know that NOW!
