Old Larry Laffer this is not, but fun in its own ways, Mar 6, 2023 The title of this game is "Leisure Suit Larry: Magnum Cum Laude, Uncut & Uncensored." This is almost identical to the "Leisure Suit Larry: Magnum Cum Laude" game, except that this is more like an NC-17 version, with T&A; bared for geeks like us to enjoy late at night.
Our hero Larry is Larry Lovage, nephew of the famous loser from the late 80's, Larry Laffer. The original creator of the LSL series, Al Lowe, was unfortunately not involved in the development of this game at all, so what we have is not the old, very enjoyable adventure game, but more like a puzzle game with silly mini-games that you win in order to see things.
Apparently some people felt hugely let down by this change. I would have preferred the old LSL style myself, but find this game quite tolerable, actually, make that enjoyable. The 3D girls are gorgeous, and the humor not bad at all, and the mini-games are pretty fun to play and easy to beat. The gameplay is pretty much linear but, because the games are not impossible like true puzzle games like Myst, or even the old LSL series which involved a lot of running around, backtracking and digging and searching, the entire experience is on the lighter side. This game won't win any award, but it's easy to play so in the end is still an enjoyable game, esp. for geeks like us late at night.
Oh, I see that Amazon has raised the price on the game since I bought it. If you can find it for under 30 bucks, and you enjoy computer-generated 3D T&A;, you should give this a try. Of course, defintely go for this U&U; version, not the other one.

Adventure game? No, arcade game, Feb 24, 2023 As an old LSL an sierra in general fan... this game is a bomb. They re-wrote the meaning of adventure game. You'll have more fun with frogger.

If you like the old LSL games, keep away from this., Feb 1, 2023 If you're just interested in seeing a bit of pixelated T&A; and playing lots of arcade-like games ad-nauseum, then this is the game for you.
If you fondly remember all the old Al Lowe LSL games, and are looking to revisit some of their wit and challenge, then stay far away.
Unlike the old AL Lowe games, all that's required to bed these pixelated babes (or quite often barely miss bedding them), is skill at a few different arcade-like games. There's not a lot of variety in these games, and they quickly become irritatingly repetitive.
Basically, there's no thought required to play the game at all. The "Little Black Book" tells you exactly where to meet each babe. All you have to do, is show up at that location, wear the right clothes, play the arcade-like game, and watch the cutscenes of Larry scoring or not quite scoring.
So far, I've not even had to search a single trash can. What kind of Al Lowe or LSL game is that???
Also, one other very irritating thing about the game is the fact that while you're playing these tedious arcade games, you often miss out on what little humor is available in the game.
One of the most frequent arcade type games, is one where you have to navigate a sperm through a minefield of conversation topics (this is how you converse with the babes in the game).
Unfortunatly, I often find myself trying so hard to navigate the minefield succesfully, that I miss out on the actual conversation that is going on at the same time.
The one up side to the game, is the abundance of pixelated (and sometimes real (during some of the load screens)) babes throughout the game.
So basically, there's lots of eye candy, but absolutely no intelligent game play.
If you're looking for a fun LSL game; with lots of humor, challenge and fun, scrape up an old copy of LSL7: Love for Sail.
If you just want pixelated nudity and boredom, buy this game.

This is not your old Leisure Suit Larry, Jan 19, 2023 One of the first games I played on my PC was Leisure Suit Larry I (and then II and III). These were played with the keyboard, and you had to type in commands.
This latest incarnation has very little in common with the originals. Whereas the originals had some clever humour and puzzles, the new one is more of a mashing the buttons / get your timing down type of game. You will be chasing gold coins down for the most part.
There just isn't enough to this game. The puzzles are very repetitive, and the control leaves a lot to be desired. Stay away from this one, unless you have a need to own every LSL title.

Horrid Game, Jan 17, 2023 The originals were so much more fun. I wish they'd get Al Lowe back. The mini games are super annoying and movement within the game is very difficult for someone not experienced with keyboard movement. After an hour or so of not enjoying the game I shelved it.
