help, this is terrible... (and I've just started playing)
As a long time Leisure Suit Larry fan (from the very first) I just want to say I had high hopes for this game. I enjoyed the crude last game also, but was aware that the adventure game element was practically gone.
When I bought this game yesterday I wondered why it was at budget price. Then I put it on...
1. No music through introduction sequence, very bland scary looking animation.
2. Larry Laffer is now the head of a hollywood studio, and once again, you dont get to play him. LARRY LAFFER doesnt even have his personality anymore!!. He's gruff and cocky and doesnt even have a whiny voice. Nephew larry is slightly more akin to Larry but not by much.
3. Basic font introduces all credits for the game like no care had gone into it.
4. Larry controls like treacle and jumping off walls leaves you laughing at how virtually unplayable it is. Often the animation frames on Larry get stuck.
5. One of the many exciting MINI GAMES to start off is collect the 15 film scripts. i.e like an old 3d platform game, but if you fall off the building, you will have to start over!!! sounds great!!! Another exciting start to the game is - take the cell phone to the man in reception - wow, I'm addicted.
6. I was going to sell this game but I have to check to make sure that there is something in this game...at all. Rest In Peace Leisure Suit Larry.
Bring back Al Lowe...you're a genius.

P.S Apparently nudity is not ok (because it wont sell in certain countries) but having obscene language doesnt make it funny either. I think they forgot that.
