Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust

The king of womanizing lounge lizards is back and spending his summer working on a Hollywood movie lot.

The original Larry is now a movie mogul, but he’s got a problem…the studio across the road always seem to know what he’s making: there must be a mole in the studio!

The Larry games were once among my favorites, but now its just an empty shell of its former self.
What began as funny games, with adult humor, and some good adventuring turned into what is considered “Next Gen”. The game-play turned from a point’n'click adventure to some really bad platforming, while you get annoyed by the famous “console” mini games.
While the previous Larry, Magna Cum Laude, wasn’t a game to write home about and already had the new platforming elements, it still felt like a Larry game. This however does not.
Does this really mean the end of the now “legendary” Larry, was “Love For Sail” the last real game?
While I hope that’s not the case, I’m afraid this is just another gaming series that has been ruined by the “We need something new, change the whole essence of the game so that we can call it Next-Gen” attitude of the current gaming industrie.
