Advantages: Good controls

Disadvantages: Poor graphics, poor frame rate, long load times, too much video, poor jokes, abysmal story

Let me start by saying I am a huge Leisure Suit Larry fan and had been looking forward to this game finally coming out following the release date being put back on a few different occassions and upon finally getting my hands on the game I was hugely disappointed. Upon starting the game (following a lengthy installation process) you click to begin a new game and are met with a huge amount of "video" to sit and wade through, it was during this video that I discovered that in this game you are not actually Larry but his nephew which was a small disappointment in comparison to the poor graphics and obviously abysmal frame rate of the game. The story was poor, the jokes not upto the classic standards of previous Leisure Suit Larry games and even at £15 I felt truly ripped off by this game. Don't let the big name voice-overs fool you into thinking this game is going to be worth a shot as you will just feel let down as I did.

The game has a simple premise in which you are helping out at a film studio as your uncle Larry thinks someone is trying to sabotage him and his company from the inside. You are to investigate and find out who is at the bottom of the plot and save your uncles business. The tasks are simple in theory but you will need to jump around a lot and master the control system in order to accomplish your goals which is no easy feat as it feels like the developers did not take time to finish this game off despite the numerous delays in the release date. Poor graphics, sound quality, gameplay, long video moments and more than anything a poorly though out game leads to an utter feeling of disappointment.

All in all I would say to avoid the game at all costs.

Summary: This does not live upto the Leisure Suit Larry name and I would say to avoid this
