Video Game Reviews of Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
Customer Review: Hilarious romp, but not the old Larry
Summary: 3 Stars
Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude is a sequel to Larry's dos-based adventure games from the 80s. Now you play as Larry's nephew (also named Larry) and must work through a bunch of hot, single co-eds to earn the right to star on a reality dating show.
This is a hilarious game, but its obviously geared towards a certain demographic. If you're a fan of gross-out teen/college comedies like American Pie, Van Wilder and Old School, you'll dig what's here. The presentation is polished, backing strong voice-acting with great dialogue and cartoon-like characters and environments. Yes there's upper nudity, but lower nudity has been censored (if you absolutely want it all, buy the uncut PC-only version).
Where the game fails is that it's based solely around mini-games, and these get repetitive. There's only a handful of variations, from your basic "whack a mole" to the button-pressing equivalent of DDR, to one that makes you guide a sperm down the right path to hit the best dialogue choices. You have to play a series of these to win the girls over, and they just get repetitive after awhile. What happened to the good old selectable dialogue choices of old adventure games? There are also no puzzle elements to figure out, disappointing as they were a huge part of the old Larry games.
So it's three stars, but that's a very strong three stars for the overall humour and presentation. If you can get past the repetitive mini-game mashing, give this one a try.
