Old Larry Laffer this is not, but fun in its own ways

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.
