Product Description

Platform: PC

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! Uncle Larry turns to you, his nephew, Larry Lovage - to solve the mystery, after all, no-one would suspect a guy working in the mail room right? You must uncover the identity of the mole...the very existence of the studio depends upon it! What could possibly go wrong?

1.0 out of 5 stars Major Dissappointment..., April 16, 2009

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust (DVD-ROM)

Interesting how an advantage of a known name (Larry) was taken to produce a game that doesn't match any of the previous game series. This game is a major dissappointment, not because it is bad overally, but because it is bad AND it is a LARRY.

To sum up:

* In order to save, you will really hate this game. Perhaps they didn't believe that anyone is going to replay this game - so they didn't include an easy save feature.

* No mouse. Yes, keyboard only. And the controls are somewhat broken.

* Ugly women. Really ugly. At least, in LSL 8 (which was also not good) the women were kind of attractive. Here they are not even interesting.

* Camera constantly changes. Remember Alone in the Dark 1? Like that, only here you can't also find where you are, especially in arcade missions. And Alone in the Dark 1 was a masterpiece all right, absolutely no match with this 15+ year later one.

* No "Larry" atmosphere. Older Larry games were fun, full of nice quotes, and sexism all over the place. What do we have here ? A game with good graphics and voices all right, but nothing resembles an old Larry game.

* No nudity or sex. Is this a 17+ game ? Perhaps an 7+. It has some swearing all right, only to try to convince you that it is a Larry. Not fun at all.

Is there any chance that you will like this game? Perhaps, If you do not know until now what Larry means.

In short, If you are expecting a Larry, I am sorry. If you want to try it, go buy it, but you have been warned. As others say, this game is simply an insult to what "Leasure Suit Larry" once was. Mr Al Lowe, please come back.

If you are an original LSL fan, as I am, forget this one.
This is probably the worst game ever produced.
Horrible story line, horrible graphics, horrible control, and very boring.
It has no resemblence to the original Larry series and it's obvious that Al Lowe had nothing to do with this game.
If you would like Mario Bros with adult language then this is the game for you.
Box Office Bust is an insult to what Leisure Suit Larry once was.

I miss the old LSL! COME BACK! The last one was rather awful as well, but at least it was playable. The controls on this game are terrible and I thought this was supposed to be an adult game. I will forgoe all the cussing for a little bit of adult content!
