  • Summary: The Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust video game gives gamers an all-access pass to the glitz, glamour and gorgeous women of Tinseltown. In this 3rd person adventure game, Larry takes a summer job working on his uncle Larry’s movie lot doing odd jobs and trying to uncover a mole from anothther studio who threatens to air the studio's dirty laundry in the tabloids. Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust is a rollicking, innuendo-laden lampoon of Hollywood that features open world sand box game play that includes exploration, platforming, racing and puzzle-solving to complete missions. Additionally, the game features an all-new Directors Game that allows the player to create their very own "Larry Feature." True to form, Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust features sophomoric comedy and bombshell babes thanks to the writing talents of Allen Covert and an All-Star cast of actors and actresses, including Jay Mohr, Dave Attell, Shannon Elizabeth, Carmen Elektra, Patrick Warburton, Jeffrey Tambor, Nikki Cox, Peter Graves, Jane Lynch and Josh Keaton as the voice of Larry Loveage.

  1. This Box Office Bust is a sample of how to change what worked completely for the worse.
  2. This game is totally broken, it's impossible to find something good. The new gameplay is bad and the game lacks of all the stuff that people like in the previous games. Sexy jokes aren't funny and the sex itself is not so cool and funny as it should be.
  3. Plays a bit like "Psychonauts," but lacks any and all of that game's wonderful charms. [July 2009, p.76]

    Literary gold. I have played games for quite some time and there is not a single line that I expect from within this amazingly written game, "Well guess what! my mother was a whore! so your insult holds no meaning!" to name one of the well written gold. Expand

    This is NOT your typical Leisure Suit Larry game. No, it does not follow-up with the other games other than Larry Lovage's return as the main character. There is no nudity and sex is only implied. What there is to be found, though, is plenty of great sexual humor, fun gameplay and an interesting plot. The graphics have gotten a lot better since Magna Cum Laude, and Larry is a LOT more likable, particularly since he is voiced by Josh Keaten (MGS3, Ocelot). Lots of great voice acting talent, too. Only complaints are that the camera can get pretty wonky so it may end up killing you a few times. If you can get past that, though, a real fun play if you take it as its own game! Expand

    Better than MCL. Very funny . camera angles are a bit off. Some hard controles till you get used to them. I'd recommend getting a game controller for PC version..Hard to move around with the keyboard. Expand
  4. Terrible controls, terrible writing, and terribly designed open world environment. Getting around from place to place is an absolutely dreadful chore. Quests are boring, button-mashing nonsense. The hidden bonus pickups have no value whatsoever and seem to reset whenever you load a saved game. Unfinished, broken, buggy, and utterly horrendous excrement. Avoid at all costs!!! Expand
