Although the animation isn't what you expect, Larry's return makes you laugh. It proves that adventure games aren't relics, and that something we considered funny as we were kids is still funny. The game relies on nostalgia, but adds its own flavor to the mix. [Aug 2013]
Best game series. This new generation is just so different and doesn't get the parodies or get easily offended by LITERALLY anything they interpret anyway they feel like that day. In addition, and adding further insult to prior injury injury, thanks to TikTok and partially rooted from cancel culture, they developed hive mind s clusters for same opinions just to initiate mob **** will start with one offended person and build insane momentum with more repeat copies of the first comment that attacks the OP or creater or artist or developer. Until they are destroyed and erased completely which might be a life sentence or a couple of years of that sentence the hive mind mob judge sentences or a few years of reducing of that person's fanbase, sponsors , all the career networking life they built ...reduced to shambles. Or mob hive mind rule in your favor and literally change of heart **** if you protest in a way you are publicly shamed forms of social networking and your rep 2ull be ruined anyway either called a Karen or a boomer or both and painted red . It's a witch hunt with hunters that are hunting ghosts convincing all who listen or "follow" that the ghost is actually a green faced magical broom riding criminal and proceed to dig up any and everything they can to bury them with... All just to deliver mob justice on anyone they got tired of or didn't fill their cup of **** their reason for initiating hunt. Will be something close to it gave them a witchy vibe or did not pass thier vibe check **** bruhh
Saucy dialogue with a dash of sarcasm – even 20 years on this mix manages to entertain to a degree you'll forgive the game's relatively short story and the pretty pedestrian puzzle design.
Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded does well what it has done over all these years and is filled to the brim with humor. Despite the new lick of paint, the outdated gameplay elements and the puzzle design kept Larry trapped in the eighties.
For a person who missed the era when the game was in its prime, Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded will feel like a relic creeping into the modern age and demonstrating to everyone how archaic the old times used to be.
True to the original! Could use more Easter Eggs though. I hope we see remakes of the other Leisure Suit Larry games too! That would be a major retro throwback!
Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded is yet another remake of Sierra's infamous 1987 classic, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards and it does a good job of bringing the audio and music to the 21st century, thanks to top quality voice acting and a fitting soundtrack by master composer, Austin Wintory. It's just a pity that some of the animations could've been better not to mention gameplay is a bit of a mixed bag: the game does contain some fresh new puzzles (to keep the fans on their toes) but it also has some old-fashioned grind you'll have to overcome too. If you're a fan of Leisure Suit Larry, you probably already have this game and nothing more needs to be said. If you're an adventure game fan that never really played the 1987 or 1991 versions of Leisure Suit Larry, but curious as to what they're about, I'd recommend you give this one a shot. Otherwise, you may want to reconsider checking it out as there's some worthy competition in the adventure gaming sphere nowadays. If only Al Lowe could work on a new story altogether...
A cool and impressive remake to the classic point-and-click adventure game, Leisure Suit Larry. This game is a lot of fun, especially thanks to the great work done and time spent on this quality remake.
The only drawback, in my opinion, is the exagerated use of the narrator in the game. Wherever you go, whatever you do, everytime you click the left button of the mouse, you get a long and well-acted presentation from the narrator. Why is this bad, you ask? Because the long speeches get boring and tedious and kind of hurt the gameplay. At a certain point I started cutting the narrator mid-sentence, since I wanted to move on, thus missing some important information.
All in all, despite the tedious narrator, I had fun. Definitely worth buying if you like point-and-click adventures, and especially if you've played one of the previous versions (the original from the late 80s, I think, and the point-and-click remake from the early 90s).
While the video came industry has matured with sophisticated narrative development, sense of humor, and technology, Al Lowe prods along with most of the same old gags, an almost obsessive dependance on narration (in lieu of dialog and animation), and puzzles you thought were challenging in high school. Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded is everything you'd expect from the original VGA remake in 1991, if they had access to 2008 technology, and that shouldn't be mistaken as a compliment. There is new content, to be sure, but it's not substantial enough to bear the burden of all the old material and puzzles while you trod through the game.
There's talk of a LSL2 reboot done in a similar vain. I would hope that Replay (an almost ironically apt company name) forgoes rewashing more of Sierra's old laundry and instead focuses on expanding the Larry universe with fresh stories, characters, and design philosophy.
At $19.99, I can't suggest this turkey to any adventure gamer that has grown up and acquired discriminating taste in interactive storytelling. It would have been more palatable at $5.99 as nostalgic curio for tablets or smartphones for those of us eager to relive what we have already done so, many times before.
This game is not even acceptable, is worst than mediocre. The fact that Larry is not popular anymore complicate even more the things. The true score i give this game is a 2.5, but you know, i put it the 4/10.
I found this trash very repetitive, a lot of boring and lame mini games inserted in a bad game with bad and uninspired characters. Larry franchise never was good, but this game is the worst of all the trash they were throwing to us. I feel sorry for the people to have the suffer buying this trash. The lack of ideas is very noticeable in this game, the mini games are almost the same over and over again, and the gameplay becomes incredibly boring and Larry seems like he never have sex with a woman, and looks like he never can do it. Every time when he is close to have something with a woman, something ridiculous happens. The game is bad in almost every aspect, sure make me laugh a couple of times, but finally i was laughing because i can't believe how BAD AND BORING this trash is.
SummaryLarry’s original creator, the infamous game designer Al Lowe, has teamed up with Sierra Veteran Josh Mandel, to bring this game back to life – updated and expanded in a myriad of ways. All they kept from the original game is the plot.
