Anyone here try the new Leisure Suit Larry game yet. I remember the old games from years past and they were fun in a crude sort of way, and I was semi-interested in the XBox/PS2 release. All I have seen is one review on IGN stating it wasn't that good. Anybody have it yet, or at least played it.

I don't know... seeing Leisure Suit Larry and a next-gen console name in the same line hurts my brain. That game is just too far back. Let's hear for the first one, where you could die in the first 10 minutes if you screw the ho without putting on a raincoat. :)

it is funny only for the dialogues. The game as a game is lame, really. No adventure or good old time puzzles, just -easy- reflex games.

yeah, thats what ign said. but is the dialog and humor at least good, does the game flo and remain fun, or is it a chore and boring.

chore is the word i guess :)
Someone should make an auto-completion patch.

Even without Al Lowe the humor is still Larry humor (the scenario writer put a lot of efforts in it, which you could see if you visited the game homepage forums) but the game is just too bad (i was warned by the various public announcements about gameplay and Al absence anyway)

I'm downloading it right now.

I donwloaded it something like a month ago, and I finished it in around 8 hours, but I didn't bother to unlock everything (80% I think I got). I patched it to be uncensored. There are some extremely fun situations, but the mini-games are nothing special.
I'd say it's worth a download or a rental, but not a purchase.
