Being a fan of the Leisure Suit Larry games since the point and click days I decided to go out and but Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust to complete my series. Prior to Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust was Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude. Your Larry Loveage attending Walnut Log Community College where the object of the game is to help Larry earn a BA in T&A by getting on a show called swingles and collecting tokens of affection from these girls, but Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude is not the game being reviewed at this time.

In the begining of Leisure Suit Larry Box Office you play as Larry Loveage the nephew of Larry Laffer from the original games, who owns and operates a XXX studio and the object of this game is to find a mole within the studio and get lucky on the side like Magna Cum Laude (after all isn't that what College is all about? Btw he look so different since Magna Cum Laude why didnt the give us I background story between college and how he ended up in the motor home on his unle's lot?)

The Story line is okay not great. I however love the jokes they are crude and very rude but funny if your into that type of humor. The celebrity guest voices are nice such as comedian Dave Attell, comedian/radio comedian Artie Lange, actress Shannon Elizabeth, Carmen Electra and actor/comedian Tom Arnold.

I do have a few complaints and or rants about the games first of all it seemed like it was rushed because the could have thought up a better story line and I find quite a few flaws like for instance the controls just suck meaning you move the controls one one and Larry moves in the opposite direction which if your and avid game like myself and get into a game you get frustrated , swear at the tv and so on. Also the game reminds me of Prince of Persia the Sands of Time, Prince of Persia, Warrior Within and Prince of Persia and the Two Thrones doing wall jumps shimmying on ledges and sneaking around in a stealth like manner. Another complaint I have is the timed missions they give you, some or them aren't enought time to complete which again if your an avid gamer like me can be very frustrating. Another complaint I have is the fact that there are these cheats/Faqs floating out on the internet the you can easily download for the PC version its just a trainer cheat that allows you more time unlimited health but if you own an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3 they give you no help.

To sum it all up buy the game if you want to complete the Leisure Suit Larry collection but if you find the jokes offensive and hate the controls of sensative touch games then dont buy this game.

I gave this game as a Christmas gift so I don't know much about the game but I do know the player likes this series of games.

I have a friend who means well and knows what I like. Well, sort of. When my friend hooked me up with this I really have to have a serious talk with my friend.

As someone who enjoys oldskool games it's practically a given that Sierra's classic franchises are adored by me. The "Leisure Suit Larry" series, while the weakest franchise, is quite funny in its own way and even its weakest entries are still good. That is before Sierra closed down and became a brand of Vivendi-Universal.

I never played "Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude" so I can't comment on its quality. But after trying to play "Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust" it just cemented the idea that corporations should really consult the original creator (Al Lowe) before even designing (much less publishing) a game like this. I know for a fact that Al wasn't involved in the production of either of these games whatsoever. In fact he's pleased not to be associated with "Box Office Bust"

How bad is this game? It's to humorous adventure games as "Superman 64" is to 3D-action games. It is just so wrong! Have ANY of the people involved with this project ever played a "Leisure Suit Larry" game to begin with? Or did they feel that it was enough experience to just play with thems...oh, I'm NOT going to complete that!

This isn't just plain bad. It's the last handful of crap piled onto the dungheap of a once-revered franchise. Keep your hands away from this stinky mess. And have a one-to-one with your friend who thought this was a good "gift".

Its an alright game. I have herd its a game to play when you are bored. Thats exactly it. Eeverything is pritty simple so remebering things if you set it down for a month is no problem.

For the price I say get it. If you like these types of games or not. It is the perfect game to pass time here and there.
