Unfunny and unplayable

While the series is known for cheap laughs and juvenile humor, this entry is just plain lazy. Voice acting is very well done and the appearance of several licensed songs on the soundtrack is a nice bonus, but the ugly character models, 90's era console graphics, and repetetive twitchy "gameplay" are pitiful. An entire game based on several tedious mini-games is bad enough, but the unresponsive (or deliberately adjusted in some cases-to create artificial difficulty spikes) controls on keyboard and mouse make almost all of them unwinnable without a gamepad. Quitting ("wimping out,") or failing often enough to get a pity round from the developers isn't fun at all. No thanks. If the makers had to put in multiple ways to skip the actual gameplay, you know it has failed. One star for audio, one for the inclusion of a smart-mouthed monkey.

The best of the series

Yes, I said it. Hear me out. Here are the 3 complaints everyone has about this game: "Mindless mini-games"- Yeah, they get repetitive. Honestly though I would take any of them rather than have to sit through another insult duel segment of some Monkey Island game. For some reason everyone loved those though. In Cum Laude, you put up with mostly tolerable mini-games that can go on longer than they should so you can great to some great writing. "It's not an adventure game!"- You do not solve infamous Sierra logic puzzles, true. I contend that this is not a bad thing. Sierra puzzle logic were what eventually killed adventure games in the first place. People wear rose colored glasses when they look back on those. "It's immature boob jokes aimed at 12 year olds!"- Okay, THIS one...seriously? What the heck serious mature games were these people playing? Because they sure as heck weren't Leisure Suit Larry games, the franchise where you distract pimps by playing porno on the TV and die of an STD if you don't wear a condom after typing "f*** hooker". This is like fans of the movie Porky's calling American Pie immature. Without the blindness of nostalgia, Cum Laude definitely has the best comedy writing of any game in the series. It is the game's primary strength and where it shines. Once you get through some repetitive, but tolerable mini-games, you get to the conversations which are the delicious meat of the game. Much like David Lynch perfectly captured the anxiety of meeting the in-laws in Erasure head, the conversation mini-game here perfectly captures the social mind field of hitting on chicks. Then there's the countless humorous monologues you get when Larry examines items; there's always another one around the corner as you explore the campus. Ruining some hippy's hacky sack game never gets old. So, it's a funny enjoyable experience once you get past the mini-games and realize that a lot of the original LSL jokes have aged as well as Ray Jay Johnson.

Waste of money and patience

Tedious, ridiculous, boring and irritating. That's the words for this game. Don't waste your time, stay away, go play something else.

Disappointing in all kinds of new ways

The only reason I bought this game is because the pack it came in was exactly one cent cheaper than just buying Love for Sail. I can't recommend this to people who liked the old Larry games as the gameplay is entirely different and of poor quality. I can't recommend this to people new to the series for the same reasons I can't recommend a bumper car for someone who just got their driver's license. The target audience for this game are people who like arcadey, repetitive minigames, but not very good ones, risque comedy that's, at best, forced and seeing a couple of cartoon boobs maybe. If you belong in that group hit me up on ebay! I have a box of rattles and keychains I've been trying to shift.

Doesn't honor the series

As mentioned by other reviewers this is not the same team that developed the other LSL games. This entire game is terrible. Simply a series of mini-games with overt sexual overtones. The mini-games are unoriginal and not challenging. A simple cash grab. Don't let this game dissuade you from trying the prior games in the series though.
