Not bad

If you played Larry in the past and looked at any of the trailers for this latest installment, you probably downed combat gear already. "It's ugly!" "it's modern" "it's lost it's identity". Well put those torches and pitchforks away, because WDDD is ACTUALLY not bad. It takes a while to get going and some of the jokes land flat, but the game is good for the olympian task it had to acomplish: bringin Larry in the 21st century. Yes, there are gays in the game. And tranies. And there was a brief moment initially when i thought to myself "ugh, don't". Thankfully, they didn't. And after a few hours I had no problem seeing Larry in a world where gender preference doesn't matter. It's all good. What's not so good however is the minor bugs littered around that ruined my flow. Really easy stuff to fix as well, like a dialogue line triggering the wrong voice line. Makes me wonder how much effort was put into actually testing the English version. Some of the jokes also fell as flat as a pancake; but that's to be expected on any adventure game without strong writters backing it up. Humer is subjective, after all. Perhaps it would've been better with more jokes and perhaps less reliance on referencial or pun humour. But in my oppinon the biggest problem the game has is the lack of animations. You can really see this was done on a budget (at one point, Larry has to climb something and he just 'teleports' on top of it). Situations where you'd expect more animations seem stiff and lifeless. Overall a decent reboot of LSL for the 21st century. I would say it merits something of a 7/10. Will get the next one in the series at full price, just to support the devs. But I really hope the writters stepped up their game.

Sorry Leisure Suit Larry, u used to suck

Games from the early Seirra era may have been special at the time and helped create the early adventure game genre. It wasn't really until the mid to late 90s that they were in their golden era and all the pitfalls that made adventure games suck had been overcome. Sierra unfortunately as a pioneer of the genre made a lot of mistakes or inferior games to what game after, unfair dead ends, eye splitting graphics, clunky interfaces. Ron Gilbert, in the early 90s saw what Seirra was doing and decided to do better with Monkey Island. Where as the old Seirra games have a charm of their own, they are no where near as enjoyable or easy to play as what came after. No one wants to spend 10 hours on a game only to have a stupid dead end for forgetting a fork in the first 5 minutes. This game actually captures the adult humor of the originals and actually has more sexual scenes in it than the originals. Larry was always trying to seduce women in the original and this is the same formula. Larry was always a simp, only a idiot would say else wise, and he's a simpl in this too.Those who don't find this comparable to the original have rose tinted glasses and strong bias towards the original games. There wasn't any nudity in the first game. The humor is about what you'd expect, similar to the other 7 games. This game is superior, having been released decades after Sierra's arcadic approach to adventures. The story is solid, the puzzles are solid, the graphics are well done as well as the animations, the voice over is quality. It's right up there with Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded or Leisure Suit Larry 7, the only two enjoyable games of the original bunch. It's not perfect but it's leaps and bounds ahead of what came before. I don't actually have too much to say about it. After trying ALL the games in the series, I finished and enjoyed these two and Reloaded. This is a playable game with minor technical glitches here and there. I'd replay this.

Good Fun for a Short While

I enjoyed this game a lot. The new visual style does way more justice to the original Larry than most of the sequels. Humour is funny and the puzzles enjoyable. I only got completely stumped a few times and the solutions did make sense in the end. Bit of a shame about the ending, but I guess Larry got what he deserved.

Larry is back

Taking a deeper (hihi) look on the Game: Larry is back! Well it's not Al Lowe Larry, but it's a new one and it's getting closer to the original series. There have been many changes to the graphics during the games. Some say it looks like flash, but that's not fully true. Yes, it's unique in the series but same for part 7. It is more Comic-Style but after letting it go, I really liked it. Yes, I didn't expect this kind of graphic style, but it was made good after all. The speakers are really good and the sound at all is great. I had expected more girls in the game, it was quit a bit short, but the girls were made nice and unique. The puzzles were okay. Some could have been a bit crazier. I liked the vision part close to the end. The sense of humor was very good at some parts but it was too little in others. Over all it made me smile, but, well, there could have been more self-ironic gags inside like in the other parts. There was no narrator, but that was best part in 7. So now we good the Pi-Phone instead of and it done well in some parts, but the Pi-Phone could have been more involved in others. It commented some actions, but there were many gags not told. The size of the game was okay, but I love to see some more places - but, and that's the biggest critic - less travel in between again and again. So after all it's a good revival of the series, but I would love to see more ironic comments in future parts and some more girls, too. It's a funny adventure coming close to the earlier ones and it's beating the "Reloaded" and of cause Magna Cum Laude and Box Office. I even liked it more than part 5, but there is still a big difference to the best adventures of this series, like part 7 or 3.

Really enjoyable inofficial sequel

Yes, it is not a true sequel and no, it is not made by Sierra and Al Lowe has nothing to do with it. So I was extremely sceptical when I bought this. I just finished the game recently and I was very surprised how much the game tried to stay true to the orginals while also recognizing that it will never be able to be a true successor. The devs are obviously true fans of the original and it shows. The game has so many references to the originals while at core it shows the player how time has changed. It also has so many fun details and references to the actual real world if you look carefully. There are a LOT of puzzles in the game - most of them are logical, some of them require thinking out of the box. The main problem gameplay wise is that quite early you will have several locations available and even more items in the inventory without even knowing what to do with them. Sometimes it is exhausting to figure out what to do next and there's a really good chance you will get stuck multiple times. This is the reason why I substract one star here since I enjoyed everything else in the game. I would not recommend this game if you are easily offended but nobody who ever played any of the Larry games should be easily offended. Al Lowe might not have been involved in this but I could imagine he would enjoy the game as well.
