Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail!

Bardzo fajna gra, teraz w końcu z polskim dubbingiem. Dla osób które utknęły na początku gry przy wpisywaniu "stłucz" - wystarczy wpisać "zbij" i gra toczy się dalej.

Larry 6 and Larry 7 are two of my top favorites. One, for the incredible voice work of Larry himself and his sarcastic and funny narrator (who sometimes banter to eachother. And 2 for the brilliant idea to make them "vacations". In Larry 6 you get to explore a relaxing hotel/spa in a beach resort. In Larry 7, you are on a cruise ship love boat. When you play a game you are taking a break from life, what better way than to go to a relaxing cruise ship as Larry, looking for ladies.

Minus jedna gwiazdka, z powodu braku wersji polskiej z fantastycznym Jerzym Stuhrem w roli głównej. Minus one star, because there is no polish version with fantastic voice actor - Jerzy Stuhr, who casts as Larry.

Love for sail isn't my favourite adventure game, but it's up there and it's betters are few and far between. Larry 7's comedy is risque, at times scatological and puerile and in no way is that a bad thing. Larry's still the largely unsympathetic sleazeball he turned into with the later games, but I don't find the game nearly as mean-spirited as the previous game. Maybe I'm just distracted by the cartoony graphics. Which are really nice, by the way. I also want to give Larry 7 big props for it's user interface. It's a perfect marriage of the intuitiveness of the point&click/verb list and the possibility of the noble text parser. This model really should've dominated adventure games instead of the LucasArts style verb coins, and the simplistic click->preset action style for stupid tiny babies. The GOG release is actually my first time playing the game with voice and I'm thoroughly surprised to genuinely enjoy, for the first time ever, the voice acting in a game I've previously played with text only. Some of the accents seem to veer from country to country, but that's not really even complain-worthy. The voice work is consistently good, with Neil Ross' narration lifting the quality to excellent. P.S. I find it a little strange that GOG gives a pdf image of the Cybersniff 2000 with the game. Maybe an update to that is in order once smellovision becomes a regular feature in home computers. Bless your GOGgy hearts for trying, I guess.

Larry 7 is a game to lean back and enjoy, after a hard day at work. It's not a very big game, but well worth your money. It's fun, it's ridiculous and relaxing. The puzzles are solvable and there are often pretty good clues. The atmosphere and music are just great.
