Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude: Uncut and Uncensored!

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.

What lies beneath...

While the mechanic of "talking" with an artificial intelligence is often surprising, charming, and even a bit frightening at times, the simple fact that the game frequenty freezes, stutters, and crashes betrays any amount of wonder. Add in the minutes long initial loading time (not an exaggeration,) and the inability to change settings from within the game without crashing hard, and you have more frustration that detracts from what might have been an outstanding title. [My pc far exceeds the recommended specs.] I understand that this is based on an award-winning student project. As such, it's spectacular. The 80's aesthetic and retro-future gimmick is very well done. As a very short retail release, however, it seems both over-priced and lacks any proper support or fixes. In the end, I'll barely remember the excitment of the text parser, but will always remember that it nearly fried my computer. Disclosure: I received this title for free in a bundle with Tacoma. If I had paid any price, I would have instantly returned it for refund after the second time I had to force quit by turning off my pc.
