I am an original Larry fan from WAY back (I even remember playing the original "Softporn", copied on a 5.25" floppy, no less). My brother and I would get so excited when a new Larry was coming out, and we'd spend hours (and multiple dollars on the 900 number hint line) trying to solve it and giggling at the silly, immature jokes. Great times. Then, Sierra folded ... Larry and Gabriel and Roger Wilco all seemed doomed. And then GOG happened and saved us! I was able to play the old games again, wishing for the halcyon days of the early to mid 90's. And then I log in the other day to redownload my games and find ... what is this??? A NEW LARRY GAME?!?! I dropped my $30 and loaded it up. I made it through the first few puzzles fine and it honestly took me a minute to get used to the way Larry looks, but that voice ... oh, the good ol' voice was back, and I was in. I played for 5 hours the first day, a couple next, and then finished it today after about another hour. And YES I used some hints from the walk-through I found. There is another review here that says this isn't a real Larry game. That it isn't perverted enough and that the designs of the women aren't sexy enough, and even that it isn't SEXIST enough ... Well, I hate to break it to the poor guy, but this game is every bit as sexy, perverted and silly as the last couple real entries in the series. And yes, it does try to be a little more "with the times" and not make the women bimbos, but I think it works fine. It does miss some of the ol' Al Lowe charm and humor, but I think the team who did this have done a fantastic job. And it felt awesome getting to step into that polyester suit one more time. Hopefully we get a Passionate Patti type sequel with Faith and Larry switching out as lead characters. If you like Larry you'll like this so give it a shot. you'll be glad you did.
