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

The Good
The game does have some humor, and might be fun to play. It includes a fair amount of nudity, which might be a thing to appreciate. And, there are references to the predecessors in the game, plus you get to see Larry Laffer, mentioning some of the things you miss about his games.

Also, the alcohol and self-esteem features might have been better, but they still do alright as different types of challenges when you try to talk to different women.

The Bad
I don't even know why they made it. If you want a game about naked women, then go ahead and do it. But if you want to do a Larry game, at least try to live up to its name; after all, it will get the attention of Larry players more than anyone else. But this is how you do it? It's not even an adventure! It's an arcade game.

No more point-and-click interface. No more choice of different actions (from the icon adventure games). Instead there's only one "action" button which might be anything, from picking up, to talking, to turning on/off. You'll just have to try and see. But considering, the whole game is so simple that this is probably better, as it would've been an insult to icon adventure games otherwise.

No more choice of what you want to say. Instead, there's an arcade mini-game that decides the course of the conversations, which is not only impossible, but really really frustrating if Larry is drunk. Yes, it's arcade.

Then again, everything in this game is arcade. For everything you want to do, you have to play an arcade mini-game which requires reflexes. It's so stupid that you play these mini-games more than the actual game itself. Plus, all you do in the actual game is run around and talk and even talking is controlled by a mini-game. None of the devious thinking you did playing previous games when trying to get out of situations is required here. You just run around, play mini-games, and move along, watching whatever's happening out of your control...

The Bottom Line
I think everyone could've guessed that without Al Lowe, the game would lose its spirit. And without Laffer, it's even worse. Without the adventure elements, it's the worst thing you could expect from a Larry game. It's a mediocre arcade game, and it's a disgrace to its predecessors. You might still play and have fun though, it has a fair amount of humor, and lots of girls, but remember: You don't have the control.
