Jokes Funny, Gameplay...boring

Ok I got to admit, I like a lot of the jokes in this game. I thought some of the conclusion scenes after you've hit on one of the ladies for a certain amount of time. Some of them were really perverted (which either came across really funny or not) or clean humor (like when the mob is after you).

That's all of the game I really liked, the rest of it, well, it ain't a action game. If it was a game like that then maybe I would've liked it (like the "Des Blood" or whatever in Japan which included nudity sequences with resident evil gameplay) but this game, you guide a little sperm thing into the smiley faces to say the right thing, then you play a mini-game like quarters or grabbing worthless junk to achieve some dumb task that the girl you're hitting on needs.

The graphics too, are a little corny. Why would you make it cartoonish if it's a game about nudity and going to bed with a girl. You can even unlock nude pictures. Sounds great on paper right, but it's not one of the models they show on the loading screen, it's their digitilized self. I guess it's because Sierra was worried that children might play this, but that's why we have a rating scale. I am a little surprised how much they did get away with to keep the M rating, anything worse and it could've been rated AO.

I also found the controls to be a little clunky, in the dance mini games, I would press the button right when it said, but I got it wrong, making me have to repeat the mini game, over and over.

Do you hate games that have looong loading times, this game has a ton of them. You walk into a building, loading, walk up and talk to a girl for a date, loading, walk out of the main campus to the greek quad, loading. It gets real annoying.

I haven't played the originals, but i really don't want to after playing this game. If you dig games that are just made up of mini-games that have clunky controls, then this game is perfect. The only other crowd i can think of that would like this game are perverts or people who want to have a little fun but can't get a date in real life, and even they might want to stay away from this game.

An enjoyable sexual escapade & 1 of the best games of 2004!!

"Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude" is the first LSL game in about 8 years, and also the first to cross over from the personal computer to home video game platforms on the Playstation 2 & XBox. As a fan of old Sierra games (even though I was too young to have played the early LSL games), I was incredibly pleased to see the series resurrected and brought to new heights!

Important note: "Magna Cum Laude: Uncut & Uncensored" has now been released, and it features full frontal nudity and none of the pesky "censorship bars" that are present in this version.

Obviously, nudity is the main selling point of this game. Anyone who says otherwise is trying too hard to justify his or her purchase. The college co-eds are voluptuous, they are animated in a sexy, often provocative, ways, and the main quest of the game is to get Larry laid. Because of the time and attention put into creating realistic (though cute in an almost-anime way), this game is more titilating than any of the "Dead or Alive" series of fighting games, more fun than any of the WWE wrestling video games that feature the so-called "Bra & Panties" matches, and the females are more desirable than Lara Croft ever has been.

The women are mostly stereotypical "college girls" -- we have the head cheerleader Barbara Jo Bimbo (B.J. for short), the Italian castoff from "The Sopranos" Analisa, the Russian exchange student Zanna, the hot but nerdy college professor Beatrice, and so on. Chasing after each woman requires different approaches, and the result is never the same twice. And no, Larry *does not* get with all these babes. I hate to spoil it for you, but he only has actual intercourse a few times during the entire game. But every encounter is sexy, funny, and most importantly, packed full of eye candy!

The gameplay is fun. It is not very involving and has been criticized for being mostly a string of "mini-games." That is true; however, the variety of the games keeps it interesting as you progress through the storyline. The script is absolutely hilarious, and the comedy is equal to the nudity as a selling point for this game. If you are a guy, or even a gal who likes to laugh at guys, you will laugh at Larry and the things coming out of his mouth. He rambles on a lot, gets off-topic, tries horrible pickup lines, lies constantly, and even staggers around drunk and farts. If you've ever known a man who made you laugh simply because he was, to quote Steve Martin, "a wild and crazy guy," then you will enjoy the story of Magna Cum Laude. And the voice acting is wonderful; there is not a bad actor or actress in this entire game.

Now a few words on the Mature Audiences rating: This game is about sex, breasts, drinking, jokes, and other things guys find enjoyable. For some people, this is disturbing. Those people need to get a life. I can play Grand Theft Auto, in which my character is able to walk down any street and at any moment cut off the head of a pedestrian with a sword. Or gun down dozens of policemen, only to enter a cheat code and get away with it all at the last possible minute. Yet somehow, the ESRB (game ratings board) finds Larry's girlfriends more offensive when they drop their panties. Give us a break! Violence is much more detrimental to society & to teenagers than sex is, and yet we still can't get over our fear of pixelated private parts. It's ridiculous!

All in all, I give "LSL: Magna Cum Laude" a totally positive recommendation to anyone old enough to purchase it. It is definitely one of the best games of 2004 simply because it is like nothing else on the market today: a fun, sexy romp through college life. 5 stars! 2 thumbs up! Just buy it!

disappointing for full admission price

I don't love it, I don't hate it but I don't want it. It doesn't suck but I miss the narator of old and just the old feel of the game. This game is good for a few perverted laughs but might be better getting second hand at half the price. That would be your moneys worth.

Only if you like nude 3D girls and have lots of pacience.

The mini games are very boring and repetitive, but if you are a fan of nude 3D models and funny jokes the is worth the time expent. If you want to see full frontals, buy the PAL-M version (sold in Europe) the NTSC version only shows topless girls with a stupid CENSORED bar over the lower parts. Save your tokens and don't winp out to buy the "Everybody naked" secret, wich is avaiable after you've found all the Porn Faries.

Only buy this game if you have lots of pacience and will power to see the sex (softcore) scenes in the end.

Not worth the trouble

If you are up late at night, and don't mind the difficulty in installing the software, and you want nothing more than crude humor, and don't have cable television, this is your game.

Otherwise, there are much better ways to spend your time.

More of a comment to "Mothers Against Videogame Violence"

This is more of a comment to user ID "Mothers Against Videogame Violence". Well, a few comments:

1) I wonder if "MAVV" is actually a joke, and not serious. Otherwise, I wonder if "she" is really someone who's bored and just posting little flames of any game with an "M" rating to get attention, kind of an Amazon.com review troll. ;)

2) If not, if "MAVV" is sincere, then I wonder if she, like many people who wish to censor things has even PLAYED the game, or is going by what she has HEARD about the game. I have found that many people who wish to decide morality for other people will tend to do this, will go on assumption, not reality. Otherwise, I suspect "MAVV" doesn't even own the game, or has even downloaded a demo, if one is even avaliable.

3) If "MAVV" did buy it, or at least downloaded a demo...well, you got what you asked for. The game has a prominent "M" on the box, indicating a "Mature" rating, similar to a US movie cinema's "R" rating. Most stores, at least most large retaillers like Best Buy, Wal-Mart and the sort will ask for ID before letting someone under 18 buy such. I've seen my local Wal-Mart do exactly that. If "MAVV" is both sincere and did buy the game and/or download a demo, then "MAVV" is doing sloppy job of parenting. If this game had a "T" or lower rating, then maybe I could see her point, it would be rated too low for the content. But it does not.

As an aside, I do find it interesting that so many people wish to blame a computer game or other popular forms of media. I'll ask you this, ever look up the life of William Bonney? He was shot by a sheriff at the age of 21, after excaping prison. Most of his crimes happened while he was a teenager, a good portion under the age of 18, including if I remember right killing a man who befriended him and then hired him on his ranch, multiple thefts and murders, and other various crimes including prison escapes. BTW, William Bonney is known by another name, "Billy The Kid". Please let me know what computer game, TV show, song or movie corrupted Billy The Kid to be the way he was? ;) (One hint for the VERY clueless, Billy the Kid was born about a century too early for TV, Computers, etc... :p ).

Parents raise children, not computer games. Would I give this game to a child or even young adolscent? No, but at the same time I don't expect the publisher to have to police the game for me, nor do I want the government nor any zealot like "MAVV", if "she" isn't a troll and is sincere to police what I buy for me. I will do my own policing, thank you. Do yours for you family, and don't invade my privacy by deciding for me what's moral.

Err...anyone know where I can sell a slightly used soapbox? :)

Oh, decent game, but not IMO a "real" Larry game, even if the old Sierra style adventure game is probably gone from us. Still, I would have liked to have seen that...as an aside, the new Sam & Max was cancelled early this year, I suspect they were following closer to the standard adventure game format, and unfortuntly saw it as a niche audience. It's a shame...I like a First Person Shooter, but I also miss the old Sierra style adventure games like that (and yes, I know Sam & Max was Lucasarts...I guess I'm lumping it into the same general category).

Wrong Game!!!

I ordered the Uncensored and Uncut Adults Only Version and recieved the mature version, if i wanted that i could have bought it at wal-mart. So i hope they fix that problem with me promptly, otherwise a smooth transaction!

It loaded well enough, but took a long time. I could live with that. But it would not run. Even contacting support they were unable to help. Their big solution was to run in on another machine to see if the disk were ok. Like everyone has several machines to do their game testing. Oh I could send the dick (game ) back...at my expense. JUST DON"T BUY IT!!!!

Get the PS2 Version! 12 year old gamer

I rented Leisure Suit Larry being as it takes about one week to beat while playing one hour a day. This game was a mediocre game and didn't live up to the others. On the PC version you have to download patches online via google for nudity which is the driving force for most people including myself, but there is nudity in the videos. My mom was watching over my back so I often had to go back and watch the videos when she wasn't home. But this is a fun game and can be interesting at times, but the minigames are repetitive!! How many times is it fun to toss a quearter in a cup? But I definitely wouldn't buy this game, rent it!! And Nigel (the guy you can buy the nudity from) is all over the game. A must rent!!

not as good as the previous versions
