About

Leisure Suit Larry is one of the most iconic characters in the history of computer gaming. The game follows the life of Larry Laffer, a loveable loser who is a balding, dorky, double entendre-speaking, leisure suit-wearing ""lady’s man"". The games follow Larry as he spends much of his life trying, unsuccessfully, to seduce attractive women. The first game in the series, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, was first published in 1987 and helped build the Sierra On-Line dynasty. Featured in a score of original software titles since then (not even counting numerous anthologies, repackagings, and cameo appearances), the series’ namesake hero, Larry Laffer, is a bumbling, persistent everyman who just wants to be loved. Is that so wrong?

    Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded is a rehash of the 1987 original. While it has been updated in some ways, the interface and content are firmly rooted in the 80’s. The jokes elicit groans, navigating the world is clumsy, and the presentation feels unfinished at times. While the developer has masked some of Larry’s flaws with breath mints, what he really needs is a hot shower and a fresh change of clothes. As a franchise Leisure Suit Larry could still be relevant, but it needs a major overhaul to woo gamers in 2013.

    Ultimately, Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded is most likely to appeal to those who played and enjoyed his old games, back when they were a big deal. The remake is packed with clever dialogue, and the HD artwork looks very nice, but there's not enough new gameplay to hide the fact that the original Leisure Suit Larry game was every bit as shallow as its sexually frustrated protagonist.

    If you were hoping for a truly revamped version of the original game complete with new mechanics and a new way to play as your favorite, pint-sized loser, then you'd best keep on trucking. Reloaded does absolutely nothing new except put a flashy new veneer on an old game. Should you pony up the cash just to see a classic with a paint job? Probably not. Unless you're a die-hard fan of Larry Laffer and his exploits, then you're better off not reloading this remake at all.

    Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded is the video game equivalent of your grand-dad's Buick, pimped out with the hottest rims, rubber and chrome that money can buy: It looks great, it's rock-solid reliable and you have to crank the windows down by hand. It's not a bad way to pass some time but it's really more of a curiosity than a must-play game, a relic from a time when the thought of a video game character dropping an f-bomb was simply beyond consideration.

    Therein lies the real issue with Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded. It only really works as a pure nostalgia play, and luckily the successful Kickstarter funding clearly illustrated that there’s a multitude of loyal fans that will enjoy it. Today’s generation, however, will likely wonder just what the fuss is all about.
