    This Box Office Bust is a sample of how to change what worked completely for the worse.

    This game is totally broken, it's impossible to find something good. The new gameplay is bad and the game lacks of all the stuff that people like in the previous games. Sexy jokes aren't funny and the sex itself is not so cool and funny as it should be.

    Magna Cum Laude promised young adolescent players at least some (cartoon) nudity, but Big Office Bust has nothing to offer. Larry, what have they done to you?

    Plays a bit like "Psychonauts," but lacks any and all of that game's wonderful charms. [July 2009, p.76]

    Mindless, repetitive gameplay and a truly atrocious sense of humor help Leisure Suit Larry live up to its name--it's a total bust.

    The lowest rating numbers here at IGN are reserved for games with nearly no redeeming qualities or interesting ideas, with next to nothing enjoyable to offer players, and which under no circumstances should be purchased by anyone. Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust is, without a doubt, one of those games.

    How to lose friends and make everyone hate you? Here’s a recipe “from Vivendi”: kill a good publisher, take one of its classic adventure franchises, give it to the creators of Worms, spend all money on Hollywood talent voice-overs, and hope for a profit.

    The worst offense Box Office Bust makes is giving Larry something resembling a plot other than trying to get in the pants of the opposite sex. Instead of the simplest plots devices, we get a convoluted story with weak gameplay that never truly delivers on the funny.

    It’s a crime to see how this series turned out, after a few titles with a quite good quality. This family of virtual seductive gigolos needs a reform, or maybe someone who revives the series from the ashes.

    Boring, buggy, profoundly meaningless, and utterly dreadful in every imaginable way. Not just bad - this is novelty bad. [June 2009, p.92]

    Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust is without a doubt one of the worst games in history. There isn't a single characteristic in the game that is worth spending your money on. With the buggy controls, it's the king of crap. Under any circumstances, do not buy this game.

    The latest Leisure Suit Larry adventures show the very bottom where once an excellent game could fall. Absolute trash came from the creators of Worms – simply unbelievable. [July 2009]

    This game is a shameful dismantling of an iconic (though possibly equally shameful) gaming figure. [June 2009, p.101]

    Goodnight Larry. Sleep tight and may we never see your scrawny ass again.

Getting around from place to place is an absolutelyTerrible controls, terrible writing, and terribly designed open world environment. Getting around from place to place is an absolutely dreadful chore. Quests are boring, button-mashing nonsense. The hidden bonus pickups have no value whatsoever and seem to reset whenever you load a saved game. Unfinished, broken, buggy, and utterly horrendous excrement. Avoid at all costs!!!… Full Review »

    I really don't understand why people hate this game that much.

    Yes, it is **** but it was meant to be. It was created as $hit, funded by $hit-turds, and consumed by the same biological waste. It was never meant to be the next GTA or Skyrim.

    Owning this game is just a honor itself. You don't have to play it, since the game is $hit, but you can at least put it on your shelf and ask your friends if they know about it. It's antique, you see.

    You might have noticed that I've used the word $hit alot, I guess you could call me for a $hitoholic.    … Full Review »
