Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded.

 I just finished LSL Reloaded for the first time. Though I have played the original a few times so I mostly remembered what to do and the game took about 5 hours.

This game was funded by a kickstarter program and was created by the original series creator Al Lowe. I bought this game the moment I saw it for sale on GOG.com. I hope that Al decides to make Larry 8 after this.

Reloaded follows the same story, you chase after the same girls and the puzzles are the same. It even has an updated age check, but this time the game is fully voice acted and the narrator from LSL 7 is back to keep Larry Company. The graphics look really good as well. They are sharp and colourful and make each area look amazing.

This game doesn't have any nudity in it unless you know the secret at the very end of the game. LSL 7 had nudity in backgrounds and with and without the finding of easter eggs. This one has suggestive screens but no nudity.

The humour is in tact and makes for a very fun 5 hour adventure game. The social references have been updated for todays times as opposed to keeping it grounded in the 80's

Larry comes to the city of Lost Wages to find true love. He meets a handful of women who he wants to get with but for Larry it's never that simple. He has to do favours for these women which means solving puzzles to get them what they want, so that he can get what he wants.

Most of the time even when he does these tasks he gets screwed over in the end. (no pun intended)
Unlike Larry 7, you can die in this game. Walk into the wrong dark alley and a shady thug will come and beat you to death. No matter how you die though the game puts you back to where you were right before you died so death doesn't have much of a penalty at all.

The puzzles in the game aren't that hard to figure out though you will do lots of travelling back and forth with the taxi, so make sure you win some money in the slot machines before heading out as you need to pay the taxi driver before you leave the cab or he will beat you to death.

If you are a long time fan of the series, then this is definitely worth buying and playing, and if you haven't played a Larry game before then this is a good start. You will have fun either way if you have the patience for point and click adventure games.

Come on Al Lowe, make Larry 8!
