Entertaining game if you like this type of humour

User Rating: 7 | Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail! PC
To be honest i'm not a big fan of the series but i like adventure games so i finished this one and i have mixed feelings about it. Larry is on a ... "love boat" and as usual he has to use his brains(?) and charm(?!?) in order to earn the sympathy of a few gorgeous looking -for video game standards-, hand - drawn women. .

Graphics - The title has nice cartoon-like graphics with good animation and a few funny videos. Not sth too impressive, but it looks good nevertheless. .

Sound - Nice music that creates a groovy atmosphere, humour that varies from excellent to irritating and interesting (...) sound effects. The voice acting is helping this game very much. .

Gameplay - Nothing ground breaking here. The usual stuff... having your inventory, using items, combining them, lots of dialogue options. There are a few things that i would like to stretch out. One has to do with the interaction interface. You can either select an action from a predetermined list of options or you can use your own simple commands through a text interface ("Cut", "Break" etc). This makes the title a bit challenging at times since you'll have to find the right "action-phrase" in a few circumstances. .

Another issue with the game is the fact that it isn't linear. According to your progress you 'll open new areas inside the boat -previously unaccessible- and after you finish a sub-chapter (earn in a competition and gain the respect of one of the beautiful ladies -or more at once (...)- ) you 'll have less areas to cause you troubles. Sometimes this non-linear approach may become a bit confusing. There are also a few mini games that add a bit variety to the gameplay ( without being sth special). However the title isn't as challenging and difficult as other games of its kind. .

Value - Not a very lengthy game. You may finish it in less than 30 hours. And after that there are a few "strange" pick - ups that you can have, a few easter eggs and for the perfectionists / masochists the classic point gaining system (1000 max points) that you can find in many Sierra's similar games. .

Final Thought - Should you buy it? The answer depends on two factors : 1. your sense of humour and 2. your age. If you are around 18 (the game is for adults), fan of the series and like this kind of humour (with many sexual innuendos) the answer is yes. Else the title isn't worth your money and your valuable time.
