Has anyone else played this yet? It's been out for a few months so I was hoping to see some feedback. But all I could find was the original thread that talked about the release.

I downloaded the 'adult' version of the game from Sierra's website for $35 -- it has some extra features and content and it's still way cheaper then the PS2 or XBox versions, which still go for $40-50.

Man, I'm loving this game so much right now. :D

Where would I even start? I've always been a big fan of the series and this one stays true to the classic adventure games of the 80's and 90's. Yes, you score points with girls through mini games instead of point and click, but there's still adventure aspects.

This game is easily the ruanchest, dirtiest, nastiest, no-holds-bared, everything is cut loose game I have EVER played. If you want a adult game, and one you can laugh your ass off, look no further.

It's like the designers and developers were given carte blanche to do whatever the hell they wanted and let their imaginations go wild. It would take me pages to describe everything I've seen in the game so far -- and I lost count of how many times I laughed my ass off.

Some of the mini games play direct homage to classic arcade games. There's a version of Pong that is quite hard as one of them. Another game is much like Tapper, where you run up and down four lines and shoot things at people moving down the line, pick up money and used items, and try to keep sane. A third game is a DDR like game where you hit buttons in sequenece.

And then there is the main conversation bar where you control a sperm moving up and down trying hit green happy faces and avoid red ones to keep your heart as full as possible, also trying to avoid drinks that make you drunk and 'close up' body parts like breasts (that zoom in on the part but also cost you points).

The graphics, voices, and music is quite good (even the classic Larry theme is heard), and you can unlock extras (like pics of REAL girls that are VERY hot) by spending secret tokens (which, uh, are shaped like dildo's. LOL )

This is easily the most tongue in cheek, nothing taken seriously, wild and dirty game I've EVER played. Would make a great party game also, I think. If you've been looking for a adult game, or have a sick sence of humor, or enjoyed previous Larry games, get this one! Personaly, as long as you have a good PC I'd download the adult version. :D

After listening to my roommates play this game for a few weeks, I was ready to blow my brains out.

You thought those "real" girls were hot? They all pretty much looked like dirty skanks. And Barbara was fat. o.O

Actually that was my biggest complaint. Those loading screens just didn't fit with the game, and half the time they didn't look remotely like the characters they were dressed up as. Really pathetic fan service for the guys if you ask me. I kinda pity anyone that would get a kick out of it.

Anyway I beat the game awhile ago. And yeah it was pretty funny or else I wouldn't have bothered. The horny monkey rocked.

I hated the rock chick. She was like a female Fonz. Just really a lame character. Morgan was cool. The nedry girl at the begining used to be my favorite until I lost all respect for her. It's was kinda mean spirited the way Larry wanted to "fix her up". And insted she was ugly. That was probably my least favorite sequanece of the game.

Oh, so the console versions have the 'naughy loading scenes' that you can buy with bonus tokens also? Well, I think most of the girls are good looking....better then the anime ones. :P

Speaking of girls.....in one of the pics of Morgan, look at the lower left corner. She's holding what looks like a joystick in her hand (which would make sence since she's a gaming nerd) and you can see what looks like a console on the bed. I believe that's a Atari Flashback.

And yeah, Morgan was my favorite -- I finished the game last night and picked her, and THEN I looked at a FAQ to see what I missed and it seems I got the best ending. ;)

But I'm also a sucker for redheads. 8-)

Yes, I heard the game was banned in Australia -- among others. :D You guys have it rough down there. :) But I think you could also download the adult version from Sierra's website as I did'nt see anything that checked for country or anything.

From what I understand, though, all the adult version adds is that it removes the Censored bars (except one -- they missed one, the scene with the monkey in Larry's room with Charlote) and extended some of the girls scenes and the endings.

I have it for Xbox. Played it once or twice. I didn't hate or love it. I had fun while I played though. I like the old LSL games better.

I got a free copy of the pre-order DVD and I thought it was hilarious. When I get some money again, I'm going to buy this game.

Yes, I know about that thread -- that was more of a review when it first came out and no one but Zach had played it. :P

Now at least I'm getting some feedback from other players since several months have passed. I was especily interested to see if anyone liked the Pong and Tapper games and if anyone can confirm that IS a Flashback I'm seeing in the pic of Morgan.
