Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude

A little more than a quarter of a century ago, there was a publication that thrived on innuendo and outright irreverence. National Lampoon was clever, it was nasty, and it was a biting commentary on the times. The Lampoon of that time would have loved Leisure Suit Larry.

High Voltage Software, in partnership with Vivendi Universal Games, is releasing Leisure Suit Larry: Magnum Cum Laude at the end of the year for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC platforms.

In a word, this adventure is about sex. Larry Lovage is a typical college student who is given an extraordinary chance. A TV dating show gives him the opportunity to be a campus legend if he can get any girl on campus to swoon over him. What follows is a romp through scenarios that boast some rather blatant sexual references and borderline bad taste – you know, a typical Leisure Suit Larry adventure.

A mini-game may have Larry engaged in a conversation with a campus lovely. How well he does is directly affected by how well the player is doing at the bottom of the screen in the side-scrolling version of R-Type Final, although instead of using fighters and such, the game uses comical cartoon-like characters that could be mistaken for … well … sperm.  And what he is dodging is … well, better leave that alone.

As should be obvious, this game is expected to get a Mature rating.

Game features include:

·         Experience college through the eyes of America’s most lovable loser, as he attempts to score with women at college.

·         Explore 25 different locations including college campus and adjoining parts of town.

·         Recreate hilarious college moments, Larry style, from streaking across campus to frat parties to flirting with freshmen girls.

·         Develop a relationship or interact with 15 sexy female characters.

·         Create custom conversations in real time as you speak with any character in the game - be funny or fresh if you like.

·         Over 12 types of mini-games, including Quarters, Tapper, Trampoline, Whack-a-mole, and more.

·         More than 90,000 words of dialogue – all in real time.

·         Experience the funniest, sexiest gameplay that only Leisure Suit Larry games deliver.

·         Full of outrageous humor and raucous game-play based on comedies like “American Pie.”

Rewards come in the form of antics like a wet t-shirt contest, and just about every bit of collegiate sexual hi-jinks that can be imagined. This is obviously not a game that will have wide appeal.
