>Wait, It's a Leisure Suit Larry game?
Yeah...a bit overboard on the criticism there. Both of these titles
were stunning on first release, and dramatically boosted adventure gaming as
a whole. The art is magnificent, some of the best there is. Surreal or
Magical Realism are good terms to apply t o the art and plotlines, and if
you're not suspending disbelief with a smile on your face when confronted
with talking robots and mammoths, drop it and do something else. I recall
one silly puzzle involving a musical beverage machine or somesuch ha! but
none of them were especially difficult. I recall being especially enchanted
with the animated cutscenes, which the menu allowed to view separately.
Hopefully the new game also has that option.
