It has been said on numerous occasions that guys think about sex every few seconds. In the case of Larry Lovage, this little distraction has now become a life goal. At Walnut Log Community College, Larry Lovage follows in the footsteps of his famous Leisure Suit Larry series uncle Larry Laffer, as he tries to get with nearly every lady on campus in Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude (LSL:MCL)

LSL:MCL follows the misadventures of big-headed, short-stature Larry Lovage. Larry finds himself in a predicament when the hot new reality dating show Swingles comes to his college campus. Knowing that by appearing on the show, Larry will greatly increase his chances of becoming the man on campus. The problem however is that Larry is far from being the man on campus, regardless if he is on a reality show or not. To prove himself worthy of appearing on Swingles, Larry must try his best to get with a few college ladies. Hilarity ensues, because we all know that Larry has a slim chance of being with the ladies in this game.

All work and no play make Larry a lonely boy

Getting Larry in the sack with a lovely lady may seem like a huge feat to take on once you take a look at the guy, but actually talking to a girl and getting them drunk is a rather easy task. The game developer's have made getting into a girls pants a lot easier than the equivalent in reality. While talking to a girl, Larry must control a smiling sperm cell as he swims through various objects. The goal of the game is to get your heart meter full and keep it that way until the end of the conversation. To fill your heart meter, steer your little buddy through green smiley faces and green hearts. Avoid red sad faces, as they will lower your heart meter. Other foul objects placed within swimming distance include beer mugs that will get Larry drunk (but swimming into coffee mugs will sober you up a bit), thus reducing the reaction time of your swimming friend, as well as breasts, which will have Larry zoom into the twins and lose a bit on the heart meter.

Hitting bad spots doesn't just lower Larry's heart meter, but also changes the dialogue. Sometimes he'll throw in something funny and crude, but this will affect the overall outcome of the situation. All the conversation games however end on a pass/fail basis, which doesn't give the game much of a variety.

Another game that you'll encounter is the famous drinking game quarters. The first one to get so drunk they pass out loses, which could lead to Larry's advantage if he wins. To play, throw a quarter down on the table by pulling back on the mouse and then pushing forward to send the quarter into the glass at the center of the table. Make it in, and the girl takes a drink. Miss and you'll have to wait until your next turn to get alcohol in her system. This game is a bit hard in the beginning, but is quick and easy to master. The nice thing is that in the event your quarter misses the glass, the game itself will tell you your error, whether it be a small wind-up, or if you aimed to far to the right.

Other games include taking pictures of girls or rhythm games as seen in Parappa the Rappa. The games are surprisingly easy but increase slightly in difficulty as the game progresses. If you're completely uncoordinated, you'll be asked if you want the game to dumb itself down a bit, or even pay a fee to advance anyway in the result of a failure.

Hilarity and censorship ensues

The game developers were able to include some typical stereotypes within the game, including the country cowgirl, the reluctant bookworm, and the ditzy cheerleader. The developer's have been able to alter these stereotypes slightly, like making the cow girl Jewish, which really doesn't help Larry out too much.

Conversations are about the most hilarious thing in LSL:MCL. Larry will say some pretty funny things, including my favorite line, "Oh, man! You smell like herpes!" Larry will also make jokes about video games and the video game industry in general, which will have you laughing your socks off. The bad part about the humor is that it seems to come at the wrong times, with most of the witty banter taking place during the conversation games. You'll find yourself focusing more on the wiggly sperm than you will the dialogue.

The same goes for the graphics. The developers have done a superb job on visuals. Sure, the women aren't as proportional as their human counterparts, but if the video game vixens were real, you could bet to see them in Playboy. But again, most of the really great visuals take place during conversation mini games.

With a game like LSL:MCL, you'd expect to see a bunch of scenes filled to the brim with nudity. The game doesn't deliver that, unfortunately (Though the just released UNCUT AND UNCENSORED version does, available from the VUGames store). Most of the time, all you'll get to see is some breasts or a bum, but rarely are there scenes with full nudity. When there are, censorship signs cover everything. The game fails to show anything that gamers would like to see in the means of a sexual situation, even though the same situations are freely introduced in dialogue.

With a game like this, no other song's would better fit the persona then Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" and Motley Crew's "Girls, Girls, Girls" which are just a few of the song's in the game soundtrack. Music is rather droned down a bit within the game itself, and is sometimes hard to hear. Sound effects are superb, with fart noises raining supreme. Each character voice is unique and fits perfectly with each personality, giving the opportunity for gamers to actually get to know these people, whether or not Larry does.

Overall, the game is impressive, with humor that is hard to find anywhere else. The situations Larry gets into make me look forward to college life and wish for a few more years of adolescence. The gameplay is seriously lacking, and feels that much of the game is wasted where it should be given credit for being as great as it is. This is a must buy, because the humor alone is well worth it. You'll definitely need a new pair of pants after laughing during this one.
