Leisure Suit Larry 2 - Looking For Love (In Several Wrong Places) Reviews

I'd recommend only if you liked the first game and don't mind the fact this game is extremely dated and can be annoying at times with how many times you can die for not doing something right. (Make sure you save very often). I liked it as it reminded me of playing it when it was released years ago when I was a kid. I would recommend using a walkthrough with this game to avoid any major frustrations.

This game is unrelenting with its determination to fuck with you. Its a borderline troll game. Most normal people would play this, quickly find this out, easily find it annoying and not recommend. I, however, am not normal, so I like this game. if you have the patience for it, this game is pretty good. its not the best larry game, far from it, but its 100% worth playing if you want to complete the series.

Fun and classic Sierra adventure game, unfortunately with punishing design so i recommend playing it with a guide and frequent saves (for example after the boat part if you didn't get certain items you're not even able to finish the game and it will be game over). I like all the various locations in this, feels more like big adventure compared to first Leisure Suit Larry and has even more that awkwardness and humor. Recommended only for fans of the genre.

It's Leisure Suit Larry. It's an old adventure game with crude humor. If you're a fan of both those things already, this will be fun! If you're not then...well you can just skip this. If you're curious about old adventure games this probably isn't the best place to start, either. But it's a good game for what it is.

First, at the gameshow I thought I would hate this game because the story seemed very silly, but as the story went on, with the KGB, the crazy mother and all that survival-stuff I really started to enjoy the game and loved its hilarious story. This game also comes with a variety of crazy ways to die. Great! What I did not like was how insanely difficult some of the puzzles were, I spend ages trying to grab the right vine just to fall in the piranha-river 10000 times over and over again.

Larry Laffer is still stepping out, determined to find true love -- and he's looking in all the wrong places -- out on his ear and cruising for rear! Conning his way onto an LA gameshow, our intrepid hero is soon aboard a complimentary ocean cruise -- which takes a turn for the worse!! Now, stranded on the tropical 'Nontoonyt Island', Larry must match wits with the mad scientist Dr. NoNookee, to rescue a tribal chief's virgin daughter! ...Will our hero succeed and live to love another day?? -- This is a ScummVM port of the original game, and incredulously includes the copyright protections -- making you frustratingly match faces to phone numbers from a 'black book' nobody has anymore. The Library>LSL2>Manual tab has the necessary documents available in PDF.

One of the worst LSL games. I tried playing this back in the day and got nowhere, and I can see why. The interface isn't programmed well enough to understand what you ARE TELLING IT TO DO. A perfect example is trying to get the swimsuit. The game says you can break your million dollar bill in the clothing shop. You go in, and try to break the bill. The clerk says she can't break the bill. You try to "get swimsuit" and it says you don't have any money... OK, consult a guide: "Walk into the shop and type "Get swimsuit." WTF. Try repeatedly. Look at guide again. Finally figure out you have to LOOK at the bill first, then you can use it. Even though everyone knows you have a million dollar bill and it is clearly in your inventory. When you KNOW what to do, and the game won't let you, it's bad. When you look at a guide, and STILL the game won't let do what the guide says to do, it's bad. Hopefully 3 is better. I didn't even mention LOOKing in the garage doesn't work. You have to go all the way to the back of the garage, then type LOOK garage, and THEN it works. That's right, you have to be standing in JUST the right place to look at things. I can't remember any point in click being that bad about finding items. Terrible.

The Leisure Suit Larry series is an enduring classic Point & Click adventure series. Leisure Suit Larry 2, however, is kind of the oddball in the series. While most LSL games focus on Larry trying to get laid or find love that sort of takes a back seat in this installment. While Larry is still technically looking for love here, this plays much more like a survival game than a typical LSL adventure game. There aren't any real puzzles you just collect inventory items and use them on other objects. Also, unlike later LSL games this one is not actually a Point & Click game (despite being tagged as such), it's actually a text parser. The graphic, while excellent for their time are very much outdated now. If you don't appreciate the older pixel art style of the late 80's, you won't like this game. It's good points are that it still carries over that same bawdy sexual style humor that Al Lowe infused in the first game. If you liked that from the first game, you'll enjoy the humor of this one as well. It does pick up directly after the first game, story-wise, but you don't have to have played the first to enjoy or understand this game. The story while not the best or more well thought out is certainly more exciting than the first, but also makes so much less sense and barely resolves plot points that seem to be huge. The negative parts involve several major issues that even Point & Click/Adventure game aficionados dislike. This includes long cut-scenes and walk scenes you cannot skip or quick-jump through. It also includes a lot of moon logic. There are so many of the situational and object interaction portions of this game that you wouldn't know about or think of as a solution unless you ended up dying. If you pay attention to the text around your death you'll start to piece together what you need to do but so many of the solutions are definitely not obvious or even logical. The constant death as a means of discovering what you need to do is also among its more negative aspects. In addition there are multiple places where you can miss picking up an object that's necessary later which means you cannot go back and get it, rather you have to load a much earlier save game. This game took me about 4-5 hours to complete without a guide. I don't know if I every played this specific LSL game before. I couldn't remember much about it so it felt like playing it for the first time. If you have played it before and remember what to do you could probably play through the game in half the time. If you struggle with this style of game it could take you twice as long. Overall, if you like other LSL games or you're playing through the series then you'll want to play this one, odd and frustrating as it may be. If you don't care about experiencing the entire series, you might want to consider skipping this one. If you choose to play it though just be prepared to save a lot and to die a lot.

This is exactly like the Amiga Commodore game I played as a kid. Yes, my parents let me play this as a kid. Hah! Wow, memory lane indeed. Anyway, yes the graphics are outdated, but they are exactly the same as they were when I played in the mid 90s. That's the point. This game was released in the late 80s. I love this game, it takes hours to figure out what to do without the book, and even still sometimes you need to refer to a walkthrough guide to 'get it'. You can find these online. It's kind of like an adventure game.. I guess.. I played this on a pretty substandard Asus laptop, through Steam, and I had no trouble at all. I had full screen when I played. When you start the game, you need to enter the phone number of the lady in the picture shown, it was their original version of a game key. You can find all the numbers listed on this page: http://larrylaffer.net/lslgames/lsl2-general/lsl2-black-book Cheers - thanks for releasing this game on Steam, it was great to re-live my childhood memories! PS: Not recommended for kids.

This is probably the most interesting and entertaining Larry-game of all time. LSL2 is more about survival and world domination than Larry's ongoing (And rather formulaic) quests for items that will please lady X. The game sports a bizarre plot with an even more bizarre protagonist, pitted against zany witch-doctors hiding on tropical islands, colourful (and continous) assasination attempts from undercover KGB agents and loads of genuinly funny sitcom-moments of confusion over who this leisure-suit-clad hero traveling the world really is. In terms of pure comedy, there has never been a better game! As for technical stuff..Graphics are way outdated. There are no voice-overs and the interface is a text-parser. This is a game of its time, and modern gamers will just have to comprimise if they want to go along for the crazy ride. The text-parser is very cumbersome though, a problem compounded by the parser-jokes, basically increasing the number of consonants you have to enter for a command to parse. I highly recommend seeking out the point-and-click version, a fanmade modification which implements a rudimentary point-and-click interface for the game.
