We must discover the identity of the mole ..study of the very existence depends on it! What could go wrong?

This game is awful!!
The previous Larry's were great - wry smutty humor with good game play. This game sucks! The game play is terrible, the animation is awful. I've managed to get the character stuck in a wall and between walls. You can't talk to other characters or look at objects like in the past games. I'm glad I only paid $3 - yet I still feel ripped off!!
It's NOT a bust, but there are BIG busts in it!
I had to write this review since EVERY review I found before has thus been negative or downright brutal. Take it from soneone who ACTUALLY beat the game and didn't play it for five minutes because they were pissed off and don't know what a Larry game is all about. This game is fun! Granted, there are parts where the graphics can get choppy or the controls are frustrating. But as a whole the game is worth the play. If you are a LSL fan you are doing a disservice to yourself by not playing Larry 9 (I still haven't found the missing floppies for LSL 4...lol).
The Game does start out slow. Once you get to the first dreamscape (the Western) I guarantee you will be hooked. The story line is entertaining and Loveage keeps you laughing with his one liners and off-the-wall behavior.
No this one isn't written by Al Lowe, and no you don't get to play our beloved Larry, but it's fun nonetheless. There is a lot of crude humor, women in scantily clad outfits, and tons of sexual innuendos and puns (yes buns too my fellow pervs).
The bottom line is simple, if you are a fan of LSL, you need to give this game a shot. The graphics are better than any we have seen before, but still hold that comical and cartoonish tinge to 'em. True, there is no full frontal nudity or gratuitous sex scene depicted in the cutscenes like a lot of games are heading towards, but hell that never stopped Larry fans before...we're used to not scoring right? Only in the game right? ;) I promise you though, this one has a "happy ending."
To get there though is tough, this is not an easy game; it took me over twenty hours to reach the end and there are several scenes or scenarios that you will probably have to do darn near 10+ times (maybe even closer to 20-30...lol).
But persevere and you won't be let down. You'll laugh and enjoy the ride...ahem... the whole way through. As Larry would say, "Oh yeah!"
The game also has the usual gambit of minigames/challenges incorporated inside. You won't be looking for secret tokens (YEAH BABY!) but instead have to seek out 100 Larry Awards (golden statues) hidden throughout the film studio. There are also numerous girls to try and score with and also several stunt races to complete for special awards. Even if you've beat the main missions in the game and reached the grand finale, you can still attempt to accomplish these challenges for hours of extra gameplay. Good luck fellow leisure suiters!
Be advised, I played the game on PS3 and had also tried it on the PC. For the life of me I couldn't get it to work properly on the PC with my controller. Using a keyboard was horrific and I don't recommend this at all. Go with the console version!
Buy this! If you would like to own the worst game ever.
I was always a huge fan of Leisure Suit Larry, he's absolutely hilarious and I enjoyed the not-so-hard side missions, a nice change of pace and besides who in their right mind plays Leisure Suit Larry for a challenge? LSL has been more about relaxing and getting in some laughs. WOW! Is Box Office Bust a...bust. They even put in the title warning you not to buy it. Its terrible. Horrible. Horrendous and the rest of the words you can think of that mean 'bad'. I almost want to projectile vomit as Im writing this review because Im thinking about playing it. The camera views randomly change when you need them NOT to change, when u do want them to change they wont??? Thats bassackwards. Also, the inside of every building has 1 camera view and many things obstructing your view which is SOOO irritating. The controls are stupid, its the worst layout Ive ever seen probley (in my life). Not only that but he can sprint for like...2 feet then its back to a crawl. Ive spent more time trying to get Larry to get unstuck and go where I want him than my actual progression in the game. Some how, he has turned into a superhero and can do wall jumps and stuff now which are ridiculously hard to do, the timing has to be PERFECT. Anytime you have to jump to go somewhere, prepare to do it 1000 times because once again, when you dont want him to do something...he does it...wall jumping you completely away from your target area. Ive been playing it for about an hour and a half now and its already in my stack to take to Gamestop. I am stupified that the company who made this (Funsta I guess??) is in business at all. LSL is now dead, this game has killed any chance for LSL to appear on another box in the future, play and you'll feel me. Dont buy this, its a waste of cash...seriously. If you dont want to believe me thats fine, I have already fallen victim. I HIGHLY suggest renting (if video stores even have the patience to put this miserable attempt at profit on the shelves) prior to buying.
