I decided to give Box Office Bust a go because I was curious to see what they did with it. The game does use the Unreal 3 engine so the graphics aren't that bad. Too bad everything else is.

I don't get it. Are publishers that stupid? Leisure Suit Larry was about two things: sex and laughs. Magna Cum Laude at least managed both somewhat (the first more than the last) but this? It's a joke. For starters, it's indeed all foul language but none of the teasing of nudity or the promise of sex which was the whole idea behind LSL.

Heck, the typical adventure structure helped a long way as well and at least the puzzles had a function: you were actively trying to impress girls. Minigames aren't exactly as effective, are they?
