LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Sierra Entertainment, a division of Vivendi Games, announced today that the lovable loser, Leisure Suit Larry, is back in an all new side-splitting, pants-busting adventure game, coming to Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system, PC and mobile phones this fall.
The Leisure Suit Larry(R) Box Office Bust video game gives gamers an all-access pass to the glitz, glamour and gorgeous women of Tinseltown. In this 3rd person adventure game, Larry takes a summer job working on his uncle Larry's movie lot doing odd jobs and trying to uncover a mole from another studio who threatens to air the studio's dirty laundry in the tabloids.
Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust is a rollicking, innuendo-laden lampoon of Hollywood that features open world sand box game play that includes exploration, platforming, racing and puzzle-solving to complete missions. Additionally, the game will feature an all-new Directors Game that allows the player to create their very own "Larry Feature."
True to form, Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust will feature sophomoric comedy and bombshell babes thanks to the writing talents of Allen Covert (Happy Madison Productions) and an All-Star cast of actors and actresses, including Jay Mohr (Last Comic Standing), Dave Attell (Insomniac), Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie), Carmen Electra (Starsky and Hutch), Artie Lange (Mad TV), Patrick Warburton (Family Guy), Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), Nikki Cox (Las Vegas), Peter Graves (Mission Impossible), Jane Lynch (The 40 Year Old Virgin) and Josh Keaton (The Spectacular Spider-Man) as the voice of Larry Loveage.
"Leisure Suit Larry is an entertaining adventure that places gamers in the middle of Hollywood's tabloid-filled mayhem to create a fun gaming experience," said Al Simone, senior vice president of Global Marketing for Sierra Entertainment. "The collaborative efforts of Allen Covert and cast make this the most amusing and immersive Leisure Suit Larry video game yet."
The Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust video game is being developed by Team 17 and will be rated "M" for Mature. Vivendi Games Mobile is also making Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust available for mobile phones throughout Europe and North America. For more information, please visit the game's official Web site at http://www.leisuresuitlarry.com.
The teaser trailer for Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust will exclusively premiere Friday, February 15 both on-air on Spike TV's "GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley" and online at GameTrailers.com and other MTVN properties including comedycentral.com and spike.com.

Since most of the series' original audience won't buy this game anyway, why call it Leisure Suit Larry?

I enjoyed LSL MCL (nudie patch applied of course) -- but it did lack replay... I think I fired it up one time after I completed it, but that was just to watch my son's reaction to the bouncing boobies
Problem was: His soon to be wife kicked me in the butt when she caught a glance.

Status : Online | My understanding is that this game is supposed to be a little more like the original series of LSL games. However, I do agree that they should quit with the association to LSL since Al Lowe isn't working on it. It should also be noted that the developer Team17 is working on the game as opposed to High Voltage who made MCL. Team17 is the company behind my favorite non-adventure series, Worms.
Box Office Bust appears to retain the graphics style, if not the engine, of MCL. The press release calls it an adventure game, though I'm sure there will be mini-games, since it includes "includes exploration, platforming, racing and puzzle-solving..."
Anyhow, at least the name's still alive.

I liked that the teaser is an obvious reference to this

What does the nudie patch do to them? I put one in Journey to the center of the earth once and I thought is was Lame even though it was quite good.
No girl is going to stand nude talking to people she has never met before.

You should have seen my son's jaw drop the first time I encouraged him to keep playing one of the mini games... and he got to that point where... it happened and his wife kicked me in the butt for it...
I've never understood why wives have to be so sensitive about that stuff - : I mean, take em to Chip n' Dales, and they act like wild animals...
