You're saying that it's worse than MCL?
Wow.
Based on my own limited abilities and interest level in the world of MCL it's hard to conceive of anything worse. I really should have picked up on the clue when the Best Buy cashier looked at the box, at me, and gave a little Admittedly at the time though, I thought it was going to be something else....
Fool me once, yeah I'm a dunce.
Fool my twice, oh that's not very nice.

Status : Offline | I've played it for a couple of hours. It is much worse than LSL Magna Cum Laude, that I more or less enjoyed. At least it had you trying to get in the pants of a bodacious babe within five minutes of installing it.
In the two hours I played Box Office Bust, I had to run errands for some foul mouthed, unwashed (ok, i couldn't smell him, but he looked it) idiot, jumping around scaffolds and walking over tightropes, and not a hot girl in sight...
Thanks Codemasters, but that was too much like real life for me.

Hey! MCL was a perfectly acceptable game (after several beers, and naturally after applying the nudie patch).
Unfortunately, there's no replay value once the novelty wears off

MCL had it's moments, like the Summer Nights parody or the bit when Lovage plays D& with Morgan, but for the most part the game was a massive disappointment. A game that is more fun to watch than play just isn't much of a game.
