Larry Laffers final outing!

Its been a while since I last updated but I have been playing a few games the past few months, only problem is I never actually got round to finishing any of them. That was of course until I decided to pick up Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail!. "Love for Sail!" is the 7th and final (in most peoples opinion) of the traditional Larry adventure games for PC. This is the first time playing through lsl7 although I've had the game for a loooooong time and I have to say its a nice finish to the series! not quite as good as lsl 6 in my opinion but that was to be expected because i though Larry 6 was top drawer. For a Sierra adventure game its wasn't actually that hard either as I managed to finish it in 3 days resorting to a walkthrough only a handful of times as opposed to the proper old school games where a walkthrough was practically need throughout. Kings quest III anyone? Ack!

Graphically I'm divided on this game too as I can understand that the visuals and particularly the animations is miles ahead of the older games but for some reason I think I prefer the simple stylings seen in Larry 6 and even 5. Larry himself doesn't look quite as good as that portrait of him in Larry 6 which I think I consider the definitive depiction of the man himself (here's the pic if you don't know what I'm talking about).

Story wise the game is standard fare Larry for the later games in the series where you have a collection of lovely ladies and an overall goal, the overall goal is achieved by collecting a bunch of items that can only be collected by smoozing the woman. In this game you are trying to complete tasks to win a competition to spend a week with the female captain of the cruise ship you are on. As always the main draw of the game is the low brow humour and chances to see abit of cheap smut but why else would you play a Larry game. Shakespeare, this aint! :)
