Like Larry Laffer, it seems to desperately want to fit in. The game works hard, usually too hard, to reference earlier Larry games. The protagonist is a loser named Larry who has trouble scoring with women. The plentiful load screens show cheesy photographs of average-looking college-aged women who don't look sexy, but rather, ill-at-ease! The "F" word is repeated so often the writers must have used a macro. There's more profanity in the first scene than in all the previous Larry games combined. Much of the dialog is uninspired and trite. There are no real puzzles, no interactive dialog, no narrator, no character development, and nearly no plot. "It is not Larry 8! Even though VU calls it a "Leisure Suit Larry game," Leisure Suit Larry's only role is a cameo as the "help voiceover." It is not an adventure game. He even criticized that it was announced as a 'Leisure Suit Larry' title when Larry Laffer(the main character from the original series) himself wasn't the main character, the mini games that were in it, and the fact it wasn't an 'adventure game' like the other games of the series. According to Al Lowe, the game was nothing like the original series that he created. This is the first of the two Leisure Suit Larry games(second being Box Office Bust) that had no involvement with series creator Al Lowe.
