Review Summary: Too Slow to play
Overall Score: 3/5 Overall score - 3Overall score - 3
Review: Having played the original Larry game on my mates Dad pc back in the late 80's when I was about 13. I bought this with a certain degree of curiosity to see what it could be like.

Overall the graphics are great and it is certainly very funny, however it is let down MASSIVELY by the amount of time you have to spend loading levels. This is OK for the first hour or so, but as the gameplay increases, you find yourself having to walk from one area to another with a very annoying wait between each area. Not really a falut of the developers I suppose, more to do with limitations of the PS2. Another annoying thing is the fact that the mini games are so repetitive and boring. OK to start they can be quite good fun, but after a couple of hours they become tedious, and you end up wimping out of each one.

This could have been great, but it becomes very annoying to play after a short while.
