Those players that hate these mini-games as much as I did playing them won't have to worry.

This whole thing ends with Larry in a dating TV show dancing between two of his (your) favorite girls. The bonus objects have the role to further reduce the difficulty level of these mini-games. By finishing them, the player is awarded with "tokens of affection" and an ending cut-scene (usually depicting an intercourse between Larry and that she-character).

For him, those 17 "available" female (or not) characters will act as a portal to a series of simple mini-games. Larry's nephew, an ill-looking jerk who has no interest in studying but f**king anything that has a pair of legs and one of boobs (in CGI format, of course) will be at the disposal of any mediocre nudity appreciator.
On the other hand, the principle of the game is simple, next to dumb: there are fifteen teenage girls (at least this is what they are supposed to be), one dried woman and one transsexual, all scattered around the Walnut Log Community College's campus. Instead, Leisure Suite Larry (although, as I said earlier, there is no "leisure suit" anymore) provokes its fans to a free-roaming, open-ended gameplay. The market is already filled with fine adventure games this is probably why H.V changed the tracks and invested in an entirely different game system. Therefore, it is understandable why developers like High Voltage focus on inventing game genres rather than competing in the apprised, though crowded, sectors of the game industry. Gamers have become awfully picky, and they rarely buy anything but the #1 game of its category.
There is a consensus in the industry that it has become increasingly hard to sell a game that is not of the best quality in its genre. And this is just about all with MCL's plot. Sixteen - not so good-looking - CGI college girls will conveniently be at his disposal. Uma Yasmine, the hostess of the show won't allow Larry in the show until he will prove his seductive wits. The main character, Lovage by father, Larry by uncle is a college boy whose purpose is to get on a dating TV show called "Swingles". From what I have seen, I have learned only two things: no more polyester suits, no more foxy women. Who needs a plot? Instant action should do the trick. I wonder to whom this game addresses: to males addicted to crude humor or to kindergarten children who initiate themselves in the secrets of computer gaming? Someone certainly had a tumor in his humor. This twisted view over the original brand goes even further by replacing the original puzzles with 7- ranked "push the right button" games: like "Tapper", "Dance, Dance Revolution", "Quarters", "Slap" and some variations of these. Instead, the game is drowned in fart jokes, and profane nudity. No more stubborn, infatuated hotties, no more puns, even the exhilaration of the eagerly awaited glimpse of 2D boobies has been ripped off from the game. High Voltage Software, the developers of MCL, managed the counter-performance of destroying all that was worth it in the series.
An amusing experience overall, these were the heart of the game, and their creator was left outside the project. If there was a distinct, appealing flavor in the series, it was mainly provided by its characters, dialogues and plot. There is something terribly amiss with this game. MCL hardly resembles to what people understand by computer games. I have never seen, in my entire life, such a faulty concept. Unlike Al's creation (an innovation for its time), Magna Cum Laude is nowhere close to what is supposed to be an adventure. Needles to say that, as all good adventures, their value resided in their puzzles, interactive dialogues, narrating power, character development, and plot. However, Al Lowe's Leisure Suite Larry celebrity did not directly depend on its unorthodox themes and visuals. No one else thought about this game concept: a tasty mix of adventure gaming, explicit sexual themes and nudity under the mark "the looser scores". Leisure Suite Larry, a collection of adult adventure games (a total of six) was published by Sierra from 1987 to 1996 and told the story of a 40 years old balding dork whose only reason to live was to seduce and have sex with a variety of nubile women that could satisfy even the wildest fantasies. Magna Cum Laude is merely a sequel of the renowned series written by Al Lowe.
