Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust
It looks like Leisure Suit Larry is the Jason Voorhees of the gaming world as Sierra has just announced that they will be releasing Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust later this year for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. You'll pick up the role of the original Larry's nephew as he tries to work his way through Hollywood Colin Farrell style. The folks at Sierra have already lined up some Hollywood talent like Carmen Electra, Shannon Elizabeth, Nikki Cox, and Jay Mohr. OK, talent might be a bit of an overstatement but this game isn't exactly oozing class. I'm guessing there will be at least one Holly Wood or Holly Would joke somewhere in the games.
Here are a few new images for the game which will have to tide you over until the first trailer is shown on Game Trailers TV on February 15th.

LEISURE SUIT LARRY DOES HOLLYWOOD
WITH NEW COMEDIC ADVENTURE VIDEO GAME IN 2008
Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust Features the Voice Talents of Allen Covert,
Jay Mohr, Dave Attell, Shannon Elizabeth, Carmen Electra and Many More
LOS ANGELES (January 17, 2008) – Sierra Entertainment, a division of Vivendi Games, announced today that the lovable loser, Leisure Suit Larry, is back in an all new side-splitting, pants-busting adventure game, coming to Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, PC and mobile phones this fall.
The Leisure Suit Larry® Box Office Bust video game gives gamers an all-access pass to the glitz, glamour and gorgeous women of Tinseltown. In this 3rd person adventure game, Larry takes a summer job working on his uncle Larry’s movie lot doing odd jobs and trying to uncover a mole from another studio who threatens to air the studio’s dirty laundry in the tabloids.
Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust is a rollicking, innuendo-laden lampoon of Hollywood that features open world sand box game play that includes exploration, platforming, racing and puzzle-solving to complete missions. Additionally, the game will feature an all-new Directors Game that allows the player to create their very own
“Larry Feature.”
True to form, Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust will feature sophomoric comedy and bombshell babes thanks to the writing talents of Allen Covert
(Happy Madison Productions) and an All-Star cast of actors and actresses, including
Jay Mohr (Last Comic Standing), Dave Attell (Insomniac), Shannon Elizabeth
(American Pie), Carmen Electra (Starsky and Hutch), Artie Lange (Mad TV),
Patrick Warburton (Family Guy), Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development),
Nikki Cox (Las Vegas), Peter Graves (Mission Impossible), Jane Lynch
(The 40 Year Old Virgin) and Josh Keaton (The Spectacular Spider-Man) as the voice of Larry Loveage.
“Leisure Suit Larry is an entertaining adventure that places gamers in the middle of Hollywood’s tabloid-filled mayhem to create a fun gaming experience,” said Al Simone, senior vice president of Global Marketing for Sierra Entertainment. “The collaborative efforts of Allen Covert and cast make this the most amusing and immersive
Leisure Suit Larry video game yet.”
The Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust video game is being developed by Team 17 and will be rated “M” for Mature. Vivendi Games Mobile is also making
Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust available for mobile phones throughout Europe and North America. For more information, please visit the game’s official Web site at http://www.leisuresuitlarry.com.
The teaser trailer for Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust will exclusively premiere Friday, February 15 both on-air on Spike TV's "GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley" and online at GameTrailers.com and other MTVN properties including comedycentral.com and spike.com.
