Codemasters Picks Up Latest Leisure Suit Larry

by Chris Faylor, Feb 23, 2009 9:21am PST

Codemasters has signed on to publish Team17's Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust (PC, PS3, X360), according to a listing on its official site noticed by Big Download.

The adventure title was one of the many left without a publisher following last year's Activision Blizzard merger, in which the new company dropped many of the titles that were to be published by Sierra Entertainment. The game's now due out this spring.

It is not known if Codemasters has purchased the Leisure Suit Larry property outright, or if it's merely publishing the game. Box Office Bust represents the second entry in the suggestive adventure series that has been made without the input of creator Al Lowe.

Is it just me, or do all the characters look about 12? Must be the bobble-head proportions that seem to be so popular these days.

I love Al Lowe. I'm not sure why they didn't want his input or consultation for these games. He was more than willing to help.

The game doesn't look good. However I liked all the previous LSL games and just about everything released by Team 17. I will buy it.
