This review isn't as clean as your others, and I don't just mean by the nature of the game you are reviewing. There's a lot of sentences that could've been fixed up, a lot of words dropped that shouldn't have been, such as:

"Even the quiz you need to prove you are over"

"Need to take to prove" would've read better. It also still shows the things I mentioned in your last review, concerning flow and flair. I want you to leave your godly bird's eye perch and come down to get dirty in the mud with the game. Romp with it a bit. Don't be afraid to be a participator in your own review.

Of course, the good is still there, too. You provide an interesting and honest look at an old classic, and I was with yo straight to the end.


Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."

Even though it was one of my first adventure games, LsL6 was always my favorite. The ways girls screw him up in that one, every single one, is legendary.

I was 8 on first contact with this series. My older brother played and I watched, insisting on translations at every turn as my English was entirely not serviceable. One of my best childhood memories is of his embarassment when I, confused by a BDSM scene in LSL2, asked for an explanation and he had no end of trouble finding the right words.

I think that's probably where my corruption started.

Zippdementia, thanks for your consistent commments regarding the reviews here. Your comments on my reviews are the most useful, but I enjoy seeing your take on other people's too. I know it's work to read these things! I delayed a response here, then got caught between responding here and in the RotW topic, and there was real life too.

Sashanan, strictly going by the acronym(see acronymfinder.com--between it and urbandictionary I've learned so much that wasn't on the SAT-V) you could argue there was some BDSM in LSL1. With Dawn. But I remember my friends getting to the end and describing the blow up doll scene and the Spanish Fly. They didn't explain it to me. This despite my saving them on the quiz as I knew who Spiro Agnew was!

And I also remember them having so much fun getting Larry drunk, they didn't worry about the sex.
