The site has, as far as we know, never posted a flat-out zero in their gaming section-after all, that would mean that every review posted to the site would have to be a perfect zero out of one-hundred. Overall review scores on Metacritic are very rarely under 25 or so, and, so long as a game launches and something happens on-screen, it will, at the very least, manage to avoid the dreaded single-digit zone. There are so many moving parts behind the scenes that it’s a marvel to think that most games don’t simply crash-and perhaps set your computer on fire-upon launch.Ĭonsequently-as noted by review aggregate website Metacritic-many critics are willing to overlook a few flaws in order to salvage what may otherwise be a relatively enjoyable experience. Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust is, without a doubt, one of those games.Video game development is no easy feat: publishers like Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts may make it seem easy with their torrents of yearly releases and remasterings, but those without billions of dollars to throw into a project will find it to be an incredibly difficult task. IGN: “The lowest rating numbers here at IGN are reserved for games with nearly no redeeming qualities or interesting ideas, with next to nothing enjoyable to offer players, and which under no circumstances should be purchased by anyone.
GameSpot: “Poor technical performance joins mindless, repetitive gameplay and a truly atrocious sense of humour in the PlayStation 3 version of Box Office Bust.” Best Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust review quotes:
It was most definitely a sign that this sort of game was no longer wanted. The more nuanced sexual humour of the original games was out of the window in favour of trashy jokes that were often sexist and unfunny. Like most of those games, this was just a dull experience from start to finish. This game would’ve sat comfortably in the mix with any of the awful movie tie-in action platformers this generation was famous for.
