Leisure Suit Larry II: Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places)

Unlike Leisure Suit Larry 1, the game follows a linear story progression similar to Sierra's other adventure games. The player character's movements now can also be controlled via the mouse, although a text parser is still used for all other actions. Though there is no visible time limit, a number of pre-scripted events require players to act quickly in order to reach the next sequence. As is standard in most Leisure Suit Larry games, Larry's interactions with female NPCs are accompanied by a on-screen portrait. The game actively punishes Larry for flirting with any woman he meets, a marked departure from the rest of the series as Sierra intentionally toned down the character's sexual escapades for this sequel. For this reason, the game did not include an age-verification test, although brief instances of pixellated nudity still occur at certain points. This lack of Leisure Suit Larry's trademark humor was an oft-cited criticism of the game and the series returned to its original formula in all later games.
