Latest reviews: Law & Order, Larry, WANTED

Law & Order: Justice Is Served received its final verdict over at Four Fat Chicks:

 

"Improvements are significant with this third iteration of what I hope will be an annual event. Fortunately, Legacy has realized that the writing and storyline are of paramount importance and has brought back Ms. Oshry, the author of Dead on the Money, to create the longest and most involved drama of the three. Indeed, in addition to a 500-page script (versus the 300 pages of Episode II), we also find 30 locations versus 22, 40 speaking characters versus 30, twice as many puzzles, an improved interface, and greatly improved graphics."

 

Meanwhile, Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude was undressed at Worthplaying (8/10):

 

"I will admit that gameplay can get a bit repetitive, but the developers wisely put great dialogue over the games, so there is always something to distract you. Throw in a song parody or two, shake well, and you have a recipe for good, adult entertainment. I must also report that, with the exception of "nude mode" (unlocked when you complete the game), the replay value is on the low side, unless you break the game out at parties just to get everyone laughing their butts off."

 

And Gameshark snapped up WANTED: A Wild Western Adventure but spat it back out with a score of 3/5:

 

"Where the game loses some credibility amongst adventure gamers is in its action and arcade sequences. Some of these exercises may very well be considered a death knell for continuing the adventure; One such sequences involves a first-person shooter shoot-out that is highly arcade in nature; while another, an insult drinking game challenges players to fire off insults while drinking root beer. Some of the game's charm is also lost in its humor and translation. The humor in game ranges from situational humor to conversational humor that doesn't always come off as particularly funny. Whether that is because it was originally designed for a European audience or not remains to be seen. Some will find the humor to be fun, while others might find it to be lame - humor, like a lot of things - is in the eye of the beholder."
