I've been playing this game for awhile, and there was one thing real early in the game that stood out for me : It made me laugh. Genuinely laugh. As in, really laugh out loud. Not a 'Heh', or a soft chuckle, but a genuine 'good-lord-that-was-bloody-fun' laugh.
Granted, perhaps the humor is sometimes rather juveline and very in-your-face sexist, and the gameplay is completely different when compared to the old LSL games. But to my big surprise, it also really had the old, quirky, Leisure Suit Larry atmosphere, and there are quite a few cute references to old Larry games as it is. And seeing the now-rather-old Leisure Suit Larry Laffer himself sitting at Lefty's Too(which is a nice representation of the original Lefty's bar), searching through a newspaper in the 'singles' ads(while making quite a few references to the old days, wondering what ever happened to pointing-and-clicking and how in his days 16 colors was enough) felt right.
As for suddenly playing Leisure Suit Lovage... well, I can understand why they did that. And frankly, I like the decision, it feels fresh. Overall, he still has many of the quirks that his uncle has. And it's bloody cute when he's desperatley lying to woo a girl.
In this case, I think they managed to keep some of the old LSL charm in there, while having a different type of gameplay. And the game practically has me hooked because of the former.

The answer is maybe.
