Les Manley in action again! This time a New York amateur goes to Los Angeles on the call of his friend Helmut. Unfortunately, on the day of arrival it turns out that the adventurous companion from the first part of the game disappears in mysterious circumstances, just like his charming chosen heart and a pile of other Hollywood stars. Your task is, of course, to solve the mystery of what you will save many famous pop culture figures from the oppression.

Two years is a rag of time in computer entertainment, which is why Manley and Associates, the author of this adventure, decided to revolutionize the user interface. There is no text input of commands, applying the game intelligent interface "point & click" (icons will change automatically, depending on which object we move the cursor over). Frankly, such a solution is missed as much as possible. Playing Les Manley in: Lost in L.A. is about constantly clicking and trying to use the acquired items on all the interactive elements of the background. If the authors decided to choose the icons that we can use (e.g. as in later editions of the King's Quest series), the game would take a significantly different turn.

However, graphics, which is displayed in VGA mode and using 256 colors, have improved significantly. Occasionally appearing digitised images (especially in the case of meetings with women and men) also count in plus. Unfortunately, that's all you can say about this game in the category of advantages. The authors - despite an interesting, though at first glance slightly tapped screenplay - did not manage to add the same degree of humour to their work as in the case of the original one. The game is simple, boring and very short. Les Manley in: Lost in L.A. is a production for maniacal fans of classic adventures and in fact only they can get a bit of pleasure from the game.
