So Sweet You Can Just Die

Lollipop Chainsaw is the 'un-deadly' story of sweet and killer zombie-hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak. With her wickedly awesome chainsaw in hand, Juliet slices, dices and splits her way through hordes of the undead, but soon realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to kill the chainsaw-wielding cheerleader.

Lollipop Chainsaw is being developed by Grasshoper Manufacture, led by celebrated game developer Goichi Suda (aka SUDA 51) and featuring the musical compositions of the renowned Akira Yamaoka. In addition, Hollywood director and writer James Gunn (Super, Slither, Dawn of the Dead, Tromeo and Juliet) has brought his cult humor and edgy storytelling to Lollipop Chainsaw's script.

Gameplay

Lollipop Chainsaw is a Hack and Slash Action game. To combat and kill zombie enemies, players utilize a combination of available attacks. Light attacks, in the form of punches kicks, and the like can be used in taking on small numbers of enemies, or to maneuver enemies into the most convenient position when faced with a numerical disadvantage. Stonger attacks against single or multiple enemies are unleashed using Juliet's devastating chainsaw. Even stronger advanced attacks are possible by filling up Juliet's star meter. The decapitated, but quite alive severed head of Juilet's boyfriend Nick can be used in attacks as well, and success in attacks allows for the upgrade of Juliet's chainsaw.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lolipocyalypse! July 7, 2012

By Terry Redd

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I will make this quick and easy for you. Here what you need to know...

1. The game is on the short side with around 7 to 10 hours for your first playthrough depending on skill and difficulty.

2. The game is highly replayable for extra outfits (which you are not being nickle+dimed for like Capcom would), higher scores, faster times, and harder difficulty.

3. You will either love the humor, or think it is plain stupid. Personally I thought the cheeky, satirical, and plain goofiness was great. This game DOES NOT take itself SERIOUSLY and that is very very good.

4. The combat is fun, but it can be tricky to figure out how to get multiple kills which the game highly rewards you for.

5. At $45 it is a great game for the length plus fun factor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Already hoping for a sequel June 13, 2012

Lollipop Chainsaw is a wonderfully fun and quirky game. It has a hack and slash, arcade type feel to it and has fun for casual gamers all the way to the most competitive. I played through my first time on Easy Mode which is essentially to see the story of the game or for those who want to buff up on their zombie hunting before hitting up a higher difficulty. There are leaderboards to compete and compare scores worldwide which gives this game a lot of high replay value. There are lots of cool unlockables such as MP3s to listen to ingame for your own soundtrack, and many different outfits to customize your Juliet. Part of the fun is buying different combos and abilities using the medals you collect to make your combat experience your own. I could see this as a great game to play with friends even though there is no multiplayer mode, it would be viable to hand off the controller to a buddy between stages to see who could get a higher score. The boss fights are the shining star of this game, each having their own theme based on a genre of music with unique and fun mechanics. I also enjoyed interactive parts of combat and the environment such as having to push a button at just the right time to dodge an obstacle or shake off a zombie. If I had to say one negative thing about the game since nothing is ever exactly perfect, I felt like the Chainsaw Blaster gun was a little bit clumsy to use but I also don't play first person shooters so felt that may have been what held me back there. There's hours and hours of entertainment in this one, don't hesitate to pick up a copy, I promise you'll be a fan of Juliet for life.

4.0 out of 5 stars A cult hit that misses a few marks. June 13, 2012

By Arfur Wentworth

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

Being a huge fan in the successful Bayonetta I fell in love with this game the moment I saw the original trailer. After playing it for a few days though you begin to realize this is not the same feeling.

Controls:The controls at times feel a little stiff and by the look of the main character she looks fast and nimble but when I play with her it's hard to get around. A bit clunky. After a couple of hours you do get the hang of it but there is no reason why she is as slow as she is.

Difficulty: The game is challenging, even on normal and that is a good thing, I love the fact that if you fail to save a human being attacked by zombies, he/she will turn into a very powerful zombie so it keeps you on your toes and makes saving someone a huge priority.

Fun/Combat: The game is fun hands down, the storyline is pretty weak but hey so is call of duty. The combat is rewarding as you try to rack up combos and get as many gold and silver coins as possible to purchase more moves and items to help you throughout the game.

Audio: The voice overs are decent nothing great, not on Mass Effect's level but the conversations are hilarious. Listening to her talk to her boyfriend and random one liners from the stranded students is pretty humorous.

It is back to 45 bucks and I think it's worth that price so take a chance and occupy your time with this gaming drought that happens every summer or at least until Skyrim:Dawnguard comes out. Enjoy!
