![]() ![]() So now let’s dig into the meat of this game, the actual game play. Plus the character art used to introduce everyone was really well done, so I can’t complain. The graphics may be nothing ground breaking or state of the art, but they’re solid for a next gen title and have enough flair to them to make up for any shortcomings in this department. It provides a fun contrast with the dreary zombies you’re fighting, as you romp through the different levels purging the darkness from the area. The game uses bright colors to emphasize the action, with zombies exploding into clouds of glitter when they die and the protagonist decked out in colorful clothing. The game is also very appealing from a visual perspective (for reasons other than the half naked teenage protagonist). The game even gives you the ability to unlock specific tracks and create your own playlist for your listening pleasure, just in case you’re in to that sort of thing. From the top notch voice acting to the fantastic audio tracks (seriously, check out the track list) this game is a real pleasure to listen to. But this to be expected, as I felt that this game’s strongest aspect is easily its sound design. And this is in large part thanks to the game’s great voice acting, with great performances from Tara Strong and Michael Rosenbaum really playing up the characters for me. The best example of this is the banter between Juliet and Nick as they battle through zombies, spewing one liners back and forth and just generally being amusing. Even if it is absolutely insane.īut what really makes me overlook how ridiculous the story can be is how well Lollipop Chainsaw does the character interactions. The game never takes itself too seriously, and this gives the whole thing a great atmosphere that is really enjoyable to experience. The whole thing is over the top and preposterous, but it’s also really fun, in a juvenile sort of way. Long story short, this is not a game that’s going to win any awards for best screen play or most realistic performance. To make matters even worse, her school has been infected with zombies who are trying to kill everyone! What’s a girl to do? Why, pull out her magical chainsaw that she always has with her and proceed to wipe the undead out. She’s running late to school, which is a shame what with it being her birthday and all. ![]() You play as Juliet just your regular, everyday cheerleader who loves hanging out with her friends and family almost as much as she loves hanging out with her boyfriend, Nick. So if that sort of thing offends you, you may as well stop reading here as this game clearly isn’t for you.Īll right, so with that out of the way let’s start by taking a look at the game’s story. I was actually a bit taken aback by the blatant amount of fanservice that was readily apparent. I mean, there’s subtle humor, overt humor, and then there’s a chainsaw wielding cheerleader killing zombies. But when they announced their latest title, Lollipop Chainsaw, I have to admit I was a bit nervous. ![]() The fact that the games are generally really fun is a nice bonus too. Their games have a charming, if highly immature, sense of humor to them that always manages to bring a smile to my face. I just want to talk about teenage girls killing zombies.įirst off, let’s get something out of the way here: I really like Suda 51. That, for perhaps one fleeting moment, they might share a piece of themselves with their audience so that both they and their readers can grow from the experience. A desire for them to reach beyond the veil of separation and show the reader what they truly value and care about. To communicate something deeply personal about themselves or their beliefs with their audience. There comes a time that every reviewer wants to set aside their persona. ![]()
