Steam lollipop chainsaw12/15/2023 ![]() ![]() It's the kind of out-there idea (Suda 51's take on the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" film) you'd expect from Grasshopper, and they delivered masterfully in that respect.Īt the start, the unambitious zombie-killing action is fun and easy to grasp. With the head of her decapitated boyfriend Nickie attached to her hip, Juliet cheerfully rips apart the undead legions with her trusty chainsaw and the demon hunting skills her family has known for generations. Juliet, a seemingly normal cheerleader at San Romero High, arrives at her school to celebrate her 18th birthday, only to find the learning establishment in ruins thanks to a zombie outbreak. Note: You will be able to let Nick perform several actions like earning money for you, doing special attacks and opening certain areas for Juliet when in possession of a zombie body.Grasshopper's pedigree - 2011's Shadows of the Damned, the No More Heroes series - will grab many hardcore gamers' attention, if Lollipop Chainsaw's completely zany concept doesn't do it first. What will keep players replaying the game is unlocking all combo’s and extra goodies. The game however offers you a ranking mode in which you can replay stages to get on a ranking list, a fun extra but it will not keep the casual players occupied for that long. If you don’t like to look in the few hidden corners you can finish the game in only 5-6 hours. The duration of the game sadly is very short. These upgrades are health upgrades, strength, attacks, … When having enough money or special tokens you can also buy other goodies like mp3’s, costumes, etc. You start of the game with pretty basic attacks and dodges (chainsaw, hand to hand, kicking, …), but as the game progresses and you earn money by killing zombies you will be able to buy upgrades at shops. My whining aside, it doesn’t happen at that many key moments (except for some cutscenes) and in some cases, if you mess up you can still set things right without any consequences. It’s fun to do something different from time to time, but personally I still think those ‘press the right button’ moments are the most horrible thing ever invented in gaming, except for guitar hero or other music games that is. The combat sometimes turn in to ‘press the right button’ scenes or activities. You pretty much cut your way through zombies to reach the boss of the stages you play through. Lollipop Chainsaw is as ‘hack and slash’ as can be. Note: the game offers you a way to buy the soundtrack ingame to listen to it when not playing levels. When it comes to the sound of the game it pretty easy to say – job well done. The voice acting and sfx were pretty awesome to listen to aswell. The game has music for every situation and even the menu//option themes are fun to listen to. The soundtrack of Lollipop Chainsaw was a pure delight. The effects and environment also look decently made. There is enough variety between the different types of zombies and they look amusing. The game show you a zombie infested earth through the eyes of a very naive zombie hunter cheerleader. The graphics of Lollipop Chainsaw aren’t from the top shelve but they sure look appealing. Also we will see Nick getting introduced to Juliet’s family. Juliet (and her family) is in charge of making everything right. The main story is pretty much that a gateway to a dimension called the Rotten world has been opened and that it influences our earth as we know it. (I sense a missed calling for doctor here.) And this is also where the real stages start. Ofcourse everyone knows what to do then… Nick gets decapitated by Juliet and gets his head invoked by magic to keep him alive. ![]() After clearing the first stage you meet up with Nick, who gets bitten by a zombie trying to protect you. For her to get to Nick she has to get through a decent amount of zombies first, while wondering if he is actually ok. (of which Nick is unaware)Īs stated before Juliet is going to meet her boyfriend, but for some reason there are zombies everywhere. Juliet was pondering not because of the normal awkwardness this situation creates but the fact her family has special ‘hobbies’, namely Juliet is part of a family of zombie hunters. As expected she’s running late because she was pondering about the fact Nick would see her family for the first time. You play as Juliet, a cheerful cheerleader, who is getting ready to see her boyfriend Nick. ![]() Will this not so common combination be a success? You get to live the adventures of a really cheerful cheerleader which happens to be a… zombie hunter. Lollipop Chainsaw is a game released by WB games for PS3 and XBOX 360. ![]()
