![]() ![]() It sounds like an arsenal ripe for endless amusement, but the sad reality is that it’s a slow grind. Juliet uses pom-poms, a chainsaw, a gigantic gun, and sometimes the head of her boyfriend on the end of a leash to kill zombies. His sarcastic demeanor makes playing as Juliet tolerable - something that can’t really be said about the combat or enemy encounters. Juliet is an idiotic, unaware bimbo, and Nick is a frustrated, frightened, impatient high schooler who just has to deal with her. Almost every word out of Nick’s mouth made me laugh out loud because he’s written well. His banter is one of the only constants in Lollipop Chainsaw. He’s confused, incapable of contributing much, and quick with a witty joke. Of course, the guy can’t do much more than color commentary since he’s nothing more than a disembodied head strapped to Juliet’s waist. A few hours into the five-hour story I was sick of hearing anyone say anything - except for Nick, Juliet’s boyfriend. ![]() The exhausting vulgarity is amusing early on but grows annoying shortly afterward. When shocking and titillating the player take precedent over the core gameplay loop, we have problems. Obscenity eventually hits a point where it’s no longer contributing to anything. In and out of combat, the primary goal of Lollipop Chainsaw is the money shot, whether it’s up Starling’s skirt or down her shirt. For every zombie Juliet Starling decapitates with her chainsaw, someone calls her a whore, talks about masturbating to her, or comments on her gigantic breasts. At some point, however, the over-the-top exploitation of a hyper-sexualized high school student isn’t the parody it started as anymore. Lollipop embraces exploitation to poke fun at itself - everything is excessively violent, excessively sexual, and mashed together with glitter, sparkles, and rainbows. Profanity is as prevalent as innuendo, and the open-faced absurdity is endearing. It has fun with itself and is proud to be what it is. From top to bottom, Lollipop Chainsaw is self-aware and utterly silly. If you can’t hang with the nonsense from the start, you won’t keep up as the obscene insanity spirals further out of control. In the first five minutes, a voluptuous blonde goes from welcoming you to her bedroom to having a steamy shower scene to slaughtering zombies in her high school. Even fewer are willing to leave you behind if you aren’t into it. The bottom line: This is a fun game with an extremely humorous context that will please anyone with a sense of humor.Few games establish a tone as firmly and quickly as this one. If you judge a game solely on graphics, fight mechanics, or pure innovation this game is nothing groundbreaking, but it makes up for that by having such a unique and fun environment and stylistic ambiance. The game play AND the story are both vehicles for the message of the game which is that nothing is sacred and no line cannot be crossed. It is not a game that is intended to be taken seriously. It simply seeks to shock and provoke laughter with it's oft unbelievable and over-the-top combination of innocent ignorance and vicious gore. ![]() This game is not an attempt to mock or emulate another series, nor is it devaluing or attacking anything about any other game or any film. It's a Suda51 game, so there is definitely a suspension of taste involved. Assuming you are expecting a hilarious satirical stab at zombie-fan culture.
