Before the startled Nick can ask anymore, he and Juliet set off to discover who could have caused this Zombie mess, and sort it out so Juliet can enjoy her birthday.
Game Infomation
Lollipop Chainsaw is a Hack and Slash type of game. Much similer to No More Heros, you use Juliet's Chainsaw and combat skills to dish out combos to the hordes of zombies. Of course, thats all you really need to do, but with the flashy moves, you don't really notice the hacky slashy-ness.
My thoughts
Now, I know what y'all are thinking, "A cheerleader in a skimpy outfit? Fighting zombies with a chainsaw? Pervy fan service!!"
Well, in a way you're kinda right. Juliet is a cheerleader in a skimpy outfit fighting zombies with a chainsaw. But the game more than jiggling and short skirts. Juliet's cheery and positive outlook on the whole situation is contrasted by Nick's realist and cynical view, e.g.
Juliet: "I hate it when everyone turns into zombies, but It means that I get to do fun stuff like jump on a firetruck!
Nick: Yeah, It almost makes me forget that all my friends are dead!"
Also, the game makes lots of references, to things like Mario, Facebook and many more! It has a pretty neat music selection, which allows you to pick a sound track set to play while doing levels.
Lollipop Chainsaw isn't a detailed, emotional RPG, but It is the perfect game if you wanna have fun, kill a couple of hundread zombies and look hot doing it.
