![]() 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. Still, the game seems to have stuck around in the public consciousness.Few games establish a tone as firmly and quickly as this one. It garnered mixed reviews at launch and failed to generate big enough sales to warrant a sequel. It was a typically unusual entry from creator Suda51, with a script worked on by James Gunn. Lollipop Chainsaw stars an American cheerleader in a skimpy outfit who chops up zombies while aided by her former boyfriend Nick - now a disembodied head. Please look forward to the game's 2023 release." "Our goal is to make it easier for games who want to play Lollipop Chainsaw to do so. "As such, we purchased the Lollipop Chainsaw intellectual property from Kadokawa Games, and decided to develop a remake. "We, the original development staff on Lollipop Chainsaw, think of the game as very precious to us, and did not want to leave it in limbo, where players who want to play it cannot," Yasuda continued. (The game is one of few titles notably absent from Microsoft's Xbox backwards compatibility programme - perhaps due to those music licensing issues.) "Unfortunately, various factors resulted in things making it so that fans can no longer easily play Lollipop Chainsaw, and it has been some time since players have not been able to access the game on current consoles," Yasuda wrote, announcing the project today (thanks, Automaton Media). The remake is being developed by a combination of veteran Lollipop Chainsaw staff and newcomers, and will feature "more realistic" visuals.ĭue to licensing issues, the game will largely feature a new soundtrack, Dragami Games said.
