Lollipop Chainsaw

Lollipop Chainsaw is a third-person, action slasher. You play as Juliet, a perky blond who isn't your average High School cheerleader - but also a zombie killer.

Just as she's on her way to meet her boyfriend's parents for the first time, zombies come out of nowhere and attack. To save her boyfriend, she decapitates him and carries his head around, hoping to save him while defending herself and others from the zombies.

The game received generally positive reviews, both in Japan and overseas, with an average score of 78%. Praised for its visuals and comic relief, but criticized for poor controls and overall bland gameplay.

For more information, check out our Lollipop Chainsaw Review.

The game will require a couple playthroughs, as you'll not only have to play on Hard, but Ranked Mode as well, and beat certain scores along the way. There is one online trophy, but it simply requires you to upload your gameplay - so as long as you have internet connection, you're fine.

Overall, this game shouldn't take more than 30 hours to complete.

We recommend not bothering with Easy. Instead, start on Normal and for the most part, just get from beginning to end. You'll earn some story-based trophies along the way, and a few other challenge-related ones. Check out the Lollipop Chainsaw trophy guide links under our Links tab for further details.

Once that's done, you can go back and mop up any other trophies you've missed. Since you'll be grinding for the International Zombie Hunter trophy later, it makes things faster if you do your mopping up on Ranked mode.

Once you have International Zombie Hunter, you'll need to play the stages again, this time trying to beat Dad's score for each, in order to claim the Master Zombie Hunter trophy.

Lollipop Chainsaw Review

7 / 10 Banzai!s

The latest creation by Suda51 and Kadokawa Games is a solid button-mashing, zombie-cutting game that was released at the right time (June 12, 2012) in the middle of a slow season for games. I finally got around to it this month, being in the Halloween spirit, and decided to write my thoughts about the game…

Lollipop Chainsaw is enjoyable, with cheesy one-liners, innuendo, licensed music which fits perfectly with the gameā€™s scenarios, and lots and LOTS of gratuitous animated T&A (one of the trophies/achievements is received for maneuvering the camera to look up Julietā€™s skirt). It features a variety of gameplay, including mini-games honoring classic video games, mowing down zombies in a tractor and fighting zombie chickens. Who wouldnā€™t love that?

Lollipop Chainsaw ReviewThe controls are easy to learn, and you can purchase more powerful combos which string together button presses for powerful decapitation and ā€œsparkle huntingā€ results. These are the key to obtaining higher scores for each stage, but it can be equally enjoyed by both button-mashers and tacticians. The ā€œNick Ticketsā€ location at L3 can get annoying, as it is extremely easy to press the analog stick in while trying to move around to avoid zombies or place combos.

While I am personally not a fan of cel-shaded graphics (Iā€™m looking at you, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker), this is extremely well done as a hybrid of CG and cel shading.

The main problem is the repetitive nature, especially when it comes to unskippable cut scenes. On multiple playthroughs the jokes can get stale, and every minor cut scene slows the game down. The major cut scenes CAN be skipped, thankfully. Still, you will need to play Lollipop Chainsaw at least twice (most likely three times) and may need to play the same stage a frustrating amount of times because of ranking mode.

This is the other fault, being that ranking mode stages MUST be completed in one session. If you die, whether it be normally, because a wall falls on you, or you run out of time during one of the mini games, you have to start over at the beginning of the stage. This would be fine if you could register a score for the leaderboards at the point of death, but you can only do this when you have completed the stage. Have fun with Zombie Baseball.

Lollipop Chainsaw ReviewOverall, Lollipop Chainsaw is well made and was one of the more enjoyable games of 2012. Itā€™s at least worth a rental or borrowing from your friend for a few nights of fun zombie slaying.

 

Fun: 8/10

Graphics: 7.5/10

Sound: 8/10 (highly dependent on musical tastes, however)
