![]() There are a few mini-games where things can get a little awkward and one of the upgrades for Juliet's chainsaw (which makes it fire like a gun) is a little odd to control. Thankfully Lollipop Chainsaw delivers in this respect most of the time. When you're playing a fast paced hack & slash game like this tight responsive controls are extremely important to how much fun the game is. By killing zombies and completing other objectives you'll receive gold and platinum medals which are used to unlock various different things ranging from new attacks and costumes to stuff like background music or concept art. Juliet starts the game out with a fairly small arsenal of simple moves and combos which can be unlocked by purchasing new moves at the in-game store using the obligatory Suda51 style coin system. Of course things get a lot more complex than that but at the end of the day the foundation stands strong. Using the face buttons you can perform a weak, strong or low attack as well as a dodge button. Lollipop Chainsaw is a typical hack & slash in just about every way you would expect, and I say that as a compliment. Of course the main reason you're here is for the gameplay. ![]() ![]() He serves as a player surrogate allowing the other characters to explain things they should already know to him so as to explain to us why for example Juliet acts so non-chalant about the whole zombie business without having to resort to such cheesy lines as the typical "as you know" nonsense. Juliet's boyfriend Nick quite bluntly has all the best lines and provides many of the best moments throughout the entire game. The story is pretty absurd and over the top throughout, and the game is constantly aware of and commenting on this fact. You see, Juliet comes from a family of zombie slayers, so this is just another day for her. Using her chainsaw she chops off his head to save him, rationalizing her ability to do this as being magic. Without missing a beat she leaps off her bike and pulls a pink chainsaw out of the duffel bag she was carrying and proceeds to start slaughtering, intent on meeting up with her boyfriend.īefore long she does indeed meet up with him although, unfortunately, too late, and he gets bitten by a zombie. ![]() Juliet Starling is riding her bike to school on the morning of her birthday when she realizes that the road ahead is infested with zombies. In true James Gunn fashion, this works out perfectly and serves as a brilliant compliment to the game itself. Bizarre explanations are given as if they're something you should have known and are nothing out of the ordinary. The story receives little to no setup, leaving you scratching your head right off the bat as to what's going on, but things are shrugged off left and right. Lollipop Chainsaw is a game that knows from the beginning exactly what it is. ![]()
