In Lollipop Chainsaw, Juliet will, of course, be in her signature cheerleader get-up, but a girl can never have too many outfits in her closet. All of these threads are included in the full retail version of Lollipop Chainsaw for free and can be unlocked throughout the campaign.

I think Lollipop Chainsaw justifies its $60 price tag. As a trip down (through, and exploding out of) the rabbit hole of absurdity, it has few equals. Grasshopper Manufacture’s games are known for delighting in absurdity and Lollipop Chainsaw is undoubtedly their most accessible (and easiest) game so far. That being said, I also think Lollipop Chainsaw is a textbook example of a game that retailers are going to drop to $40 or $45 in a few weeks. That’s a much more comfortable price to pay, and, at that point, one hell of a bargain.

To compliment the game’s insanity is the soundtrack, a brilliantly schizophrenic mix of punk rock and 50’s rock ‘n’ roll (among other things). Not only does it work extremely well in the context, but it’s super fun to listen to.

Lollipop Chainsaw is a hefty slice of innuendo-laden, blood-soaked frippery. I’m taking “frippery†from “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory†because only someone like Roald Dahl (or maybe Dr. Seuss) could accurately describe this production. It’s not strange or quirky, though; it’s just over-the-top in a very specific way…and I know you know what way that is. …damn, what a terrible sentence. Okay, I’m done here. Juliet Starling awaits.

After finishing Lollipop Chainsaw, I was left with the same feeling I had after playing other titles from creative director Suda 51. Like Killer 7 and No More Heroes, the premise is exciting and imaginative, but the gameplay execution has too many holes to embrace completely. However, also like those previous games, I’m glad I played Lollipop Chainsaw.

So it is that we recommend Lollipop Chainsaw with all our hearts: it’s stupid, utterly wanton and everything a videogame should be (even with arguments concerning sexism going this way and that). But at the same time we can’t help but tell it like it is: Lollipop Chainsaw just isn’t a great game, and if you want something slick, technical and with pure, solid mechanics you’re going to feel a bit let down. Apart from by the music, because the music is brilliant.

Suda is an undisciplined designer. As with his comedy, he throws every idea at his game design, hoping something will stick. He’s an artistic, if idiosyncratic, thinker, so invariably some ideas do succeed, but the assault of jokes, ideas and vignettes ends up as unwieldy as it is characterful. The result is a game in which there’s as much to celebrate as to berate, as much to admire as there is to admonish.

There’s little about Lollipop Chainsaw that’s outright bad. Most of the writing’s cleverly done. The soundtrack is pitch perfect. It successfully executes on the concept of an exploitation film in videogame form. The creativity’s somewhat marginalized beneath commonplace mechanics but it’s still there, itching to get out. This time you’ll just have to dig for it.

As far as Suda51 experiences go, previous games have done a better job showing off his approach to game direction. Perhaps it is due to him collaborating with screenwriter James Gunn, but the game just feels – and I apologize for using the word – mainstream. This is no critique on Gunn (the script is good), but the experience, to me, is like seeing David Lynch step away from his unique style of film to do a light hearted romantic comedy. The idea sounds interesting at first, but in the end you can’t shake the feeling that something just isn’t right.

While it won’t win any best-of-genre awards, Grasshopper does a lot right with Lollipop Chainsaw. Once the core combat finds its rhythm and comes into its own, Juliet’s first outing is a solid take on the beat-em-up with a killer comic book aesthetic, memorable characters and genuinely funny writing. But — and this is a really big one — the unnecessarily oppressive language blows the game past the boundaries of fun schlock into distasteful territory, turning what otherwise feels like a fun and playful pop song into a GG Allin joint. If that’s something you can deal with then by all means give Lollipop Chainsaw a swing.

But we get the feeling that Suda51 almost wants it that way. Lollipop Chainsaw doesn’t want to be a precision-crafted piece of software, it wants to be a schlocky interactive B-movie. It also wants to prove that being ‘just a video game’ is not an insult and that not judging by appearances works for both cheerleaders and interactive entertainment.

The script has been created to amuse and shock but actually does neither, the only time I raised an eyebrow was when a Fireman zombie informed Juliette ‘I’m going to fist my arse with your head’, kudos to the writers for that particularly inventive and vulgar image.

Graphically the game is badly dated – the cartoony appearance can’t hide the dreadful textures, generic locations or choppy character models – and doesn’t run anywhere near as smoothly as a game like this needs to. It does have a solid soundtrack – Hey Mickey blasting out when you perform your special move is a treat that somehow never gets old – plus plenty of unlocks and collectibles to appeal to the hoarders among you. But unfortunately Lollipop Chainsaw’s core gameplay is distinctly second-tier, and for every endearing exchange between characters or LOL-worthy line, there’s a crude sexual innuendo or lingering shot of Juliet’s jiggling breasts. Maybe we haven’t come a long way, baby.

There is no doubt Lollipop Chainsaw is heavily marketed to be an indulgent romp through pop culture and appeal to our baser sensibilities. But once the façade of plastic fantastic is stripped away the game has to survive on basic combo repetitions and mediocre game play.
