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.

So basically, Lollipop Chainsaw is a game that’s certainly worth your time and money. The overall game, on Normal, is pretty short, but there’s a whole lot replay value packed into the experience that actually makes that short game time a lot more feasible than you might expect. The number of unlockable moves, upgrades, music, concept art, and costumes will take numerous runs through the game to see, and the additional ranking modes certainly add a bit more incentive to revisiting the stages. So definitely check this one out, it really shouldn’t be missed.

Lollipop Chainsaw reminds us of a time when games weren’t trying to be gritty and realistic, when they didn’t take themselves seriously, before games were all about making money and sticking to the fundamentals. There isn’t any new ground being broken here, but what we do have is a game that will give you more fun than anything else out this year.

Overall, though, the biggest problem with Lollipop Chainsaw is its length. There’s no way to justify picking it up at a full sixty dollars unless you’re going to get absolutely one hundred percent of everything in it, from achievements to high scores, and that might take you a week. If it shows up in your neighborhood, it’s a nearly perfect rental, and on that basis, I can recommend it.

In the end, Lollipop Chainsaw is above all else a fun game. It has some issues (like most action games), but it’s a non-stop outlandish joyride from start to finish. Thankfully, there’s a ton of content packed in, and completionists will probably need 15-20 hours to obtain absolutely everything (rankings included) . I can only hope Juliet returns for a sequel.

Lollipop Chainsaw is, mechanically, the most accessible game Grasshopper has ever made. The combat is intuitive, solid, and made to raise a smile. Thematically, this may be the most impregnable and insane yet. Making rainbows shoot from the ripped-open necks of zombies while The Human League is blasting through one’s speakers is an experience that defies all human sense. As weird as it may be, however, there is a very nicely crafted game running underneath, one that provides a consistently intense sense of power and brutality wrapped in a cartoon package. After so many years, Suda 51 and his team have finally struck a near perfect balance between oddity and playability in a way that should delight those with an open mind and a strong stomach for inanity.

If you want to crank through a game once, enjoy the trip, and then leave it behind, Lollipop Chainsaw won’t give you much bang for your buck. The game is crafted like a shoot-‘em-up, meaning you really need to dig in and master it to understand where its value lies. If you have the temperance for that type of play, Lollipop Chainsaw is one of the best brawlers in the last few years. Combine that with an effortless sense of humor and Suda 51’s one-of-a-kind style, and you have gaming perfection for the right kind of gamer.

Lollipop Chainsaw does one thing exceptionally well – it never takes itself seriously. It’s fan service, it’s over the top, it’s beyond ridiculous, it’s cute, it’s funny, and it is more fun than it should be. While it does have a few flaws, the sum of all of the ridiculousness is a game that will have you laughing. Whether it ’s out of discomfort or a few of the genuine funny moments is entirely up to you.

Still, if you’re a Grasshopper fan then you know what to expect by now. Mechanically accomplished, stylistically exceptional yet littered with sloppy indulgences, Lollipop Chainsaw is another typical Suda game. You either love it or hate it. But if you fall into the former camp then there’s much more to love here than ever before. The partnership with James Gunn (writer of such wasterpieces as Slither and Tromeo And Juliet) is a much better fit to Suda’s style than we ever could have dreamed. Every grubby, obscene or just plain daft line of dialogue fits so well that we wouldn’t mind if Gunn became a permanent member of Grasshopper’s “videogame bandâ€. Conversations shared between Juliet and Nick are among the funniest videogames have to offer, and the range of pop-culture references Gunn weaves in (including an unexpected nod to Michael Bublé of all people) make this the most western-friendly game to come out of the studio without sacrificing its brand of lunacy. Which is something definitely worth cheering about.

Like most Suda51 games, Lollipop Chainsaw is an acquired taste. There might not be too many people who will be fine with the short gameplay length, the humor and dialogue may be offensive to some players, and the scattershot mix of minigames and combat may not sit well with those who are looking for a more straightforward title. Lollipop Chainsaw is very hilarious if you’re into that style of humor, and the combat system is enjoyable while the score attack system encourages replay. It is a lot of fun, and action fans who are open to trying something out of the ordinary will enjoy this game.

On the whole Lollipop Chainsaw is a title of staggering contrasts. With wonderful, satirical humour mixed in with misogynistic barbs and varied, entertaining gameplay thrown in with a mish-mash of hit and miss minigames. On the whole this is a slick and fun package that benefits from a delightful soundtrack along with a vim and verve from its lead characters to tackle the most ridiculous predicaments. Lollipop Chainsaw is a game that suffers from a wonderful lack of pretension and, despite a few duff moments, manages to deliver a fun romp from start to finish.

Lollipop Chainsaw’s main gameplay is hacking and slashing zombies with your chainsaw and pom-poms, and occasionally breaking out a special attack that earns you Sparkles, along with additional goods. There are mini-games that help break up the monotony, including first-person bike riding, a Pac-Man-style grid battle that’s actually quite enjoyable, and a side-scrolling game where, again, you’re doing your thing, but in a classic gameplay style. Yes, the combat does get repetitive, but you’re able to unlock new combos and other techniques over the course of the game, becoming even that much more of a bad-ass in the process. Some attacks are a bit tricky to pull off, especially against bosses, but it remains thoroughly enjoyable, just as a Suda 51 romp usually turns out to be. And something tells us that, with a sexy female lead fronting the assault, Lollipop Chainsaw will garner more success than Shadows of the Damned. Even without the Big Boner.

But there does feel like there’s some spark missing, a split-second of latency between attacks. This leads to more button-mashing than necessary, cathartic as it might be to go Sparkle Hunting which activates whenever three or more zombies are decapitated at once. Even then, there’s something satisfying about multiple bonuses as Toni Basil’s "Mickey" plays in the background.

The longevity of Lollipop Chainsaw relies on how much time gamers want to practice combos to finish levels faster and more cleanly than other players on the leaderboards or earn enough silver coins to purchase a closet’s worth of outfits for Juliet. Otherwise, the game is a quick experience that doesn’t dwell too much on one particular thing for too long before throwing something else at the player.

Despite not being Suda51’s tightest video game, Lollipop Chainsaw is still very fun, and rather poignant. Some may scoff at the overt sexuality of the main protagonist, but that’s the whole point of the character. Juliet, and the game she stars in, is a rather sharp commentary on the industry. It’s unfortunate then that so many people who play this game won’t be able to see the smart wit at play since the core mechanics just don’t hold up in the long run. If you’re able deal with fairly average gameplay, and able to see the forest for the trees in the game’s tone, you’ll get plenty of enjoyment out of Lollipop Chainsaw.

Chainsaw isn’t one of those leisure summer games that just relaxes you on a dry and hot summer day. It’s hot all on its own. You have to have the stomach for this game. Mostly for its silliness, intensity, senseless violence and freaky humor. The jokes and gags aren’t too bad, albeit it takes a while for them to get to a point where’s they’re actually amusing. The narrative cannot be described as an incentive to keep playing. Truth be told, you don’t need a particularly complex story for a weird game such as this. Yes, it’s weird. It also may seem like a ridiculous waste time, but given the chance, it can also be ridiculously fun.
