Hey Mickey!” During this period, slaying zombies becomes a cinch and she’ll be able to go for multiple kills more easily, which unlocks more and better rewards.

For those too lazy to look it up, it’s that cheery song that goes: “ Oh Mickey, you’re so fine you’re so fine, you blow my mind. More so, Juliet can charge up a meter to unlock a brief moment of super ability, backed up by the 1982 hit song “Mickey” by Toni Basil. Lollipop makes sure to add various mini-games each stage, which keeps gameplay fresh and varied and gives every level its own distinct feel aside from its theme. It may be cheap, but sometimes its implementation is rather enjoyable. A personal favorite is her Chainsaw Dash ability that makes Juliet race through a level and use speed strips to fly across the screen while collecting coins, like a 3D Sonic game. Juliet meets grandma zombies that utter profane things, references current trends and people like Katy Perry and she gets sucked into mini-games that resemble Mario is Missing. It doesn’t simply stop there though Lollipop Chainsaw crams this within every facet of the game. Introspection in this game isn’t allowed and so everything will distract the old attention span with either flashy colors, cheap comments or gore and mostly a combination of all at once. Whether it’s Juliet talking about her ‘ginormous ass’ or having idle chitchat with Nick, the direction will lead to puns and references as often as possible. With a roulette, she’ll also be able to use him for other weapons and rewards because men are things! Other times, her family will assist her with their respective traits, such as her kid sister’s psychopathic insanity or her big sister’s sharpshooting skills.Īll of this will be enriched with tons of crass dialogue. When not taking care of business herself, she’ll call upon her boy toy Nick to solve the issue by sticking his head onto a zombie corpse that he can control for a moment. Most of those will be zombies, but there are also doors and beams she needs to cut up, platforms she needs to get to, escape routes she needs to follow and so on. As Juliet progresses, she’ll meet plenty of obstacles that stand between her and her job as a zombie hunter. Still, level progression and the story in itself still have a nugget of added value. The game itself will take around 6-8 hours for a first completion, but unlocking new content and kicking up the challenge will allow players to come back to the story or try their hand at a Ranking mode. Beyond the expansion of character development, the collection aspect will become Lollipop’s main attraction quite like Bratz dolls and added accessories. Juliet can ‘shop’ at designated points and use earned coins to add to her stats, unlock some acrobatic combos to show off her cheerleading skills, add new happening songs to her MP3 collection or snag a snazzy new outfit, be it revealing or not. What follows is just an extension to the premise. Hell, Juliet can also use the sparkling chainsaw as a gun or a phone when she’s not decapitating people it’s the accessory for the hip girl. As heads starts flying and tinsel and rainbows fill the screen, gore and girly meet up into a mix of glorious bad taste. Each locale has ample sections ramping up to the final showdown filled with both color and the undead.

Each of these is related to a certain musical genre, such as a punk zombie in a junkyard and a filthy hippie zombie on a farm. The action takes Blondie through an array of stages in her local playground to eradicate one zombie boss at a time. It’s hard to be offended by it, since it’s the game’s very blatant approach. The word “cliché” can be added to any of this game’s features, but in reality it drives on this very aspect of pure exploitation. Together, they bounce, giggle and slash their way through the zombie apocalypse brought on by some Myspace cliché. The game in its essence is a B-movie setup starring peppy bombshell Juliet Starling, her zombie hunting family and her soon-to-be-parted lover boy Nick. Perhaps that’s its greatest strength as at least it isn’t deluding anyone. This new ‘edgy’ game by Suda 51 in collaboration with James Gunn is exactly what you’d come to expect and nothing more: A cheap, pop culture romp with bright colors and blinking lights that’ll make you go “oooh” for a second. Look no further than this statement when wondering about Lollipop Chainsaw, because it sure doesn’t.
