Knowing that a surprise or counter culture reference is never far away should motivate players to soldier on to the end.īut it's the boss battles, in particular, that really steal the show. Playing a round of zombie basketball or baseball is as fun as it sounds, while attempting to survive a Pac Man-inspired retro encounter shouldn't fail to put a smile on your face. Just as continued zombie encounters begin to grow a little tiresome, the game throws in a mini-game, boss battle or, in the case of a stage later on in the game, level after level of old-school arcade action. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play While it's by no means a poor system, and decapitating zombies or cutting them in half never gets old, it doesn't quite live up to its potential. It's sorely missing a launcher attack and subsequent aerial combos, and fails to combine gunplay with melee moves, something that worked so well for the aforementioned Devil May Cry. Unfortunately, though the combo system is flashy and uncomplicated, it lacks the depth and sophistication of something like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. Purchasing combo cards introduces increasingly elaborate combinations, and it's not long before Juliet's chainsaw doubles up as a gun. Combat includes high and low chainsaw attacks, pom-pom moves and specials, including pole dance attacks and unique offence involving Nick's severed head. Lollipop Chainsaw is a hack and slash title with old-school sensibilities, something that once again works for and against the game. If you weren't impressed by the obscene content in his previous titles, chances are there's little in Lollipop Chainsaw to change your mind.
The game is sometimes guilty of trying too hard to be crass and vulgar, a problem that crops up in many a Suda 51 release. However, the constant swearing, sex jokes and general lack of maturity does begin to grate after a while. Nick plays the sidekick role wonderfully, making up for the lack of laughs provided by Johnson from Shadows of the Damned. Though silly, the story is undeniably entertaining, complimented by an amusing cast of characters. Accompanied by the decapitated head of her boyfriend Nick, it's your job to defeat the zombie Rock and Roll Lords, who were unleashed by a goth loner with a crush on Juliet.
