    Good game, good gameplay, graphics and music. the story does not seek to be too serious and that's fine (but it has his serious moments,), to put it another way it really manages to entertain in a fun way.the different unlockables (although they could be more) also encourages a lot to play once you've beaten it.

    Really catchy contemporary tunes with it's astoundingly awesome original tracks.

    Cons:
    Enemies and Civilians hold this really out of touch brand of "L0L R4ND0M" Humor that was popular at the time but aged like milk these days. Sometimes it even reaches a very cringe worthy point of almost R4P3 Humor that hits like a truck.
    The combo system very early on is shallow and feels like the shop was more of a last minute change to ensure that the player has to buy Attack Combos. Which is the Antithesis of what a Beat/Slash-'em-up is supposed to play like. The whole point to this style of game is to give the player multiple choices of combos to use in certain situations.    … Expand

    It is a very short game that packs a lot of action and humor, but lacks depth in gameplay and story.

    Pros: - Humorous - Huge sex appeal throughout the game, which is rare in gaming.

    - Characters are unique and have their own style

    - A large array of combos and techniques.

    Cons:

    - The combat is not very deep. Simply attacking a bit, then dodge, attacking a bit, then dodge can get you through most of the game.

    - There isn't much of a story.

    - Not much replay value other than collecting items. No multiplayer.

    - Short game. 5-10 hours of gameplay.

    - Much of the combos and techniques are not put into good use, since you only need a few of them to get through the game.

    - Minor glitches. One part of the game there was one zombie remaining who was invincible and the game could no progress until he was dead, I had to restart the game. Secondly, if you exit a stage and re-enter it at the stage select screen without going to the title screen, the level will be restarted. You can only continue from your checkpoint if you re-enter the stage select from the title screen.    … Expand

    I first played this game a few years after so late to the party. The game is a simple hack and slash yet entertaining. I like the upgrades that you and can unlock to take out the zombies. Yes the game has a lot of fan survive and some dark humor to throw into the mix. If your looking for a game that is over the top and to go a mass zombie killing spree then this should work.

    Un juego donde se connvina zombis y porristas, con un humor un poco negro, pistolas, y un poco de sacarmos, si esta convinacion te gusta debes de probar este juego, aunque es demasiado lineal tiene aspectos del juego que te mantiene entretenido y te puede sacar un par de risas con su historia, es un juego que ningún otaku se puede perder.

    This game is amazing. It takes your typical hack and slash and then twists it into a convoluted game full of dark humour catchy punchlines and spectacular colours. If you're looking for a zombie killing game with a twist look no further. I was hooked instantly and couldn't get enough. The game mechanics alone will draw you in and the gameplay will do the rest. 5 stars from me.

    BUT what can keep you from enjoying this game is the gameplay and level design, combos are very limited, special skills are even limited to certain stages which makes subsequent replays a hassle, the levels have a ton of invisible walls which in turn kill whatever is left from your creativity to approach enemies and obstacles, and let's not forget the cancer that plagues games today, it is loaded with QTEs, some of them are justifiable, others, not so much, the added minigames later in the game are a nice way to break the repetitiveness of the main game though.

    My advice is, rent it, if you like it enough then buy it at a reduced price, but try to not play it for long periods of time unless you truly love it.    … Expand

Lollipop Chainsaw is one of most laughter causing games in history. Jokes and gags fits perfectly together. I believe, that they could be used in comedy shows like Family Guy or The Simpsons, because of their pop culture references and accurate punchlines. Storyline reminds sometimes B class comedies, so this could be an ideal artpiece for Rodriguez and Tarantino fans.
    When talking about gameplay, there's no way to not compare this slasher to classical masterpiece Devil May Cry. Necessary in this category, DMC outperforms better. LC is dynamic, challenging but not in DMC 's extent. Grasshopper Manufacture game is well slasher, but it could be more expanded. For example, we wont see an acrobatic sequences in this game. Upgrade system is simple and you dont need to spend time for making Juliet badass. Enemies are often reductive and they dont divide for many classes, so new enemies wont be more challenging than previous.

    All in all, Lollipop Chainsaw is simple hack and slash, without many gameplay diversities. Even if gameplay is lame, comparing to other slashers, but it makes up with excellent humor, brilliant designed characters and amazing dialogues, that will surely stick in your memory for years!    … Expand

    Very good game especially for a hack and slash which usually get extremely repetitive. Great funny dialogue all the way through. Lot's of replay value although if you're just gonna only run through the game once on easy it will probably only take about 5 hours. Easily over 20 hours worth of game play if you're going for all the achievements.

    Yes it's a welcome change from the big titles like COD, but it's nothing more than good old fashioned button thrashing fun. I like the way your skills build up and the combos get more elaborate.

    It reminds me of older titles from days gone by, the closes game I can compare it to on the Xbox is Wolverine which I loved.

    Do not be fooled by the portrayed cute girly looking image of this game. The language is dirty and there are plenty of sexual innuendoes which I like ;-)

    The main character Juliet is a babe which really makes me want to give this game a 5 star rating but she can get a little bit tedious when she repeatedly dishes out teen says such as O.M.G, awesome and this is totally cool etc etc.

    One other bad point is the game save points. I like to switch on the Xbox and have 15 30 mins on it while the misses is in the shower or something, the problem is that each chapter seems to last a lot longer than that and there are no midpoint saves. On the same note if you die it sometimes puts you annoyingly far back in the game.

    Please don't hate me for not giving this game 5 stars. I am just trying to be honest.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Now imagine your playing on Dead Rising with more speed and your a cheerleader woman armed with a chainsaw instead.

    This game have you running around doing fun missions plus helping the people who are not infected but will turn into them if you're not fast to save them.

    Knowing the controls was a bit mean since the book you got it with does not say much about it and so I think you can't block enemy's attack with your weapon I try-ed on hours and hours still no luck but it's a shame if you can't do it!

    Overall it's a nice game with plenty and I MEAN PLENTY of cut scenes to entertain you with a gir-ly feel.

    A shop to buy stuff from too to new skills or health pickups it's can be your choice.

    The music is a kind of rock and roll to the pause menu game so if you love rock this will please you since it has plenty of rock music in the game.

    PS now take a look at Dead Rising that game could be like this but it wasn't!

    Forgot the story mmm, it wasn't really a big one just cars trucks coming at you in the air in walls you name it a lot of cars oh yeah explosions too x x all because you must find your boyfriend in school.

    So by all means get this it will start your heart pulse race up and down with joy in it. A real charm to this game.

    At most part you only be using like 3 moves eh which does just gets dull boring at first but after a bit you learn more skills, it's a dark fantasy about a girl who can do magic stuff on pretty much anything with a gir-ly touch to it just look at the case for the more adult feel since it's 18+.

    Well I liked it too thumbs up no not because it has a cheerleader in it, it's like Dead Rising and by all means I liked that one too.    … Expand

    Good gameplay, decent graphics, sophomoric humor, lots of upgrades, moves, and extras. Typically wacky suda51 style but no real long term value.
