![]() ![]() Killing Zombies will also give Juliet star power, and when she fills up a meter you can execute a rainbow attack for a bit of extra cheertastic spirit, it's ridiculous. Later on you'll also pick up a chainsaw attachment that turns it into a gun, with bullets that crop up from time to time when you need them most, and my favourite was more powerful version of the gun called the "nick popper" which is a one-off attack you can gamble for, allowing you to shoot Nick's head at zombies from a rainbow funnel. Not to mention your rank at the end of each level. Getting a hit in to break a charge or working out which moves will take-out the heavy zombies with just one move is really fun, and makes the sore fingers you get from slamming those buttons really worthwhile. You'll often be faced with zombies strapped with explosives, policeman zombies with guns, zombies that fly and some will charge you as well. There's a pretty decent variety of zombie enemies, too. If you don't time your attacks correctly combos can be frequently interrupted by heavy-hitting zombie attacks. I know but I felt like that stilted the action a little bit and does make things a bit button-mashy. Well it is a heavy weapon to use though, it's got some weight behind it. I found the chainsaw was a bit slow though Hex, just in the action of it. And the more combos you use, the more medals zombies will give up allowing you to buy even more. I thought these looked really great, chaining together your cheerleading attacks with low spins, thrusts and windmill moves really make a mess of the fray. Dead zombies will give up medals, and so will saving students in danger, and you'll use these to unlock more complex and heavier, hitting combos. Juliet's focus is on tearing her way through as many zombies as possible, using a combination of kicks, flips, cheers and pom-pom bashes, along with some hefty and acrobatic swings of her chainsaw. UNLESS, Juliet performs a ritual magic spell taught to her by her father that will preserve Nick's decapitated head, that she then chooses to wear as a belt accessory while she fights. Upon failing to make it to her boyfriend in time, Juliet watches as Nick is bitten by a zombie and realizes that there is no hope for him to survive. And in true Suda style, the game is weird. And Juliet, ditsy and scantily clad as she is, still manages to kick some serious butt in the process, with goofy jokes at every turn. Particularly after something like Shadows of the Damned which was really unsavoury. Yeah, it's crass, but it's actually quite funny at times. And while I shudder to think that girls everywhere could be jumping up to cosplay as Juliet at conventions instead of Femshep, this game really did make me laugh. I mean, Juliet Starling really is everything that's wrong with the way women are portrayed in gaming. I have to say, when I picked up this game, I really thought I'd hate it. It's the kind of crass, zany humour we've come to expect from SUDA51, centred around a combo-heavy brawler with stars-a-plenty and rainbows! And of course, chomping on a lollipop whenever she needs a pick-me up. ![]() ![]() Lollipop Chainsaw is the latest wacky offering from the mind of SUDA51 and his dev team Grasshopper Manufacture, which sees our perky protagonist leaping and cheering her way through zombie hordes all while wielding a deadly chainsaw. Luckily for Juliet, she has a well-kept secret, zombie massacre is what she does best. And to top it all off her high school has been completely overrun by zombies. ![]() Her cheerleading squad failed to win nationals for the third year in a row, she's late to meet her boyfriend Nick, who is like TOTALLY dreamy. ![]()
