Lollipop chainsaw i swear8/24/2023 The zombies also like to refer to Juliet as a whore or a slut rather frequently – something that wears thin by the end of the game.Īny of the stages you complete can be tackled again for a higher score. When I say bizarre, I mean “Fuck my ass with a bat!” or “Let me fuck your father” – and those are tame compared to some of the flat-out batty things you’ll hear through the course of this game. On the other hand, and competing with Nick’s severed head in strangeness, the enemies in this game make the most bizzare statements I’ve ever heard as they leap into a scene. Catch phrases tend to repeat, sometimes 3-4 times within 60 seconds. Mickey comes up every time you unleash Juliet’s special attack, which is something you’ll use with regular frequency.īeyond the repetition in the soundtrack, there is also some repetition in the voice work. Lollipop comes up every single time you go to a store, and plays on a loop the entire time you shop. Both are obvious Lollipop and Cheerleader tie-ins, respectively, and they come up something more than what you’d call frequently. Namely, I’d like to never hear Lollipop by The Chordettes, and Mickey from Toni Basil. Despite the extensive soundtrack, there are two songs that, if I never hear them again, it’ll be too soon. On the soundtrack side of things, the game features 16 tracks from Five Finger Death Punch, Toy Dalls, MSTRKRFT, Dragonforce, Skrillex, Children of Bodom, Toni Basil, Dead or Alive, The Human League, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and The Chordettes, in addition to quite a few tracks to fill in the gaps. By the end, every line he delivers is hilarious. I’ll say that most of the time their lines are delivered with a zeal that borders on saccharine, but as Nick ( Michael Rosenbaum) begins to come to grips (or lack of grips – he has no hands) with his screwed up situation, his presentation becomes more and more deadpan. Tara Strong, (Harley Quinn from Batman:Arkham City) handles Juliet, and Linda Cardellini plays Cordelia. Suda and crew grabbed some juicy talent to handle the voice work for Lollipop Chainsaw. Sweeter than candy on a stick, huckleberry, cherry or lime. Nick’s head is officially the strangest weapon I’ve seen in a game, so far. Distraught by the inevitable loss of her boyfriend, she does the only thing that makes sense – beheads him and uses a curse to keep his head alive! Swinging his severed head onto her ass, she sets out to slay the undead. Nick is Juliette’s boyfriend that, very early in the game, suffers a horrible zombie-flavored misstep that has him getting bitten in the end. It isn’t all that craziness that makes this game strange – it’s Nick. As you progress through the game, you’ll get new chainsaws that allow you to shoot giant bullets, motor through crowds, and much more. Focused heavily on Juliet’s cheerleader gymnastic repertoire, Juliet carves through scores of zombies using pom-poms, high kicks, splits, and her trusty chainsaw. The first thing you’ll notice about Lollipop Chainsaw is how much it resembles Suda51’s title, No More Heroes – and that’s a compliment. Your job is to decapitate, eviscerate, and otherwise rip apart the undead plague infesting San Romero High School. When the barrier between the human world and the Rotten World breaks, demons, zombies, and all various flavors of crazy are unleashed. From the mind of Goichi Suda, the same mind that brought you oddities like Killer7, Flower, Sun, and Rain, and No More Heroes, we get Lollipop Chainsaw – the story of a cheerleader named Juliet Starling who uses an oversized chainsaw (with hearts on it, of course) to fight the risen dead ex-classmates of her California high school. Mosquito, Sneak King, and even Custer’s Revenge are just some of the eccentric titles to have graced a console or PC of mine, but nothing beats this. I’ve played some strange games in my time.
