The background will fill with neon sparkles, with big bold letters reading 'sparkle hunting' plastered on the screen.įor the most part Lollipop Chainsaw is a shallow, albeit fun, game. Kill multiple zombies at the same time and you'll trigger Sparkle Hunting. This is used mostly on the characters whereas environments are rendered normally.įor a game centered around killing hordes of zombies there is a surprising little amount of blood and gore, replaced with bright neon colours. Though while the character models look nice, especially Juliet's (and no, not in that way) there is just a hint of cell shading in the visuals which makes everything look a little off. While not game breaking in any sense, it was cause for utter frustration.Ĭhainsaw Lollipop isn't a downright ugly looking game, it has an excellent comic book/grind-house aesthetic to it. I'd move the camera so to get a better view of my opponent(s) and plan my attack only to have the camera say otherwise and reposition itself to exactly where it was. During a boss fight, or a time when faced with hordes of enemies, I found this to be the case. You'd also expect that, fixed camera sections notwithstanding, the camera wouldn't start acting on it's own and flying all around the place. You can move the camera around as you'd expect by using the right analog stick. One of the major issues I had in relation to gameplay was the camera. Though honestly, I don't think it would had made much difference. I would had preferred extra weapons which you could equip either before or during a stage, like a hockey stick or a massive meat clever, since these additional 'modes' for the standard chainsaw doesn't provide enough variety in the gameplay. For the most part these upgrades are central to the level which you unlocked it, though in the case of the chain gun you'll use throughout the rest of the game. In an attempt to mix things up you will unlock different weapon modes for Juliet's chainsaw, adding the ability to dash-charge or use it as a chain gun for example. While many may be turned off by this type of haphazard use of profanity and sexual reference's, you need to take it in your stride. Zombie's, other characters and survivors you'll end up saving will throw out lines like, 'I'll be thinking of you in the bathtub tonight Juliet,' to more direct innuendos, 'remember to get Juliet to do cartwheels while wearing those panties with the brown bears on them,'.Ĭoarse language also seeps its way into the game, with a particular boss who'll scream 'f***ing b**ch' and 'stupid wh**' and have his words transform into flying red letters that will be hurled towards you. There are more than a dozen or so references to Juliet as a sexual object. This sort of back and forth between them become stand out moments in Lollipop Chainsaw, Juliet's ditzy yet badass personality against Nick's more grounded, and sarcastic attitude. In one stage you'll have zombie cow's thrown at you, and Nick will remark how he now dislikes cow's for this reason to which Juliet replies, 'Don't be racist to cow's Nick!'. Juliet's boyfriend is strapped to her belt for the majority of game (being a head and all) so the two often converse with each other, resulting in a few laugh out loud moments. While the story itself is completely throw away, with some surprises here and there, the writing is at its strongest when it comes to the humor and jokes peppered throughout the game. ![]() The writing is a pretty shallow affair, but collaborator James Gunn (writer for the live action Scooby Do films) does well to connect all the dots so it's always clear why you're slaughtering hordes of zombies.
