About this item

Juliet Starling is an 18-year-old student with a dark secret- zombie-hunting with a killer chainsaw in hand. Juliet must balance the drama of high school while carrying out her zombie-hunting lineage.
Celebrated game developer SUDA 51 brings his unique creative style and vision to the gameplay design, taking players through a wild ride of zombies, chainsaws, and rainbows.
Through an adapted script by James Gunn, Juliet must uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak at her school, San Romero High, but soon realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to take her down.
Players will hone their cheerleading acrobatics and chainsaw skills to string together devastating combo moves, taking out hordes of the undead.
San Romero High's zombie jocks and undead faculty are the least of Juliet's concerns when she soon realizes that she faces a bigger challenge, zombie rock lords that add a new 'beat' to SUDA 51's over-the-top boss battles.

My favorite Suda 51 game, and an underrated gem

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2013

Lollipop Chainsaw plays like an old school beat 'em up from a bygone era. This feels like it would have fit right in with the types of arcade beat 'em ups that were still around during the Dreamcast era. Don't expect that modern, new school, Bayonetta style combat from this game. It's too retro for that.

The script is very entertaining. It's from James Gunn who is known for his work on movies like Super, Slither, and Dawn of the Dead. This may arguably make this game better than its Japanese original. There's plenty of funny dialog, clever references, and even a little fourth wall breaking. Some jokes are crude and juvenile, but they feel right in a game that isn't taking itself seriously and clearly doesn't expect you to take it seriously. The combat system is a bit rough around the edges, but gets more and more fun as you get more moves, upgrades, and abilities. Getting Sparkle Hunts is fun and addicting and will boost your stage rank. The game also finds lots of ways to break up the gameplay with fun mini-games and other surprises. This is a Suda game after all. Stage 4: Fulci Fun Center really stands out in particular. Some of the bosses are really hilarious and memorable as well. Again, what you'd expect from a Suda title.

Some have criticized the game for sexual exploitation. In actuality, I enjoyed the way the game plays around with gender roles in a subversive way and I was impressed by the number of strong and dominant female characters in the story as well. The script is clever, with a certain self awareness to it and more layers than you'd initially think. Destrutoid covered this in detail on their site.

The game's art style is bright, colorful, and original. Again, it brings to mind old school arcade games. The soundtrack is an excellent mix of great compositions from Mindless Self Indulgence's Jimmy Urine and Akira Yamaoka of Silent Hill fame. It also includes of number of excellently used, licensed tracks from artists like Sleigh Bells, Toni Basil, Five Finger Death Punch, The Runaways and others. It's easily one of the best video game soundtracks I've ever heard and gives the game so much energy. Lastly, the game gets bonus points for referencing Evil Dead with the Ash Williams pre-order outfit, which many players will sadly never get to use if they buy the game now

A Hack-and-Slash Zombie Cheerleader Parody brought to us by SUDA51 and James Gunn

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022

Just from the cover and description, you should know what you are getting into. James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Suda 51 give us Zombies and Cheerleaders, Explosions and romantic drama, Chainsaws and pompoms. Its nuts and hilariously great!

Tara Strong and Michael Rosembaum give solid voice work to the main and supporting characters respectively and the combat of chainsaws, martial arts wrapped up with over the top humor and valley girl charm works very well.

Sometimes the levels can drag out a bit but the compliment of the actors and style of the game make up for it. Weapon types also change up each level and you can upgrade your character with additional moves and health. You can also unlock additional outfits and artwork from the game - from the looks of it, it could take a while depending on how much loot you are able to collect and how well that you battle!

Graphically it looks pretty nice for a SUDA51 game and the sound effects and music are fitting. Never gets tiring of hearing certain licensed pop/punk tunes and kicking zombie limbs - such as Toni Basil's "Mickey." Combat works well, again for a SUDA51 game and progressively gets better as you upgrade your character. Sometimes it can feel a little stiff in the beginning but you can easily get into a rhythm as you play.

There were a few times I felt like a hit a stumbling block in the game where you had to complete an objective or the gameplay style changes where you have to be a certain camera angle and use only a certain weapon. It took a bit of the punch out of the game, but the hilarity that was going on kept it interesting and eventually I was able to progress.

No horrid glitches have been found but there were sometimes where npc characters did overlap, but these were in special situations and not the norm.

Cutscenes involved both action comics and full in game character model scenes that keeps this parody rolling. Definitely a mature game but very tongue and cheek.

I highly recommend for someone looking for something different but just know what you are getting into!

Killing zombies gives me total wood.

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2012

I'm gonna try and keep this short, much like the game, which I beat in one sitting. That may be a turn off for some of you but to me I already went in expecting it to be pretty short. I beat it in about 4 - 6 hours roughly. However, the replay value is fairly high depending on your interest in unlocking items, achievements, or just replaying for the hell of it. I'm in the middle of my second play through now, trying to unlock all the outfits. Some of which are fairly revealing so if you're into that sort of thing, you will most likely not be disappointed. Unlocking outfits requires that you get medals by "Sparkle Hunting" which can be a real pain at times because you have to decapitate multiple zombies at once, and most of the time the zombies are either not standing close enough together or they are not all groggy at once. They must be groggy in order to succeed so it will take some practice to master. You can get medals in other ways but you get much more from sparkle hunting. Lollipop Chainsaw is also a laugh riot if you like stupid humor. James Gunns style definitely shows in the dialogue. The zombies say some very ridiculous stuff like "Let me F*%k your father!" That one gets me every time, it's just so random. There are many more over the top things coming out of the zombies mouths throughout. Some of the other characters have their moments as well. Obviously this game is not meant to be taken seriously, but you can probably figure that out on your own.

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I applaud Suda51 for constantly making some of the most absurdly unique and creative games out there, and I hope he continues to do so. More developers need to take risks and show some creativity in the gaming industry. We need more games like this.
