Lollipop Chainsaw for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Allow me to state first off that, I am a huge fan of Suda51; Killer7 is one of my favorite games of all time. (Even if it is utterly bonkers.)

This game.. is a zombie slaughterfest with a storyline that spans one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game (seriously, up there with Brutal Legend's soundtrack). Yet, the game's still sort of.. weak.

What I mean by weak is that the game is short; the storyline is mostly nonexistant, save for the boss fights, and the controls are sluggish.

The story follows a single day--the birthday of the main character, as the underworld breaks loose and zombies infest the world, and five evil spirits (each one covering a genre of music; viking-metal, punk-rock, groove, funk, and oldschool hard rock.)

Of course, the main character just happens to be from a family of zombie hunters.

Yeah, that's pretty much the majority of the story.

So, here's pros/cons:

Pros:
+Goofy sense of humor that only Suda51 can pull off (by which I mean rainbows exploding from zombies' necks, and gratuitous panty-shots.)
+Awesome premise (a zombie-slaying cheerleader with a chainsaw. COOL!)
+Freaking SWEET soundtrack! (The music selection for different segments of each stage is superb, and fits perfectly.)
+Hilarious dialogue

Cons:
-Weak story. (Again, what I said above is about 50% of the story.)
-Short game (Yes, it's meant to be replayed multiple times, but the game probably won't last you more than 4-6 hours if you're like me.)
-Sluggish controls (I know, I know; you're wielding a chainsaw, which isn't exactly a fast weapon, but still. You can at least make it feel satisfying to wield!)

Bottom line:
This game is a lot weaker than Suda51's previous titles. It's definitely worth a rent if you're a huge fan of Suda, and love dorky humor. But if you're looking for a game with great combat with a great deal of depth, you may want to consider Devil May Cry or Bayonetta instead.

Not a bad title, just not a great on
