Lollipop Chainsaw is an interesting game. Before launch it garnered a lot of attention from the media for its sexualized main character, Juliet Starling, a cheerleader who happily vivisects hordes of zombies while snacking on lollipops. Now that the game has hit store shelves and the hubbub has died down a little, does Suda 51’s latest mind trip offer more than just eye candy to the discerning gamer? Lets get to it. We’re gonna get this out of the way as soon as possible. Yes, Juliet is quite the looker and the game doesn’t shy away from panty flashes and sex jokes, but honestly, it’s nothing you haven’t seen before in most PG-13 movies marketed at teenagers. There is some perversion on dispaly, such as with Juliet’s aging teacher Morikawa and his frequent comments about her underwear and lapdance classes, but it’s a chaste sort of perversion without any nudity or mean-spirited exploitation. Alright, now that we’re done with that lets get what’s actually important, like the gameplay and story. Lollipop Chainsaw
