There are so many reasons as to why Lollipop Chainsaw should stand out from the crowd. For one, it's heroine is a typically blonde cheerleader. Not just any cheerleader though, Juliet is a kick-ass zombie fighting cheerleader. Its almost as though this has been plucked from the darkest corners of the anime fantasy realm. So what exactly went wrong, that Lollipop Chainsaw has all the ideas but zero follow through.

Lollipop Chainsaw has so many intriguing ideas behind it that should keep the gamer interested to a certain degree. It has an amazing rock filled soundtrack. The game is also filled with some witty humor and to a certain extent some bearably average voice acting. Lollipop Chainsaw's main appeal though is the bright vibrant colours that it uses through out its scenery and the characters.

Lollipop's biggest downfall, in my own opinion, is the way that everything it has to offer becomes extremely repetitive. There is only so much you can possibly take of Juliet's naive personality and even more so of the comments the undead will make about the lead character. It's not just the characters personalities that get old fast. Although the action at the beginning of the game seems to be enough for what it actually is, by the time you get half way through the game it gets extremely repetitive.

All that being said though, I would recommend at least giving the game a try as it does have its moments where it will genuinely surprise you. I wouldn't recommend paying full price for it however. There are a lot of moments in the game that will either make it or break it though, either you will appreciate the humor that it uses or not.

Lollipop tries to offer the gamer reasons to continue playing through it. There are costumes to be unlocked, soundtracks, moves and lots more but i honestly wouldn't waste your time. One play through is more than enough really.

I give Lollipop Chainsaw a 5 out of 10. There are some aspects of this game that did appeal to me.
