Despite everything that rocks about this game (I mean Tara Strong you guys, you guys, Tara Strong) I hear its only a few hours long, like 4, thats feeble as f*ck. Still its only £40 here in England which was a big shock (thats on the lower side of 50 that makes me feel good) so... maybe i'll give it a try... *looks at Tara Strong poster*... go away, I gotta go do stuff...
And now, because you demanded it:Tanis said:

EVERYONE!
Coming this summer to a theater near you
And the sad part is, i actually think that it might actually be able to work as an animated feature.
Oh, so you want plain old ho-hum "regular" spelling, then? Fine, fine, edited.Formica Archonis said:
I have heard this rumor, but it's really closer to six or seven. Plus, it's sort of "arcade style," which is to say that it's designed to be replayed, pushing for high scores. Seems a bit unlikely that most will do that, but it's what they're going for.DVS BSTrD said:
Weirdly Tara is also a Suda 51 veteran, having played Kaede in Killer7 and Cloe Walsh and Margaret Moonlight in No More Heroes 2.
Also, I guaran-goddamned-tee that you will have either Lollipop, Hey Mickey, or Spin Me Round stuck in your head for DAYS after playing this game.

Ah yes, Bronies, humans who have committed the great crime of liking something you don't. To the gulags with their bunch, they clearly deserve no better.Zyrocz said:
Listen, I honestly cannot give less fucks about MLP than I do. Half of my friends watch and I don't because I have better things to do than watch a cartoon about ponies. But I also have better things to do than getting pissed off at people for liking things. This is why I will never understand you guys who keep getting pissed off about this and feel that they need to insult people for liking a dumb cartoon. The only possible answer that I have come up with is that you guys are projecting your fears of immasculation onto them, which makes me want to name you the tiny penis club.
I enjoyed it, and I reckon it's worth at least 4/5. I don't think I'll go back for some of the highscore beating achievements but some of the collectables and upgrades achievements won't be that difficult.
An overall enjoyable and funny game to boot.

You know what I think could have made this game into a much larger, more interesting and more respectable game? change the protagonist to Harley Quinn. There are similarities in their voices and it could have been an interesting spinoff of sorts. It could have even kept the zombie theme, say all of joker's minions were turned into zombies by a bad batch of laughing gas and you've got a story.
I haven't played the game so I cannot say that it is bad, but from what I've seen Lollipop Chainsaw like a bad, but highly entertaining, game. Some people will love it and others will hate it.

A hyper-sexualized girl who weilds a chainsaw, has other-wordly powers, and likes to eat lolipops? That sounds familiar...
Although to be fair, she doesn't have that as one of her main weapons.

Ya know, I liked this game and I enjoyed it for what it is, but its one of those games that kind of makes me embarrassed to play video games. I mean, not that I have a problem with picking up the game or anything. Its just one of those games that makes it hard to take gaming seriously. Juliet is a parody of a parody, yes, but the average person doesn't know that. People see marketing for this game and they think that is what we, as gamers, look for and desire in a female.
Yes, its a parody and it was made with a purpose in mind, but the average Joe isn't going to notice that. They'll simply see posters with Juliet seductively devouring a lollipop in a skimpy outfit and shape their heads in confusion and disappointment. I mean, I know we like to pretend that we don't give a shit about what other people think, but we also feel the urge to DEFEND gaming as well. Lollipop Chainsaw doesn't make that easier to do.
That aside, I had a blast with the game. It was a fun beat-'em-up and I loved Michael Rosenbaum as Nick! Little on the short side, I am surprised that wasn't mentioned more.

Anyone getting the feeling that the people behind this concept just took one concept (Bubbly Valley Girl Cheerleader Fights Zombies) and rolled with it without any real design plan or any cohesive idea of what the hell to do?
It sounds like this would've been a fun game if it was more thought out.

Kind of a strange star rating given the rest of the review. Seems more like you'd want to give it a two.Mike Kayatta said:
