Lollipop Chainsaw

 

Trust me, I'm just as sick of zombie games as you are. But you know what I'm not sick of? Suda51, that's what. And his newest slice of WTF? is the perverted punk pop pastiche that is Lollipop Chainsaw. At first glimpse it may seem like nothing more than a prettier Onechanbara, but there's more to this game than copious gore and hypnotic booby bouncing. A little more, anyway.

 

 

Using the power of cheerleading, chainsaws and upskirts, Juliet Starling slices, chops and even cleave zombies clean in two from balls to hairline, transforming them into sugar-pink hearts and candy coloured rainbows as she does so. Much like No More Heros, combat is manic melee fare and features whacked-out bosses like a zombie rock star, who attacks by screaming profanities at our heroine - giant words like "Cocksucker!" actually travel across the screen like burst of energy blasts to be dodged. Now you won't see that in the new Call of Duty, will you?
