Game Review: Lollipop Chainsaw
Rating: 4.5/5


I was excited when my dad showed me this game while it was still being developed. I have been waiting for this game since about November of last year, and I must say I'm so glad I pre-ordered it.

First off, what gamer doesn't like games, zombies and women? I realize how bad that sounds coming from a female gamer herself, but its the truth. As a woman though, I find this game to be somewhat sexist and demeaning towards woman. I have a quote from a random person on Playfire about this game when I was discussing it, and when you think about it, it's true -

"The only thing I have a problem with is that she's a High School girl. Granted, she is purported to be 18 but there's a larger picture here. Regardless of her age, the game is teaching us to look at High School girls sexually and we all know that only a fourth of girls in High School are actually of age to have sex. 

Furthermore, there's absolutely no reason this game couldn't have taken place on a college campus. You keep the schoolgirl setting, you keep the cheerleader facade. Everything stays the same except now the girls are almost all of age to have sex." ~  QU4ND2RY, Playfire user.






I loved the game. I mean, I'm not much of an achievement hunter nor am I the gamer who constantly replays games, however I am currently trying to get all the achievements for LC and have replayed it four times. I really enjoyed this game.

Lollipop Chainsaw is about Juliet, a smoking hot cheerleader who comes from a family of zombie killers, who goes to school on her eighteenth birthday only to realize there was a zombie outbreak. I cannot go much further than that without ruining the game for you.

The story was amazing, however I wish the game gave you an option, after you played through once, to be able to play other characters in the game like her sisters and even her dad. I would have loved to play Cordelia. I thought some of the bosses were really tough, more specifically I had trouble the most with Zed when he was on the speakers.

I do wish that WB would have added some kind of online game play, whether that had been co-op campaign or a multiplayer like Left 4 Dead I & II.

WB left this game open, so it is very possible that we see a LCII in our distant future.
