His sarcastic demeanor makes playing as Juliet tolerable -- something that cant really be said about the combat or enemy encounters.

By Mitch Dyer Posted: 14 Jun 2012 2:00 pm If you asked 100 people what they loved most about Lollipop Chainsaw, youd get 100 different answers -- and exactly zero of them would have anything to do with the part where you play it.

Youd hear about the grindhouse style, brilliant comedy, shocking vulgarity, totally rock-n-roll soundtrack, or clashing themes.

Nobodys instinctive answer would be, Oh, yeah, the combat was a lot of fun.

This is the struggle of Lollipop Chainsaw: Its a one-of-a-kind experience, a game as fearless as it is unforgettable, and its as sterile as action games come.

Loading Few games establish a tone as firmly and quickly as this one.

Even fewer are willing to leave you behind if you arent into it.

In the first five minutes, a voluptuous blonde goes from welcoming you to her bedroom to having a steamy shower scene to slaughtering zombies in her high school.

If you cant hang with the nonsense from the start, you wont keep up as the obscene insanity spirals further out of control.

From top to bottom, Lollipop Chainsaw is self-aware and utterly silly.

Profanity is as prevalent as innuendo, and the open-faced absurdity is endearing.

Until it isnt. Lollipop embraces exploitation to poke fun at itself -- everything is excessively violent, excessively sexual, and mashed together with glitter, sparkles, and rainbows.

For every zombie Juliet Starling decapitates with her chainsaw, someone calls her a whore, talks about masturbating to her, or comments on her gigantic breasts.

In and out of combat, the primary goal of Lollipop Chainsaw is the money shot, whether its up Starlings skirt or down her shirt.

Obscenity eventually hits a point where its no longer contributing to anything.

When shocking and titillating the player take precedent over the core gameplay loop, we have problems.

The exhausting vulgarity is amusing early on but grows annoying shortly afterward.

A few hours into the five-hour story I was sick of hearing anyone say anything -- except for Nick, Juliets boyfriend.

Of course, the guy cant do much more than color commentary since hes nothing more than a disembodied head strapped to Juliets waist.

Hes confused, incapable of contributing much, and quick with a witty joke.

His banter is one of the only constants in Lollipop Chainsaw.

Almost every word out of Nicks mouth made me laugh out loud because hes written well.

Juliet is an idiotic, unaware bimbo, and Nick is a frustrated, frightened, impatient high schooler who just has to deal with her.
