It is a “magical decapitation” of sorts as his head is preserved and Nick is able to communicate with Juliet. As the he comes to the realization of his fate, Juliet decides to take matters into her own hands and hacks Nicks’ head off with her chainsaw. It is not too long into the game when Nick is the victim of a zombie attack. Juliet loves lollipops, but even more than lollipops she loves her boyfriend Nick.

The game is set in and around Juliet’s high school of San Romero where there has been zombie outbreak.
DOES LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW WORK ON XBOX ONE FULL
Overall, Lollipop Chainsaw might temporarily charm through its colorful and naughty silliness and definitely should amuse the gaming misogynist in the family, but I found the awkward mix of teen sexuality and violence too unsettling.The star of the show is Juliet, an 18-year old cheerleader wearing nothing but a tiny mini skirt, tight tank top and of course she has a full sized chainsaw at her side everywhere she goes. More egregious is the tirade of insults pitched at Juliet by demons, adding an unfunny level of unnecessary vulgarity to the story, enough that it made me feel a bit embarrassed if a female happened to walk into the room while I was playing the game. However, once all the glorious “Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi” eye candy is scraped away, players often are bogged down in repetitive action that’s stalled in a routine, linear design and game mechanics that are peppered with only some mildly inspired boss battles. The soundtrack also is tempting with classic favorites such as the Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb,” Toni Basil’s “Mickey,” The Chordettes’ “Lollipop,” Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” and Human League’s “Empire State Human.” The graphic design layers of Lollipop Chainsaw are impressive throughout with menu screens looking as though they were ripped from a 1960s EC Horror comic book (remember Tales from the Crypt?), plenty of colorful cut scenes and action that blends pulp art and three-dimensional, cel-shaded characters.ĭevelopers try to beef up the content by offering tons of unlockables, such as vicious combination moves, alternate (and even skimpier) costumes for Juliet, lots of hard-core music (punk to metal) and concept art packages. She starts running and hits colorful ramps to jump while rolling over oil cans (to keep the saw primed), collecting medals and flattening zombies. * Maybe this one stretches the ridiculous (although I think once we get beyond Nick’s talking, bodiless head, it’s all reasonable), but Juliet uses a Chainsaw Dash much like Sonic the Hedgehog races through courses.* I did enjoy the pretty clever Pac Man homage that finds Juliet in a maze being chased by those munching orbs.* At one point, Juliet jumps aboard a wheat-thrashing combine and must mow down a set amount of undead simply by meandering about in a field.* Our beauty occasionally uses a stripper pole to spin around and quickly dispatch large numbers of her rotting enemies.* Basketball is now a much gorier sport as Juliet cuts heads off of attacking players and bounce them into the basket.

Juliet uses her Chainsaw Blaster (a potent shotgun) to fire at ghouls armed with bats and balls that pop up from the ground to try to stop Nick.
