There’s a level of sexism in the protagonist, the overtly sexual cheerleader zombie hunter Juliet Starling, which makes it hard to believe we would see a mainstream game like this in 2012 that wasn’t a spoof.
If that sounds too mean, note that Grasshopper is probably doing this on purpose. Your enjoyment playing Lollipop Chainsaw is largely dictated on your tolerance of things commonly perceived by the general population as obnoxious-if you don’t mind soul-piercing voices, short but repetitive actions, and the absurd for the sake of absurdity than you may-may-like Lollipop Chainsaw. No matter how much I wanted to laugh at the pop-culture one-liners, or enjoy the excessive gore, I was constantly reminded that this is a super obnoxious game, full of obnoxious characters, obnoxious camera angles, obnoxiously repetitive levels, and obnoxious controls. Or maybe you wanted to check out Grasshopper Manufacture’s latest slapstick-infused gore fest. When you imagine a ditzy-Britney Spears-cheerleader-inspired zombie hunter who dons as little clothing as possible, you may be mildly intrigued. Lollipop Chainsaw is one of the most obnoxious games I’ve ever played.
