Unfortunately, a zombie outbreak has occurred, which leads to Juliet fighting off hordes of Undead on her way to meet Nick. On Juliet Starling's (voiced by Tara Strong in English and Eri Kitamura/ Yōko Hikasa in Japanese) eighteenth birthday, she goes to San Romero High School park to meet her boyfriend, Nick Carlyle (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum in English and Kenichi Suzumura in Japanese) who is going to meet her family for the first time. These days, zombiesare more over-exposed than a man wearing rice-paper pants in a typhoon, but if anything is going to shake them up it's going to be the combination of extreme dismemberment and girlie day-glow-nonsense.The game follows the adventures of Juliet Starling, a San Romero High School cheerleader that got caught in a zombie outbreak lead by a Goth student and five zombie overlords representing types of music Equipped with a chainsaw, Juliet must use her cheerleading abilities and charm to survive.

However Grasshopper pull this off though, I love the concept. Exciting-high of course, but certainly high. Considering that this statement comes from the man who has previously facilitated us seeingwank-charged lightsabers and a gimp-batting, beer-sluggingLolita dominatrix, I'd say that the bar is set high. Suda says that Lollipop Chainsaw is "a poppy zombie game unlike anything people have ever seen". Or maybe the image of a skimpily-clad cheerleader 'sawing the throbbing undead hordes into piles of well-past-its-best steak was just too perfect a grindhouse image for Suda-san to ignore.Why Isay "maybe" to both of those possibilities, when I know that latter optionisalmost definitely the truth, I am frankly unsure.īut either way, she'll be hacking her way through school, leaving torrents of sparkling zombie innards wherever she goes.


Perhaps she's part of some apocalyptic new wave of Extreme Cheerleading, which uses bladed power-tools instead of batons. LP's protagonist is Juliet, a cheerleader at San Romero High School (Yes Suda, I do indeed most certainly see what you did there).
