Coming from the crazy mind of (Goichi) Suda 51 (No More Heroes 1&2, Killer 7, Shadows Of The Damned, and more) and equally crazy writer/director James Gunn (Dawn Of The Dead Remake, Slither, and more) comes this new zombie video game.
One thing that sets this game apart is that its not all blood and gore. When killing zombies rainbows and pretty colors will burst out adding to the blood. This is purely down for a fun stylized form. As seen from the trailers linked later their is a grindhouse style to it with language and sex.
Story (what is known so far)Lollipop Chainsaw focuses on zombie hunter and cheerleader Juliet Starling (voiced by Tara Strong) who, along with members of her family and her boyfriend, a disembodied head, fight hordes of zombies in San Romero High School (fictional town in California), where Starling formerly cheered. The enemy zombies are led by "a group of zombie rock and roll lords". The zombie outbreak has been caused by Juliet's former classmate, an evil goth sorcerer named Swan.
GameplayIt has not been officially stated what type of game Lollipop Chainsaw is, but it appears to be a hack and slash akin to Suda's No More Heroes games. In the game, Juliet's main weapon will be her chainsaw, but she will also be able to use her acrobatic skills to kill zombies. When the player completes certain tasks in the game, Juliet's chainsaw will be upgraded. Suda has also said that part of the gameplay "might involve sound"
