Another zombie-slaying game has been added to the list - previously populated with such popular titles as Left for Dead, Dead Rising and Resident Evil - but this game is different.

Colourful design; Funny dialogue

Short; Hack and slash gameplay is not polished

A whole lot of ideas are crammed into Lollipop Chainsaw 's six-hour-or-so runtime. Its backbone is a pulpy, goofball romance between barely-18 cheerleader heroine Juliet Starling and her wayward, torso-less love interest, Nick.

+ Incredibly clever soundtrack with silly licensed tunes that suit the game's theme perfectly, + Juliet and Co. are fantastically rendered in a cool, comic book–style aesthetic; plenty of collectibles to urge replaying the game

? Anyone else get the feeling that the entire Starling family is kind of dense

Juliet isn't having the best birthday. Sure, she's a chirpy, fresh-faced, popular 18-year-old cheerleader with a perfect body and a loving family, but her handsomely chiseled boyfriend has turned into a zombie, and things just aren't looking up.

To be honest what I approached " Lollipop Chainsaw " I really did not know what to expect but what I got was a mostly enjoyable experience. Admittedly the gameplay can be rather repetitive but thanks to the humour and good presentation this stops proceedings from being too dull and as a result what...

"Quick time events, man. I'm so sick of them." – Not2NerdyENT, in a YouTube video walkthrough of Lollipop Chainsaw (http://youtu.be/xWTCoMx-rqk) Lollipop Chainsaw is a difficult game to critique. It's not that the gameplay makes it difficult, it's that it seems unsure about what it wants to be.

Even for a budget title, Lollipop Chainsaw has plenty of shortcomings. Repetitive combat, bland levels and an insistence on sexual humour will leave many players disappointed. That said, it does produce a few moments worthy of your time.

Lollipop Chainsaw is an all-new third person action game, the ‘un-deadly' story of sweet and killer zombie hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak.
