Played through the prologue and a bit of the first stage and I think this game is F***ing awesome! It's pretty much what House of the Dead would be if it was a hack n' slash game with a twisted sense of humor. Lolipop Chainsaw is part of a new genre that pays tribute to the B-Horror/Action Grind House films joining games such as Wet, Mad World, No More Heroes, House of the Dead: Overkill, Blood Will Tell, Samurai Western etc... While games usually have some far out $#!t happening, games like Lolipop Chainsaw as well as the ones previously mentioned help retain the movie art form known as Grind House.
So far this game has a b****ing soundtrack and is almost as good as Wet, it also compliments the atmosphere of the game extremely well. Combat is about the only thing that is simple at first but you also have the ability to buy new moves and combos although, I am still unsure of how much depth these upgrades will add to the combat. Also, this game oozes with replay value since it's arcade gameplay will satisfy most high score junkies. My game of the year so far. :wink:
