Lollipop Chainsaw Repop is odd title. It’s odd, as a result of I query its very existence. This can be a remaster of 2012 title that someway manages to be worse than the unique. So I gained’t bury it, this will get a YMMV with a seven back-end rating. It’s an honest title, however I’m undecided its price looking for out over scouring retro retailers or Ebay for the unique Lollipop Chainsaw. I personal the unique for the 360, and whereas I didn’t get previous stage one(because of enjoying on regular), I believe that was a greater title than this, which I performed via on straightforward. And now I’ll clarify why.
In Lollipop Chainsaw, you play as Juliet, a nubile cheerleader in a skimpy cheer main outfit chopping zombies up with an enormous chainsaw, oh and also you carry across the disembodied head of your boyfriend. There are six ranges, spanning highschool, to a farm, to an arcade. A lot of the ranges spice issues up, just like the arcade stage having arcade-game-like sections. Like an Elevator Motion part. The story is pretty easy and will get the job executed. The highlights of the sport are the boss battles, that are all musically themed. One boss is a viking metal-head in a flying viking ship. The farm stage contains a hippy enjoying a sitar. The ultimate boss is actually an enormous Elvis monster.
The unique contains a full licensed soundtrack. Lollipop Chainsaw Repop misplaced nearly all of the licensed music, to its detriment(besides Lollipop Lollipop). For instance, as you assault you construct up a meter that when full, unleashes a brief “super-mode.” Within the authentic, it performed Hey Mickey. Right here. its some generic Jpop. The sport additionally misplaced loading display screen music, for some purpose. The licensed soundtrack helped give the sport its allure, which is sadly lacking. There are different issues too. They switched engines for the sport and someway the sport seems worse. For instance, Juliet loses her breast jiggle, amongst different issues. Then stage 5 has severe audio points, whereas dialog not lining up, or crackling.
Lollipop Chainsaw continues to be enjoyable, if fairly quick, clocking in at six hours most. Its enjoyable for a play-through, although nothing you’ll come again to. And it’s wonderful, though I’ve to present the sting to the unique if for nothing greater than shedding that soundtrack hampers the sport. For those who should play, and have an older console, hunt down the unique. However in the event you don’t, this must do. A minimum of I’m not Kotaku, who appeared particularly harsh, most likely as a result of the sport contains a attractive heroine.
General: Lollipop Chainsaw Repop is serviceable remaster, however a lackluster soundtrack and different issues drag this down. I desire the unique.
Verdict: YMMV
