Lollipop chainsaw ending12/3/2023 ![]() ![]() After adapting to the controls in the prologue, we quickly took to mixing up the four face buttons to take down the growing monster hordes, and carving off limbs with Juliet's weapon of choice. It's the kind of out-there idea (Suda 51's take on the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" film) you'd expect from Grasshopper, and they delivered masterfully in that respect.Īt the start, the unambitious zombie-killing action is fun and easy to grasp. With the head of her decapitated boyfriend Nickie attached to her hip, Juliet cheerfully rips apart the undead legions with her trusty chainsaw and the demon hunting skills her family has known for generations. Juliet, a seemingly normal cheerleader at San Romero High, arrives at her school to celebrate her 18th birthday, only to find the learning establishment in ruins thanks to a zombie outbreak. Fortunately, he's the first of the Dark Purveyors to be slain, so he didn't spread the virus too far.Grasshopper's pedigree - 2011's Shadows of the Damned, the No More Heroes series - will grab many hardcore gamers' attention, if Lollipop Chainsaw's completely zany concept doesn't do it first. Zed sent Juliet flying to the junkyard and managed to beat her there, then used his super-speed to infect everyone within minutes and just waited for her. Even though he's one of the most popular boss fights in the game, everyone overlooks the sheer horror of his level. ![]() What happens if and when she gets bored or irritated with him? Juliet claims to love him, but she's a teenager with all the mood swings that implies. He's literally just a severed head, completely helpless, and at the mercy of whoever is currently holding him. Some deaths can cause a very depressing Game Over screen, such as one where Nick's head is sitting in front of her grave with a rose (she doesn't rise from her grave in this one), or if you die in the Prologue chapter, the Game Over screen only shows her arm coming out (Nick isn't present) while Nick says in a sad tone, "Juliet. Here, we see Juliet's zombified arm reach out from her grave for Nick's head, while Nick says that he wishes he could've protected her or something equally heartbreaking. Usually in zombie games, the Game Over screen just says "GAME OVER" or "YOU ARE DEAD." This game, however, is different. The Game Over screen is pretty unsettling.By the end of the game, she's slaughtered hundreds to thousands of zombies (many of whom were her classmates, friends and fellow cheerleaders) and she does it all with a smile on her face. She seems to have a lot of difficulty grasping the severity of the situation. The helicopter crash in the beginning - listening to the pilot screaming "Tell my wife I love her!" (which then degenerates into wet sounding crunches).The picture of him on Vikke's profile card is especially creepy. Heck, Rosalind herself may qualify - she seems a bit Ax-Crazy and Laughing Mad, and this was before her possession! Her treating Nick like a toy and less like a person just puts a point on it.His goofy appearance does little to offset the fuel. Just imagine what would've happened if Juliet had lost. His main goal is to wreck everything in sight. He has one main trait that distinguishes him from the other zombies (aside from looking like Elvis): he's huge. Pretty unsettling if you go a while without noticing. If you look closely at the loading screen for the Mushroom Samba portions of Mariska's level, you can make out her visage flashing in the center of the screen.It perfectly embodies a "bad trip", and just keeps getting more and more unnerving. Mariska's boss fight is possibly the creepiest part of the game.By the time "Rosalind" starts giggling in a horribly creepy fashion, you know something's definitely not right. I mean YOU." It then cuts to black as we hear everyone screaming, followed by a loud *CRUNCH*. ![]()
