Watch This Bonkers Lollipop Chainsaw Launch Trailer

Super sweet

by Sammy Barker Tue 12th Jun 2012

At one point in this Lollipop Chainsaw launch trailer, protagonist Juliet Starling cuts a UFO in half. That’s pretty weird – but we should probably point out that the alien space shuttle is being piloted by an undead funkster who laments his mortality through an autotune module. Brilliant.

Fix your eyeballs on the video below for a further helping of wackiness. The full game’s due out this week in Europe and North America.

Went with Gravity Rush instead of this game but I have to say this does look like a lot of fun and if I can get the money together I'll definitely pick it up. No More Heroes was a blast so I expect that I'd enjoy this as well.

Don't get me wrong I think this will be a fun game, but I got the feeling it will get old fast. I just don't see much replay value here, which is a big selling point for me when it comes to buying games. I might rent it...

@Splat I haven't played it, but I think you might be probably right. Still, I love that Suda gets away with making these kind of games.

@Splat as a current owner of this game, I don't see much in the way of replay value unless you're an achievement hunter or want to stay on top of the leaderboards. I played last night for a few hours and I believe I'm about 3/5 of the way through it. Once I complete it, I'll probably replay a few of the stages to find those elusive collectible lollipop flavors, zombie pics, and cell phone messages from the family but after that my hopes lie with some sort of DLC to keep the fun going.

And OMFG Zombie Basketball had me RAGING last night, but where else could you play a game where you have to decapitate "x" number of zombie heads and toss them through a basketball hoop?
