The light cel-shading matches the tone of the game perfectly, and adds some extra pop to an already unique looking game. Graphics: 4/5 Lollipop Chainsaw isn't the most amazing looking game on the market, but it's not meant to be. ![]() Without giving too much away, there is actually a legitimate reason people are becoming zombies and Juliet must defeat the forces of evil to prevent the total annihilation of all life on earth. ![]() On her 18th birthday, a zombie outbreak occurs, and San Romero High School appears to be ground zero. Juliet Starling is your average cheerleader, who also happens to be a chainsaw wielding zombie slayer. But Suda51/Gunn's take on it offers a campy Bruce Campbell twist in a market over-crowded with generic games. Concept/Story: 4/5 The zombie outbreak is not a new concept by any stretch of the imagination. Let me start by saying that this game is quite unlike any you have ever played. Lollipop Chainsaw is the latest offering from Grasshopper Manufacture's Goichi Suda, aka Suda51 (Killer7, No More Heroes, Shadows of the Damned), and writer James Gunn (Dawn of the Dead, Super). It’s stupid fun and they did it right, so check it out and enjoy! I’ve seen reviews knocking this game because they acted like this was supposed to be something serious. If you think watching a hot cheerleader running around with a chainsaw, cutting through hordes of undead zombies with a B rated taste of humor, this is for you my friend. This is getting a thumbs up from me, but I will say it is not for everyone. The music was also fun and fitting with classics like Lollipop, Mickey and a few metal choices like Arch Enemy and Five Finger Death Punch. The graphics were very nice in gameplay and each of the cut scenes with not a lot of loading time. The overall look and sound of this was awesome. The bosses on each level weren’t repetitive, which was a good thing from many of the games I’ve played recently, and all had their own unique style of trying to kill you whether it was from their vocals, synthtar or giant elephant robots…again this is a Japanese game. ![]() You have a few different diversities of them that can do special things like breathe fire or throw undead chickens at you. Each level is something different between playing baseball, being inside of a video game or running over enemies with a combine. This was a nice way to draw you out of the repetitive play and make it fun again. I did however enjoy the many mini games you find in each level. This can be fine the first few times, but it started to get a little annoying and dull. I was expecting a lot more combos and every time you get the sparkling hunter combo you go into slow motion. The gameplay may be its only real weak point however. Also, her chainsaw can be modified to fire bullets. Nick can also help you out even as a severed head by shaking him to get coins, throwing him at the enemy or plopping him on a zombie body to help you continue on. You can buy combos or upgrades throughout to increase your power. Lots of sexual references as well, and I was shocked to find out that this is a Japanese game *rolls eyes* Juliet loves to swing her chainsaw around killing her former classmates and friends in a bloody mess. The dialogue had a few remarks that even I found to be a bit disturbing, such as the woman saying she needs to change her tampon. I will tell you right now if you aren’t into those types of films, like Evil Dead, you might not like it because it’s very over the top. ![]() The whole storyline and dialogue within screams B movie horror material. An evil presence is engulfing the world right now and it’s up to Juliet, Nick, and her family to find out what’s going on. Did I happen to mention that her family is also a team of zombie hunters? Yes, Juliet, her three sisters, and their dad, love to kill zombies. She is a cheerleader for San Romero High, has an awesome boyfriend she can depend on, and lives with your typical family that you can depend on. Juliet Starling is your average teenage girl…and by average I mean she looks like she is twenty five. It was love at first sight, and now that I have the game it lived up to its expectations. Back in February when I first heard of Lollipop Chainsaw I didn’t know what to expect until I saw a short clip of Juliet running around with a chainsaw decapitating zombies.

On Nectar, one of the yet-to-be-announced tracks was produced when the artist was only sixteen years old. Joji is largely reticent about this period of his life, but it’s obvious his early prolificacy was formative. When it became clear that Miller’s previously announced project Chloe Burbank: Volume 1 would never come to fruition, supporters compiled their own versions, looping and editing leaks into quasi-mixtapes that still populate YouTube and SoundCloud. Songs like “Thom” and “You Suck Charlie” made the rounds through his fanbase. I just watch stuff here and there, when I can… I’m lucky that I still get to make music for people during these times, and I never want to take it for granted.”Įven before his 88Rising debut, “I Don’t Wanna Waste My Time”, stocks of Miller-produced tracks could be found across the Internet, forming a sort of hard currency for those desperate for what would become Joji content. “I’m hearing talking about music 24/7 as I work, so it’s important for me to do quiet activities. While he’s continually looking after those newfound friends and coworkers, for the time being, Joji is attempting to move his foot off the gas pedal, if only for a few moments. Originally from Osaka, Japan, Miller now splits his time between Brooklyn and Los Angeles, a divide that has rapidly expanded the circle of people working around him. “ sure everybody around me is taken care of,” he shares. His work ethic is undoubtedly feverish - Joji references his constant struggle to find time to produce alongside numerous late feature additions - but even in the lead up to his upcoming album, Nectar, his concerns are more local than global. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like much of the world, George Miller, better known by his stage moniker Joji, is lying low. ![]() ![]() ![]() You roll contested ability checks instead of aiming for a target Armor Class (AC).You can’t grapple a creature bigger than one size larger than you.It counts as an attack for the sake of spells and other features.It takes the place of an attack, so you choose to grapple with your Attack action.You need a free hand to attempt a grapple. ![]() Luckily, when you strip everything down to it’s core, grappling has six basic rules: There are some other intricacies which we’ll get to later in this article. Of course, that’s the most basic breakdown of how grappling works in 5e. Instead, you force an Ability Check contest between your Strength (Athletics) and the target creatures Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics). While grappling is a special melee attack, you don’t make an attack roll. You may only target a creature that is up to one size larger than you. The rules for grappling in 5e essentially outline how to make a special melee attack. If your roll is higher than your target’s, then you grapple that creature. To attempt a grapple, you must succeed by rolling a contested Ability check of your Strength (Athletics) against the target creature’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics). It lets you forego dealing damage in favor of holding an enemy in place. Grappling is a special attack you can do in D&D 5e. Let’s start things off at the beginning what is grappling in D&D 5e?
