Managing to save her boyfriend from suffering an undead fate, he now spends the entirety of the game as a decapitated head at Juliet’s hip. Not wanting to lose him, she uses some magic and her comically large chainsaw to decapitate him. During the process, her boyfriend Nick gets bitten by a zombie before she could prevent it. Romero, she gets caught in a zombie outbreak started by a mistreated goth kid. Attending San Romero High School, a nod to George A. She also happens to be part of a family of monster slayers. Lollipop Chainsaw’s story centered on Juliet Starling, a high school cheerleader that just turned 18 at the start of the game. The game would finally release worldwide in June 2012, bringing the insane zombie madness to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. There were several collaborations for extra costumes, including Highschool of the Dead, Deadman Wonderland, and even the Army of Darkness. Lollipop Chainsaw would also lean into the zombie theme during promotional periods. It’s the only video game on Gunn’s writing credits, but we feel like it would be great to see him write a new game. Showing him clips of a game with an unnamed beautiful blonde cheerleader killing zombies, blood and rainbow hearts were coming out of their wounds. Interactive Entertainment was already set to publish, and alongside Suda51, they reached out to James Gunn to get him involved. Part of the goal was to not hold back and make the game as extreme as possible, and it shows within the game.
Gunn even brought in his brother Sean and longtime friends Michael Rooker and Gregg Henry to provide voices in the game. Working with Masahiro Yuki, Gunn contributed his trademark humor and provided help to the actors with their roles. Suda51 and Tomo Ikeda were directing the game, seeing it as a funny game full of extreme twists, but what makes the game extra special is that James Gunn ( Slither, Dawn of the Dead) had a hand in writing the game (before his big breakout with Guardians of the Galaxy). The game was officially revealed the next year and even made a playable debut at PAX Prime 2011. Lollipop Chainsaw was first announced in 2010, though with only a vague description of a stylish action game. It’s a game I hold dear to my heart, and I’ve been looking forward to this Bring it Back feature. Of course, we’re talking about Lollipop Chainsaw! This strange yet peppy hack n’ slash action game gave a unique premise and an incredibly stylish thrill ride. This week, we take a look at a unique collaboration between Goichi Suda (Suda51) and filmmaker James Gunn. Last week, we put the spotlight on the long dormant Legacy of Kain series. It’s time for another Bring it Back Sunday, where we do a retrospective on games that we haven’t seen in a while.
