Lollipop Chainsaw Meets The ESRB



If you've been following the Grasshopper Manufacture game 'Lollipop Chainsaw' then you know that it won't be for kids -- AT ALL! So now that the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB if you're cool) has gotten it's hands on it they went ahead and wrote a little summary about the game to warn parents.

To be frank this description would give a teenage male a heart attack it's so awesome.

Here is the ESRB summary:

This is an action game in which players assume the role of Juliet Starling, a zombie-hunting cheerleader who must prevent the apocalypse. Players use a chainsaw, explosive rounds, and special attacks (e.g., performing cheerleading routines; mowing down enemies with a crop harvester) to kill zombies in melee-style combat.

Some attacks (e.g., Sparkle Hunting Bonuses) require dispatching multiple zombies at once, and are highlighted by slow-motion effects and close-up camera angles. Cutscenes also depict over-the-top acts of violence: a zombie boss shooting himself in the head; characters getting sliced in half by chainsaws; Juliet punting a decapitated head in slow motion. Exaggerated blood splashes, dismemberment, and decapitation occur frequently. During the course of the game, players can dress Juliet in revealing outfits (e.g., Sexy Rider Suit, Sexy Seashell Bikini) that expose large amounts of cleavage and/or buttocks.

Numerous jokes in the dialogue and on-screen text also reference sexual material (e.g., “Officer Stephanie sometimes used her nightstick to pleasure herself to yearbook photos,” “[She] had ‘backdoor’ sex with over three hundred sailors back in the day,” “Is it normal to have an erection as you die?”). A variety of sequences allude to drug use (e.g., “Old McDonald’s been smoking too much weed,” and “[Influences:] Rick James, eight-foot piles of cocaine. . .”). The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “c*cksucker” can be heard in dialogue.

It's no surprise that 'Lollipop Chainsaw' (set to release on June 12) is rated M for Mature and contains Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, and Strong Language.

It's also no surprise that I've had my pre-order in for quite some time now.
