 PS3 Lollipop Chainsaw Premium Edition - New Import

From the Publisher
   Lollipop Chainsaw is the 'un-deadly' story of sweet and killer zombie-hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak. With her wickedly awesome chainsaw in hand, Juliet slices, dices and splits her way through hordes of the undead, but soon realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to kill the chainsaw-wielding cheerleader. Lollipop Chainsaw is being developed by Grasshoper Manufacture, led by celebrated game developer Goichi Suda (aka SUDA 51) and featuring the musical compositions of the renowned Akira Yamaoka. In addition, Hollywood director and writer James Gunn (Super, Slither, Dawn of the Dead, Tromeo and Juliet) has brought his cult humor and edgy storytelling to Lollipop Chainsaw's script.
  • Juliet Starling is an 18-year-old student with a dark secret- zombie-hunting with a killer chainsaw in hand. Juliet must balance the drama of high school while carrying out her zombie-hunting lineage.
  • Celebrated game developer SUDA 51 brings his unique creative style and vision to the gameplay design, taking players through a wild ride of zombies, chainsaws, and rainbows.
  • Through an adapted script by James Gunn, Juliet must uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak at her school, San Romero High, but soon realizes the horde is only the opening act to a festival of zombie rock lords determined to take her down.
  • Players will hone their cheerleading acrobatics and chainsaw skills to string together devastating combo moves, taking out hordes of the undead.
  • San Romero High's zombie jocks and undead faculty are the least of Juliet's concerns when she soon realizes that she faces a bigger challenge, zombie rock lords that add a new 'beat' to SUDA 51's over-the-top boss battles.
   The Premium Edition of Lollipop Chainsaw for the Japanese Playstation 3 includes both the D-rated (censored) version of the game and the Z-rated uncensored edition and includes an English language option for voices.

NCS Product Synopsis
 
 «©NCSX» In the year 201X, a coven of vampires has descended upon Akihabara, Tokyo.

Unlike the rest of the Japanese natives however, the vampires - known as the Kaguyashi - burn when their naked skin is exposed to sunlight. That's where you come in, a high-school-aged protagonist who gets embroiled in vampire drama and has to grab, snatch, and tear the clothes off the vamps in order to burn them from the face of the earth. The game is played in interactive sequences, exploration scenarios, and action-packed hand-to-hand combat interludes with ripping of clothes.
