The game is generally based around themes of American high school culture clichés and oldschool trashy zombie films, roughly stylized with comic book aesthetics. Themes were brought to life with a lot of humor and a chaotic, yet fun atmosphere.
The protagonist, Juliet is a full of life character who is a charmingly beautiful cheerleader, crazily in love (just like in movies) with her boyfriend Nick, a decent mannered handsome highschool football player. They make a great duo with their dialogues throughout the game. The couple flirt a lot and occasionally give references to pop culture music and movies just like how teenagers do in real life. The voiceactors did a great job. I liked James Gunn's writing too, although the story isn't trying to be the strongest part of this game. It is decent and good enough to fill the atmosphere.
Gameplay refreshes itself with new mechanics introduced to Juliet's chainsaw on every stage. The chainsaw feels great and combos look fascinating to the eye. Stages are designed very well and each level brings the player to a new place in town, accompanied with a boss at the end of them.
I can say production quality still live up to this date (keep in mind the resolution is 720p) despite some visual bugs and heavily jagged edges. Antialiasing could shine this game up very well. On the aging matter, I know there is a remake on the way this year. Still, I don't really trust the new approach since Suda51 and James Gunn weren't a part of it.
With personally being skeptic to a remake, I loved playing Lollipop Chainsaw and realised how much I love brainlessly chopping zombies when the game is well built with quality.
