You know, when this was first announced I just didn’t get it.  Then a couple of months ago I saw that it was Suda 51.  Suddenly everything fell into place.

Haha yeah Suda51 sure had made a name for himself for making games that are “out there”!
Last I read was that he’s now CEO of over 140 employees at Grasshopper studio, so he must be doing something right.

Clearly.  It’s not my cup of tea, but I’m all about people who want to shake up the norm every now and then.  It keeps things interesting when everything else gets same-y.  Suda 51 has a history of doing just that and I applaud him for it.  Were this anyone else I might see Lollipop Chainsaw as a cheap excuse to play off the oversexualized cheerleader archetype in an effort to make a quick buck.  From him though, you know that the cheerleader trope is not all the game will have going for it.

I will certainly be looking for reviews following the game’s release.  Suda 51 has enough of my respect that I can’t find it in me to completely dismiss the title wholesale … even if that was originally my gut reaction to do that.  I will say that I’m not particularly fond of most of the advertising I’ve seen for the game,  BUT quite a few of my favorite games suffered from atrocious market schemes.  I am also, I do not think, the intended demographic here so that could also be part of the issue.  In the end, bad marketing =/= bad game, so the possibility that the game will be amazing is certainly possible.
