If you missed the original announcement last year, here's the breakdown: Lollipop Chainsaw is described as "a piece of 'pop' zombie entertainment" that stars a scantily clad cheerleader in a US high school chopping zombies to pieces using a chainsaw. Sold.

"Actually I've wanted to do a crazy horror-action game like this set in a school for a while now," Suda said last year. "Something where the classrooms, corridors, gymnasium and so on are suddenly transformed into something completely different."

According to Famitsu the game's Premium Edition will allow players to switch between Japanese and English voiceovers and adjust the level of gore.

Grasshopper's secured Warner Bros. Interactive as the overseas publisher for Lollipop Chainsaw.

    You may not have noticed my avatar but the plugging has already begun, just you wait til it gets an EU release date, I'm going pre-emptive on this mutha :P

    Oh dont you worry Dodo i've noticed, keeping an eye on it myself, looks like it should be a blast :D . Do like it when a developer has an blueprint and sticks to it...mind you capcom probably do that aswell, they wanna destroy Resident Evil's earliest fans with RE6 and i'm sure they can achieve that..... hmm sorry got a bit carried away there with a lil rant.

    Back on topic, buy the fudging game, the DODO has commanded you to. 8)

    Hold on a darn minute.............

    DODO plays one non triple A game last year and now suddenly he's the champion of the core game is he????

    Unbelievable......... I shall remember to ask for your help dodo next time 90% of the readership are giving me crap about reccomending a jap game over the usual slew of fps games and yearly sports updates.

    Oh it will fall on deaf ears but buy malicious on the ps3 if you like over the top crazy games, its been out in japan since last year and we FINALLY got it today on the network.

    Trust the Japanese to make bulls**t games like this, no wonder their games industry is going down faster than an Amsterdam whore.

    You go for it DODO....... You can be the face of wrecked as well it seems.........

    Bandwagon, on, jump (re-arrange as you see fit)

    It must be great to be so loved by people with the attention span of a fish.. lol lol

    This just makes my eventual destruction of you on WRECKED so much sweeter buddy.

    Oh yeah the moron who spoke badly about jap games needs to die, slowly painfully and taking as many family members with him as possible, people that stupid should never breed or be seen to exist, its one thing to say that the jap development community needs to change to compete and another to just rip it apart for no other reason than they dont make stuff you can play because you lack any sort of skill outside of team deathmatch on low iq wargames (thats right i said it.... What????)

    The world is full of idiots............. Still i'm always gonna need those folk to bring me my cheeseburger and fries at Burger King

    If WRECKED was actually coming out then I might be panicing out right now but it isn't because, like The Last Guardian, it doesn't actually exist.
