Lollipop Chainsaw: Buy or wait?

[Necrosaro]

I don't generally buy stuff Day 1 unless it's a game I know I definitely want, as was the case with Catherine for me. Or, it's a particular genre or developer I want to support, like Xenoblade Chronicles, which I bought Day 1 despite not owning a Wii, because I want to let NoA know that RPGs have a place on their consoles too. I don't want Zelda ad nauseum despite how much I like the series.

In Lollipop Chainsaw's case, money's tight, and like I said, I was on the fence about this one. I'll get it eventually when I have the funds for it (and it really doesn't help that my high school's 20th reunion is upcoming).

The game is just a lesser NMH with a chick

I'd say wait.  Like noise said, Amazon had it for $45 pre-launch, and I think it will hit $40 MSRP by the end of July.

It one of the first games I've pre-ordered in a LONG time.  Can't remember the last one (if there was one).  I haven't been disappointed.  It's a great button masher and overall pretty good humor in the game.  Sparkle Power for the win!

I played it for around an hour at a friends house. I got bored pretty quick with it's *quirkly* setting and limited moves/scenarios. Just play God Of War and wait for the price to tumble when it gets traded in. Sidenote : does anyone else appreciate the satire in people flocking to anything with zombies in it?

well zombie-as-symbol-of consumer was kind of the point of Dawn of the Dead so...

my wife ended up buying this for me this week. It's a lot of fun. Kind of like No More Heroes without the odd-job sidequests. Or really, it's like Oneechanbara but with far more dept to the fighting moves. I'm really enjoying it.
