It is pretty close to hack-n-slash and it is pretty standard fare. I haven't tried it on easy difficulty, but I think I am going to because there are sections that end up being really difficult out of nowhere and that definitely takes away from the carnage. It is pretty simplistic but entertaining. There are different chainsaws that do different things. One is a gun, one lets you ride it like a motorcycle, etc... It got pretty lousy reviews, but I have had so much going on at work that I needed something pretty mindless and this fits the bill

A good time waster. My relaxation time is at the gun range, and I haven't had enough time for that either

Most of the really interesting looking games I want are all coming out next year...
