 One Great Sexy Game September 6, 2010
Ker Thao (Saint Paul, MN USA)
Bayonetta is about a witch who awakens from a long slumber and tries to uncover her past. The gameplay is great, the fighting is simple to pull off. The story is presented well. For the story it is presented in CG scenes and kind of like a no movement movie frame thing. Anyways Bayonetta is a fun and sexy adventure nobody should miss.
What a woman!!! August 24, 2010

The game is just a jewel.
For those who are looking for fan service, youve got it here. The story is pretty interesting.
The moves are just amazing, she's got many combos, abilities and magical powers.
The design of the game is really appreciated. The character is pretty funny and lovable.
People who likes anime, specially men, must own this game in their collection.
I only regret the game for PS3 is not the same as Xbox 360, It seems the game was designed originally to the Xbox 360 and then it was ported to PS3. This caused the graphics looks poor in the PS3 console.
I recommend to buy this game for Xbox if you have the console. In other case, you can try it in the PS3, but youre warned about the graphics.
Great Action Game August 17, 2010

Just typed a long review that got lost somehow. Not in the mood to retype it, so you get this short, lame review.
This game has a ton of action (some of it over-the-top), an entertaining story (unfolds like a modern movie), witty dialogue (lots of sexual innuendo), and plenty to do to keep you busy for a while (if you go after trophies).
If you like the above mentioned things, I'd highly recommend this game.
Best Heck&Slash 2010. Period. July 23, 2010
Devendra S. Mistry (San Diego, CA USA)

I am a huge fan of Devil May Cry game and heck&slash genre. Since Bayonetta is created by Hideki Kamiya, the creator of the original Devil May Cry and the inventor of the heck and slash genre, I felt obligated to try Bayonetta out. Simply put, the game just blew my mind and here is why.
-EXTREMELY DEEP AND ELEGANT COMBAT SYSTEM: Just like devil may cry games, this game has amazing combat system. You will be amazed by how many different types of combos you can pull of using hand to hand as well as weapon combats. Furthermore, as you master these combos, you will enjoy this game more and more. Normal and difficult modes of this game are mainly designed for people who take joy in mastering and exploring different combos and use them to punish enemies; however, if you are a button masher don't worry. Easy and very easy mode will take you through the game, performing various combos by the taps of the same button.
-LODS AND LODS OF WELL DESIGNED WEAPONS: In this game you have access to 11 or so special weapons that are specifically made for Bayonetta throughout the game and 4 or more special weapons you can unlock by meeting certain requirement. You will also have access to 7 or more enemies weapons. You can equip two sets of weapons at the same time so there is a lot to experiment by pairing different weapons to punish enemies.
-EPIC BOSS BATTLES: To me a game is no good if it does not have good bosses. Fortunately this game has plenty of awesome boss fights. God of War and Devil May Cry games are my favorite games of all times because of the boss battles, but some boss battles in Bayonetta even goes beyond any God of War or Devil May Cry game. Unfortunately, I can not tell you about some of the most spectacular boss battles without spoiling the experience.
-VARIETY OF ENEMIES: So many games these days have the same enemies over and over again. Not Bayonetta though. It will start with some relatively easy enemies, but as you further progress in the games, the enemies will get stronger, harder, faster and more interesting. Again, can't tell you more without spoiling the content.
-AMAZING SUMMONS: With difficult enemies and bosses, you need strong moves to finish them, right? No worries, Bayonetta can summon 10 (if not more) ridiculously powerful monsters from Hell to finish off your opponents. As you progress further and further into the game, Bayonetta will summon more and more stronger monsters. Believe me there is no better way to finish a battle than annihilate your opponent using these creatures.
-SPECTACULAR LEVEL DESIGNS: Different levels/stages in this game are very well designed. Most game you are standing on flat land from beginning to the end. Not in Bayonetta though. You will be walking on the walls, running on the ceilings, jumping from a chunk of a land flying in space to other, surfing in the ocean and everything that you never imagine a game could make you do. THE BEST PART HERE, the camera angles changes accordingly, so it doesn't confuse you and allows you to make the best move possible. I just loved the whole experience.
-TRANSFORMATION ABILITIES: Being a witch, Bayonetta can transform into lightning fast panther, elusive bats or flying crow. These transformations are extremely useful in the combat. Being able to transform into bats right as an enemy hits you to evade his attack, JUST PRICELESS.
-WITCH TIME: Another great feature of the game. Dodging an enemy attack at the right time slows time and gives you upper hand to punish the enemy making the gameplay so much more enjoyable.
-VARIETY OF GAMEPLAY: While majority of game is heck and slash fighting, you will also be doing cool things like riding bike and other things (really don't want to spoil it more). At the end of each level, you will get to play mini game called Angel Attack. This keeps the gameplay experience fresh and prevent the game from being redundant.
-DECENT STORY: While it is not the strongest element of this game, it has fairly decent humorous story. Under most scenarios due to cultural differences, sense of humor is very different in Japanese games from the Westen games. Honestly for me though, different jokes in the games made me laugh hard. Cinematic were decent and if you want detailed version of the story, there are plenty of documents you have access to throughout the game.
-PLENTY OF UNLOCKABLES AND GREAT RE-PLAYABILITY: There are a lot of accessories (helps you with combat), combat moves, characters, weapons and costumes you can unlock in the game by spending halos you get from defeating enemies. Plus, there are hard and extra hard modes to the game. It will be difficult if not impossible to unlock everything on your first playthrough. Good thing here is you can keep all the things you have unlocked and use them when you play the game again and unlock more awesome items. This truly adds replayability value to the game.
Now like many of you the first time I saw Bayonetta, I was like what the hell is this creature? After playing this game, it totally makes sense to me. She is designed in this particular way because she is a witch and to appreciate the beauty of this design, YOU MUST PLAY THIS GAME.
So all and all this game will make you go through the experiences you will not see coming and before you know it, it will get you addicted. BELIEVE ME, I JUST FINISHED IT FOR THE FORTH TIME.
Action will never be the same! July 21, 2010
Shoju0099
Wow, this game is so different from the Devil May Cry series and fans of that series will love the little tid bits of homage it pays to our favorite Devil Hunter. Pure action, this game really kicks up the ass kicking to a whole new level. There are so many ways to whoop on your enemies in this game that it almost seems unfair to them. But after you die in one spot 4 times you lose all sympathy in an instant. Sure the story is a little bit all over the place but it is still entertaining, it's like playing an over the top action popcorn flick and its all at your finger tips. The different combinations of how to setup your weapons really caters your playing style where as in Devil May Cry there really wasn't room for a whole lot of variety. I recently beat it last week and I haven't even attempted getting the secret weapons yet. Nor have I played through hard mode yet which for sanity's sake I might hold off on. I have one gripe about this game, some levels can get a little annoying after a while certain themed levels. Besides that different sections of the levels called verses can be uneven in difficulty especially when you first start out. You may feel you have a handle on the difficulty then one section just continues to knock you out over and over. That may get discouraging but when you finally beat it you realize you were fighting that enemy the wrong way or that the new weapon you unlocked may make that encounter easier later. But for all that negative this still stands out as probably one of the coolest and most creative action games I've played in a long time. The cut scenes are a work of Gun Fu art, and I thought when Devil May Cry 3 came out those few years ago cut scenes couldn't get any more enjoyable or ridiculous. I'd definitely say that Bayonetta is one cool chick and is a new player in comparing who could kick whose ass in those video game/anime debates. I'd say there is a character now who could take on Dante and that nasty vampire Alucard. On a side note this game actually runs in 1080p something I was quite shocked with, great graphics awesome combos relentless action Bayonetta needs to be in your video game catalog. If you're on the fence about getting it get off that fence and fly yourself to the moon with some ass kicking action. Happy Gaming and here's hoping the sequel is in the works couldn't be happier with my purchase.
