 Taking Heck&Slash to a whole new level July 14, 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.

This is one of the best games of this generation... Totally recommendable for action-games lovers as myself ;-)
The best hack and slash of this generation July 8, 2010
M. Hines
Bayonetta is definitely a peculiar game. I have to admit I was skeptical of the source material the first time I laid eyes on trailers and gameplay videos. But, I decided to try this game based upon some incredibly high reviews and a sale Amazon had a couple of weeks ago. Boy, am I glad I did.
Bayonetta is an Umbra witch, who seems to have forgotten her past and is searching for "The Eyes of the World". In the game, you fight the angels of Paradiso while on a quest to find the eyes. The story is almost irrelevant as it is so ridiculous you will pass it off as just something attatched to the gameplay. Its not bad, and the voice acting is rather good, while the story itself is so whimsical and silly you accept it as just the developers having some fun.
However, the gameplay is where its at. The game uses a ranking system to rank each battle based on damage, combos, item use etc. These battles affect the amount of "Halos" you recieve(think Sonic rings) which are used as a currency to buy items, accessories and other moves. And you will want to replay these battles so that you can perfect them and earn more halos because the fighting is just so much fun. Its a mix of Ninja Gaiden/Devil May Cry, but with extra flash and pizazz (and a little bit of sexual innuendo). The controls are responsive and easy to pick up. The game can feel button mashy if your just trying to reach the end of the game, but if you want to perfect these battles and earn Platinum rewards, your going to have to learn the combos and dodge alot of enemy hits.
So ultimately, if your a fan of Ninja Gaiden, God of War or Devil May Cry, you owe it to yourself to try out this game. The source material and wackiness of it may turn you off at first, but the gameplay is so tight that the story tends to not matter. Happy Angel slaying!
A Highly Entertaining Original Game June 23, 2010
Krobie79 (Washington, DC)
Bayonetta is a great action game that smoothly mixes style with substance. The battles are based on timing and skill and make you feel empowered. The control scheme is easy to quickly master. The camera can be annoying sometimes, but succeeds in giving the game a cinematic quality. The main characters are stylish, funny, and totally over the top and are brought to life with entertaining cut scenes. The Boss battles are memorable and epic in scale with multiple parts. Finally, the soundtrack is wonderful and has a light feel. I still hum the main theme. If you like action games, you will love Bayonetta!
