Bayonetta Review

Building off of the Devil May Cry, God of War, etc. formula, Bayonetta delivers an action packed experience. As far as action games of this caliber goes, it may just be the best of the lot. The fighting is a simple combination of kick, punch, shoot, dodge, so it's all about reaction time. What makes this game great is that it is refined, well paced, and has its share of epic moments where the player feels truly badass.

What lost it a point for me was the story that I didn't really care about and the music that didn't suit my tastes. Since neither of those really got in the way of the amount of fun I had I combined them for a -1. Also, having a highly sexualized woman lead and having to listen to a little girl cry, "Mummy! Mummy!" at the same time sometimes disturbed me, if nothing else did.

Tons of extras, plenty of homage to the games that it built on, and sonic rings make Bayonetta a must play game!

Bayonetta has to be one of the most well formed games i have played. This is inventive along the lines of god of war. Some of the dancing gets annoying at times but other than that a good mix of combos and weapons. This game makes you think as a player and does not allow you to button mash and be successful. The fighting style makes you pay attention to the entire way through. It was a very enjoyable game and would recommend that anyone that likes video games to play this game.

Great game! To tell you the truth I was a little skeptical of this game from all the mixed reviews it was getting but I just finished it and really enjoyed it. Definitely a rental because these kind of games don't have much replay value to me. The graphics looked pretty nice, overall challenging and entertaining giving it a 9/10.
