Bayonetta

The Good
This game has incredible graphics and highly creative art design. The characters, enemies, weapons, and items are all lavishly designed.

The cutscenes are amazing spectacles (no pun intended) to behold, and the dialog is often saucy and fun.

The main element that makes gameplay fun is Witch Time. When she dodges an enemy's attack at the last second, Bayonetta can slow down time for her enemies, giving her the opportunity to retaliate or prey on them. This also helps to make the game fair, yet challenging.

The music is nice. The game has its own version of "Fly Me to the Moon" that is cued during certain battles and moments. The sound effects and voice acting are nice as well.

The game contains many references to other games that the developers have worked on in their careers.

The Bad
The story is muddled and poorly explained.

The game feels a little short. In the end, you'll want more!

Sometimes, the game throws you into situations that you won't feel fully prepared for. This is as close as the game gets to being frustrating.

The Bottom Line
Bayonetta is a great action game. It's better than Devil May Cry and Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden. The difficulty level on Normal is more fair than either of those games, too. But the game is still challenging, and mostly enjoyably so. There was never a point in the game where I felt I was in an impossible situation.

Bayonetta feels like a game that was made entirely with awesomeness and fun in mind, and it almost completely delivers, throughout its entire gameplay length. It feels like the game that everyone involved has always wanted to make.

Bayonetta is a game that deserves to be played and cherished by those who love action games, and games that are crazy and over-the-top. Buy it, and maybe one day, we'll get a worthy sequel. Send SEGA and Platinum Games a message with your money.

The Good
What can I say about Bayonetta, it definitely deserves a "Dante" moment! I like the PS3 version of Bayonetta. With incredible non-stop gameplay from shooting dastardly enemies to huge bosses, the music is pure energy, the "Witch Time" is high voltage, and one smokin' hot saucy witch pounds the Hack N' Slash genre since "Devil May Cry" and "Bloodrayne" all have in common. I hope Sega's putting good money on making a "Bayonetta" sequel. The story is amazing and I gotta give props to Hideki Kamiya taking a bigger step of hardcore gaming that we can still play for quite hours.

The Bad
There were a little bit flaws in the game including loading times that wants you to make half a minute so that you can go on to the next level or so, the death scenes were annoying, and I kinda dislike the mini-game "Angel Attack" where you shoot all the angels at once and get a perfect score if you beat all angels at one shot. Also, level design is far great, but misses.

The Bottom Line
If you haven't picked up Bayonetta, go get it! I'm serious. You are gonna feel the experience of one of the sexiest innovative game a geek always wants. Bayonetta is my new favorite character and my future wife! I'm gonna be crazy, so let's go crazy! The best game of 2010, Bayonetta.
