Baynette

Wow very adults only game! Just go's to show you SEGA is still in the game! Very button pusher and the action is so fast and cluttered sometimes can't see what's going on screen! But the most compelling part of the game is there well let's just say adult humor and certain people will probably be offended by it but I found it great I love the sense of humor definitely will be looking for the sequel!Read full review...

Despite some rough edges, it's good-looking and fun to play.

I've been playing games for 20 years, and I honestly can't think of one quite as insane as Bayonetta. The character and level designs are gorgeous. The bosses are ridiculously huge, and there's lots of them. The combos and special moves are wicked and fun to pull off. And I actually liked that the soundtrack wasn't the typical heavy metal. The story is a little hard to follow, but you can seriously skip the cut scenes and still have an amazing experience.

Now, I heard some negative things about this game before I bought it. The biggest one is that the Xbox version is far superior, allegedly. While I can't compare the two, I can honestly say I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the game. Yes, it has frequent load times. But, you know what? There's so much happening on the screen sometimes, I didn't mind the break. The graphics seemed a little low-res, but the inventive style more than made up for it. I will say, though, that if there is a sequel, I hope the PS3 port gets the development attention it deserves.

A couple other things to consider: You can beat the game on easy in 8 or 9 hours (the difficulty is set so easy means normal and normal means you'll throw your controller a lot). If you want tons of play time for your money, you may want to rent this instead. Also, I'm aware some people are saying that the game is offensive. While the female characters are hypersexual, I didn't see a huge difference between this and something like Tomb Raider.

Overall, I highly recommend this game. It's one of the most memorable I've played in a long time. The good stuff far outweighs the bad. There's a tsunami of amazing games gushing out this year, but don't overlook this one.Read full review...

Bayonetta **sexy voice**

I’ve always put off playing Bayonetta because of issues I’ve read about, such as slow downs and long loading times, on the PS3 version.
After all these years, I’ve learned that the developer has released a patch to fix the issues, and fix it they did. After installing the game into the PS3 hard drive, the game plays very smoothly with no noticeable slow downs.
The game is a work of art and fan service, an excellent balance of art style, unique story, and gameplay. The only gripe anyone would have with the game, after spoiling you with beautiful animated cinematics, it will present you afterwards with some cinematics that are static.
I’m looking forward to the sequel which will only be exclusive to the Wii-U. Nintendo produced the sequel, so there is little to no possibility that it will be ported to other consoles.
I’ve enjoyed Bayonetta enough for it to be a system mover for me, and the only reason I'm planning on getting a Wii-U is for Bayonetta 2.Read full review...

If you love hack & slash games, you will love this and thats about it.

If you looking for good storyline, dialogs and game that would make some sense you not going to find much here but if you looking for a good hack and slash game, than you will love it.

fighting system is similar to devil may cry if you have played it but it has alot more varieties with many different weapons and subweapons. Its an hack & slash with its own elements such as critical attack and witch time (slows down the enviorment and enemies action where you can beat them up easily for short period of time). if you love hack & slash games, than its alot more fun and enjoyable with extra submission and game its self gives you a decent amount of time to finish it. with varieties of weapons, you will be switching back and forth. on you way you will be collecting various items which you can use to create better items that can help you in tough situations. You can go back and replay to chapters if you missed anything, to collect items or farm enemies. The graphic is also good and smooth, with some good artwork and level creation.

But if you look beyond all this fighting, there isn't much. The story makes very little sense, with corny cut-scene and terrible dialogs. Some time you just going feel like muting the game or skip all the dialogs and scenes. Some of the level when playing, you will feel like there is no point to it or barely making any sense such as fighting on a flying missile. without any interesting plot and story, a game starts to get very boring. and it feels like one chapter is just coming after another and you just want it to end. it seems like that they overworked with character appearance and forget to set the game up properly.Read full review...

Plays like Devil May Cry with a bit of gusto and finesse.

Your a witch with a suit made of hair! Game play is similar to the Devil MAy Cry series but also offers its own unique elements. As players progress in the game more powerful weapons/spells become available. In short, if you liked the DMC games this one will be fun to play.Read full review...

Gorgeous, stylish, entertaining and deliciously unique!

Overall, Bayonetta is gorgeous, stylish, entertaining and deliciously unique. To say that it is my favorite action game yet is an understatement. Kamiya and his team at Platinum Games deserve a round of applause (and perhaps a few platonic hugs) for their incredible work on this project. Bayonetta will remind you how cool videogames can be.

8.0 Presentation
Incredible style mixes with a fantastic backstory. Mildly hampered by low-budget filmstrip cutscenes and a loose plot.
9.0 Graphics
Bayonetta is an extremely good-looking game, both in terms of its art design and visuals.
9.0 Sound
Irresistible mix of upbeat jazz with intensely serious choirs. Voice acting is a bit campy but still extremely enjoyable.
9.5 Gameplay
Bayonetta has one of the best combat systems I've ever experienced. Fluid, fun and unique.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
Bayonetta was designed for multiple playthroughs. Chapters can be replayed at any time upon completion and there's plenty to unlock and purchase even after you've beaten the game.

9.5 Incredible OVERALL

This game is available for sale in my eBay store at a good price:

Great start to a great series

Great game and it was in great condition

graphics are awesome, lack of substance. Pretty game, thats it.

pros
Graphics are amazing. the concept is original. Definately not for kids though lol.
storyline and concepts are original, never seen em in a game before. love the wardrobe.
love her taunts, hilarious, kinda corny.
lots of attacking combinations, love the critcal spell things she does, entertaining.

cons
kinda tedious, the game is mostly just eye candy as far as graphics goes. no serious storyline to speak of. kinda reminds me of final fantasy x-2 in that way, definitely a gal game. or pervy men LOL.
Online multiplayer not available, strictly single playerRead full review...
