""Bayonetta's action unfolds in a very tongue-in-cheek way, with the title character blowing kisses at the screen and cheesy music playing in the background. The game definitely has a sense of humor about itself, but still manages to pack in a substantial amount of style.
The gameplay is noticeably similar to the Devil May Cry franchise, as Bayonetta combines a substantial amount of gunplay and melee combat, and some pretty awesome combos. Bayonetta can perform punches and kicks, as well as..."
"From now on, when you talk about the best combat system in an action-beat em up game, you have to forget about God of War, Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry and every other game; that’s because Bayonetta actually has the most responsive, enjoyable, varied and frantic battle system around and I will explain why after the jump."
At the Tokyo Game Show, Kotaku got their hands on the PS3 Bayonetta demo and, despite bad impressions a few weeks ago, it looks like the PS3 version's problems have mostly been fixd. Go to the source for the full article.
"While the 360 version on display looked crisp and smooth, the PS3 version was very blurry and the framerate was all over the place. During one portion of the demo, a crazy scene where you are jumping off of falling parts of a giant clock tower, it was often hard to keep track of the action because of the graphical issues on PS3."
Molotov Cupcake from Spawn Kill gives a sneak peak on the upcoming stylish action game, Bayonetta. Will it thrill or is it all hype and pretty faces?
"So we're Bayonetta in this city and we're kicking monsters and shooting things with our boot guns and all of a sudden this giant statue comes to life we're dodging and our clothes are disappearing and then there's lava everywhere so we run on the skyscrapers and fight angels and we're chased by a tsunami and then we're in a cathedral and there's a dragon coming through the window and we're fighting it and then it lifts off and it's flying and the cathedral is flying and everybody's flying and..."
Last week, we got to sit in on a private demo of Bayonetta with game director Hideki Kamiya and producer Yusuke Hashimoto. While Hashimoto spoke only once -- too correct their interpreter -- Kamiya was very forward with the game.
After watching the informative private demo, Kamiya answered a few questions about the game. What sort of extra content can we expect to get from this game? And why did he choose Bayonetta as the protagonist?
"The demo I got my hands on had two parts. The tutorial and a level where you fight both normal enemies and multiple bigger boss-like enemies. Yes, the game is over the top and if you don’t like ‘out there/goofy’ characters and stories then this game may not be for you. Though if you like great gameplay and a game with a sense of humor then this game is a must buy."
"Bayonetta is the latest title coming from Platinum Games, the all-star team of developers responsible for Wii’s gleefully violent MADWORLD, and directed by Hideki Kamiya, the pioneer that delivered the Devil May Cry series. The game was playable on the show floor at E3 2009, with a full level of hair-raisingly bizarre combat for attendants."
"Hideki Kamiya is no stranger to the action genre. With games like Devil May Cry and Okami under his belt, Kamiya and his team at PlatinumGames are tackling another stylish action outing in the form of Bayonetta for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This over-the-top gun-fest, which features one of the most insanely cool female characters in recent memory, feels a lot like the Devil May Cry franchise but boasts several unique elements. Our very own Cam Shea from the IGN Australia office wrote an..."
"Facts about Bayonetta:
-The right shoulder button dodges, by dodging at the last minute, Witch Time is triggered; this activates the purple world that can be seen in the newest trailer.
-You can practice combos during the loading screens; combos are listed on the side of the screen for the weapon you have equipped, and the amount of times you used those combos is listed as well. Loading times do not take long though, but you can opt to stay on the screen longer to practice by pressing a..."
"We finally set eyes on the God of War beater and we have one question: how much awesome can you fit into a game?

Whoever coined the expression 'hair of the dog', we're pretty sure they never, ever, thought the phrase would be used to describe this. 'This' being a 50-foot hell-beast summoned by you and formed out of the strands of your insanely long hair, that's currently chewing a massive boss like it was a 40oz steak.
Simply, it's Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden by way of The ..."
"As both a character and a game, Bayonetta is all about skipping the foreplay and getting straight to the climax – so we’ll make this quick. She’s a warrior witch who just happens to look like a porno secretary, and whose skin-tight leather catsuit just happens to be made of human hair. Not just any old hair, either, but her own supernatural beehive. Any time she needs to punch above her weight – which, given the size and number of her enemies, is pretty much always – she’ll flick her mane it ..."
