[VGArabia] Bayonetta review: Action at its finest

December 21, 2009 in Reviews comments 12

Platinum Games upcoming game Bayonetta is shaping up to be a great action beat em up game. Wonder what makes this game a great experience? Check out this full review to find your answers.

Over the top action, Japanese pop music, and sexual themes are some of the things you are going to see in Bayonetta. Ok, we might have seen this before, so what is unique about Bayonetta then, you ask? The fact that Bayonetta has mixed these elements so brilliantly is a feat in its self, nothing feels forced, it’s all done naturally within the game. But this isn’t the full story here, playing Bayonetta makes you remember the fact that you are playing a videogame; it isn’t trying to be an epic movie, nor to be melodramatic.

    I would possibly like this game if it wasn't soo bloody ridiculous. I'm sure gameplay is good but it's not got a patch on DMC or GOW.

    I actually enjoyed the demo, even though the cutscenes were a little strange.

    I think the gameplay is mostly like DMC1, which is not really a bad thing.

    I think that the developers efforts to make the main character attractive have backfired. It seems that, instead of drawing people in, it's only made some people shun the game.

    I wouldn't say that it's game of the year material, but it seems like a fun game, judging from the demo.

      I enjoyed the demo too, but it was too ridiculous, and it felt like they trid to over-feminize the main character to the point where she just creeped me out.

    The release date has been broken in some places (see kotaku) so maybe some people can give us a better opinion. Oh and I think you got a little drool on your chin there immortal84

    To be a fanboy one must be a fan of something, and more often than not, so devoted to a company or something/someone that they often turn a blind eye to faults and such of that particular thing they are a fan of.

    Methinks that you have placed the word fanboy on us, when in fact YOU display more fanboyism by being a FAN of bayonetta and believing no one has a right to dislike it? Hmm . . . . food for thought there, my friend.

    I much preferred the Dante's Inferno demo over the Bayonetta one.Interest in Bayonetta, 1, interest in Dante's Inferno, 8.


    I actually find it funny that Bayonetta is to oversexed for me and far more oversexed than DI yet I highly doubt Bayonetta has nudity like DI.

    Dante's Inferno has more of an art nudity vibe whereas Bayonetta tries to flaunt nudity.

    The Bayonetta demo drove me so far from buying the game that just the hype of is makes me sick. It's sad that what could have been a create game was ruined by the imbalance of interests.

    Less Sex, More Death please!

    But you're not allowed to judge a game based on a demo, Aierou! It's forbidden!

    In this case, Aierou can make an exception.
