Bayonetta is a "non-stop action game" from PlatinumGames. The titular character is a witch who can use hair-based magic, as well as firearms attached to her feet, to battle fallen angels and other foes.
My opinion of Bayonetta has improved a lot since it was first announced. At first it seemed like they were just going for DMC4 + a sexy lady (which in this case I don't find the least bit sexy... but that's beside the point).
Now I see it's DMC4 + extra crazy, which is a very positive thing.
I was excited for this game at first, but the more I see of it, the more my excitement gets squashed. Fifteen minutes of pure nonsense, topped off with a female character that's just there to get a boner out of 13 year olds. This game is starting to look like some kind of fetish rather than an actual game.
I could not have wished for this game to turn out any better then this. I'm absolutely amazed by how this game is 110 Percent everything that i want out of a game. The over the top combat, the cheeky undertones, the gorgeous gorgeous music, absolutely stunning! I do not own either 360 or PS3 but getting one just became so so so incredibly tempting, I can't wait to play this game. Having that brilliantly crafted version of Fly Me to the Moon play there was an absolutely wonderful surprise.
Yeah, as I've said elsewhere, I really want this game to (a) be awesome and (b) do well. But I'm hells of worried that it won't be either, despite what I've seen. I guess I'm just figuring it just can't live up the the crazy in the gameplay department. But if it does... hooboy.
Oh, and the presentation is top notch. The font used in those great tombstone credits is delightfully oldskool horror.
