    Am I The Only One That Thinks This Game Is Average?

    The word around town is that Bayonetta is the first big hit of 2010.  Well you can imagine my dismay as put this bad girl into my console and really don't see any of the great things being said about it.  
     
    For a start the story is an absolute joke, the cut scenes are of Metal Gear proportions all be it dumbed down counterparts.   Yes its tru that the combat feels good, that's if you can actually see what is happening on the screen with so much visual rubbish flying around.
     
    In all honesty I do not see the appeal of this game at all and have given it several chances to change my mind, each time resulting in frustration  and lack of any interest to play on.
     
    No doubt this title will appeal to many gamers who are into the Devil May Cry gameplay, I just dont get it sorry.
     
    As it stands Baonetta is the first big "stay well clear" for 2010.

      Exciting, over the top, and incredibly satisfying 0

      Being the mastermind behind the original Devil May Cry and hence a pioneer of sorts of the "character action game", Hideki Kamiya had a lot to live up to with Bayonetta, the game that many consider the spiritual successor Devil May Cry. However, Bayonetta exceeds expectations by not only delivering a tight, well executed gameplay experience but also offering delightfully over the top and campy narrative filled with great tongue-in-cheek dialogue.  From the first moment you step foot into the wo...
