If you haven't been following me on twitter, then you might not know how awesome I think Bayonetta is. I just love how completely ridiculous the game looks, it's like they started it and somebody stopped checking on them then a few months later they had this conversation: Manager: "so whats with that DMC clone?" Developers: "well... about that... a few of the guys are recovering sex addicts... plus, that new you must be drunk policy we gave them... might have backfired" Manager: "lets see it... oh god... well the only way to 'fix' this is to make it more over the top and hope for a ban" Developers: "Yes sir, right away, sir" If you have not had the chance to get the demo from the Japanese PSN store, I highly recommend you stop reading right now and go and get it. The gameplay is fast, and furious. You do combos that are just a joy to execute and look amazing on screen. SEGA did a pretty great job of porting this over from the 360 version. Now, I know what you're saying. I've seen that trailer, it looks like nothing but crotch shots. I ask you, what's wrong with that? According to Famitsu, NOTHING. Famitsu just gave the 360 version a 40/40 and the PS3 version a 38/40. The discrepancy is in the port graphics. (Kotaku on Famitsu score: link). Devil May Cry was fun, the series lost me after the second one. This seems like it is once again genuine fun and I intend to really give it a go. Did I mention her outfit is actually her hair and it randomly leaves her semi-naked during combat? Bayonetta should hit japan this November and the states sometime in early 2010.
I want Bayonetta... NOW
