Somewhat obtrusive camera; short first campaign.
Bayonetta is quite simply, and dare I say it, the pinnacle of the action genre: beautiful visuals, a remarkable soundtrack, and a highly involved combat system. Finally a game of this caliber comes a long that requires the player to maintain some degre...

We first saw Bayonetta in action at a private demo in SEGA's 2008 Electronic Entertainment Expo booth. The game looked stunning and centered mainly around watching a raven-haired witch's rear-end, clad in black leather, glisten as she walked around sho...

Awful camera system and minimal instructions.
Bayonetta is a charming and highly stylized third-person shooter with very easy to pick-up controls. To boot, the game features a stunning heroine and all-around great visuals. However, it's camera system is severely flawed and new players might feel...

Bayonetta's brand of ostentatious hack and slash really is an acquired taste. It's garish, knowingly insane action demanding suspension of disbelief for the duration. Attempting to apply logic to Bayonetta would be like trying to teach English to a dog...

In the first five minutes of Bayonetta, the titular (yeah, I know you're snickering) femme fatale -- dressed quite conservatively in an ivory-colored nun's habit -- prays quietly at a rainy graveyard. But within seconds, she shatters that tranquility a...
Impetuous style; so-cheesy-it's-awesome storyline; frenetic, engaging combat.
Half-assed quick-time events; camera focuses on the spectacle instead of the gameplay.

Bravo, PlatinumGames. You've made a game and created a heroine that gives Dante a reason to cry.

Bayonetta is essentially a sequel masquerading as an original game. It's not a "nice first attempt." It's not short. It's not a foundation lacking features and variety and whatever else reviewers like to complain about. It has the kind of heft usually...

Bayonetta is the best action game I've ever played. When I say "action game," I refer of course to games like Devil May Cry, God of War and Ninja Gaiden. I think most gamers can agree that all these titles do similar things (despite their notable diffe...
Although Bayonetta has more than a few similarities to Devil May Cry, I wholeheartedly believe that this game is a must-play. Buyers beware, however: the 360 version is vastly superior to the PS3 version on a technical level, so PS3 owners fortunate en...

The combat system is just about perfect and the boss encounters are memorable.
It pushes the sex angle too far; the story makes absolutely no sense; and the game drags on longer than it should.
