First Impressions: Bayonetta (Tag Team Preview)

GrE writes, "For those that have not heard, Bayonetta is the action game that is already tearing up reviews overseas. It is like some sort of legalized crack for the folks in Japan, as they can't seem to get enough of this game. Well, now we get to dip our grubby little hands into the cookie jar to try out the demo. Did I mention this is some form of legal crack?

There are two modes to play this game. Easy has a majority of the combos done by pressing one button. Normal allows more control over all the chaos. Though there might be a learning curve, I HIGHLY recommend playing on normal. Once the combat system has been grasped, the fighting is almost as enjoyable as those special Jamaican brownies mom used to make! I have played the demo through a few times now, and I am still impressed at how simple, yet deeply complex, and satisfying the combat system actually is. This is the first hint at why this game has been so successful overseas..."

This game turning out to be really good is kind of a shock. Not what I expected.

bgrundman5995d ago

I want this to come out now... Damn you Modern Warfare 2, for scaring all the good releases away!

squif5995d ago

Don't worry... everyone is feeling your pain.

The Japanese PS3 version is awesome. Some minor load issues aside, the game is still fast and a ton of fun. The game's style is remarkable. I'm interested in the Xbox 360 version just to see the graphical differences and loading differences.

bgrundman5995d ago

Import this and you could be playing it a whole hell of alot sooner on PS3

squif5995d ago

making out my order right now, but I doubt the extra 20 bucks is worth it...

roblef5995d ago

The demo impressed me. Despite the "ooh look a a naked chick" revulsion I usually reserver for overly sexualized female avatars.

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP437d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot437d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2

Dying at 61 in Japan is too young.

jznrpg610d ago

I saw this on an anime site yesterday. She had an awesome voice. RIP

Chevalier610d ago

Major is definitely one of my all time favourite anime characters so this is really sad

FACTUAL evidence610d ago

Too many greats passed in 2024. Life is never promised. R.I.P
