forget the screen tearing and all the other differences, this game really isn't a 9.2 when compared to games that have received 9's last year and obviously the 9+ that came at the end of 09.

UC2, AC2, Bats, Borderlands, KZ2, inFamous, Halo ODST and numerous others received 9's.

This game doesn't meet the same standards that were made last year.
There are too many good games coming out and they all are not 9's (not even 7 or 8's) when those mentioned above are 9's (or adjusted high 8's)

It can't be good if the 360 version is better. Must be garbage. It's because of the conspiracy on the internet. They also put something in the swine flu vaccine to make people think that Bayonetta was good.

Dont go on about gamer zone when every comment you stealth troll anything bar the ps3.

Anywhom Bayonetta is a great game (at least on 360 according to reviewers) so pick it up!

I agree with the meta users Bayonetta is a 8.7/ 10 to me. The gameplay is amazing and probably the best of the genre, but the voice work and music are poor, and the game's style will be a huge turn off.

no, just...no

You can literally hold the block button through the entire God of War game without taking any damage. God of War is a huuuuuuge noob fest.

Good action and decent comedy, presented as sex, sells games.

"Its too easy. Nothing compared to God of War 2. If you think its a great action game with challenge you are obviously a noob to these types of games."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA!

THANKS FOR THE LAUGH N00B

Not including the right analog stick, I literally played through most of the game with the face buttons and r trigger. At least in GoW2 you used the analog stick to dodge which required you to cease attack. With bayonetta playing on hardest is easy. R trigger, buttonmash, r trigger, buttonmash. No need to cease attack. And the slow mo made everything way to convenient. If you play bayonetta with two hands, GoW is too hard for you.

You have just proven, with that statement, that you have NEVER played through even the entire first level of GOW1 or 2 or CoO.

Plz, GTFO.

@2.4

I'm sure YOU played GoW.

If "entire God of War game" means to you staying alive for 10 seconds then you're right.

"You can literally hold the block button through the entire God of War game without taking any damage"

This proves that you haven't even played GOW since there are numerous enemies that can break your guard. Stop lying.

You're 2.7 comment doesn't even make sense. Witch time(dodge attack mode or slow time) is a nice touch in Bayonetta and sometimes this is the only way to defeat enemies but the game is pretty deep and if you played it you should know you have to learn how to play the game as well mixing Witch time.

Not all creatures can be defeated by witch time, you still need to use the flee move(RT/R2) and the analog stick and learn some moves. Bayonetta is more layered because the game has much faster and smarter enemies, plus faster action in general.

Man, what's wrong with you people?

Stop fighting over the game already!

moneybuyseverything, I'm playing the PS3 version and it looks fine to me. You know why? Because I play games. I don't use magnifying glasses to see which pixel is more superior over the other. I also don't judge people just because they're not fond of the game.

Just like GOW III and Ninja Gaiden isn't for everyone, Bayonetta isn't for everyone. What kind of a sick, demented person would point fingers and accuse someone of being a fanboy just because they don't like the game.

I think this game is awesome and it's one of my favorite hack and slash games so far but I can RESPECT someone if the game isn't their taste.

All of you fanpeople are alike. It never ends with you people.

It's their opinion. Grow up man.

"Compared to Bayonetta, DMC, and Ninja Gaiden...God of War is a noobfest"

kind of ironic, don't you like MW2? with joking aside, what god of war lacks in depth for combat, it excels in a great story. bayonetta, DMC, and NG lack a real story to be engaged with and i only see those titles being fun for the fighting and that's it.

now if GOW had a lame story and the same fighting mechanics, then i'm sure no one would give a rat's ass about the series. luckily, that's not the case.

No doubt that God of War is the best hack and slash out there.
But it's obvious most you guys above are just supporting it because it's PS3 exclusive.
Hell, I bet most of you haven't played the first 2 God of Wars.

I have only play Bayonetta demo and it's true that the dodge button can make the game easy but to be honest, the game is extremely fast like Devil May Cry so it takes skill to press the dodge button on time. Just like in God of War, you have to press the defend button at the right time to counterattack.
