Maxim: Bayonetta Review

Maxim writes: "The Skinny: What do you get when you combine a supermodel-thin heroine with the moves of a stripper, a mish-mash of Heavenly Sword and Devil May Cry game play, and a war between heaven and hell? This game.

The Good: If this is just the beginning of what 2010 has in store for gamers, this year is going to be, as those cool indie kids say it, "hella good." Over the top combos, wicked great finishing maneuvers (dubbed "torture attacks"), and a somewhat coherent plot about celestial warfare are just a few reasons our reservations about Bayonetta (Devil May Cry rip-off, too crazy-Japanese for us Americans) withered away. The voice acting, littered with wry humor and sexual tention, is spot on and the action doesn't get too repetitive as new enemies and bosses pop up every few minutes to keep you on your toes. Plus, you haven't lived until you've seen a dragon made out of hair crush another dragon with its teeth."

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

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.

-Foxtrot478d ago

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

Dying at 61 in Japan is too young.

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

Chevalier651d ago

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

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