GameArena: Bayonetta Review

When it comes down to it, probably the most important thing about Bayonetta is its genre. Bayonetta fits into the Extreme Action genre, the same genre as the well known titles Ninja Gaiden, God of War and Devil May Cry. The extreme action genre is known for its exceptional battle systems, massive screen filling enemies and stylish fighting. It can be divided further into Western and Japanese varieties, with titles like God of War championing the ranks of the Western side and Devil May Cry and its ilk representing Japan.

The Good bits
Giant variety of moves available from the beginning.
The core gameplay is the very best of its kind.
Easy and Very Easy modes make the game playable by anyone.

The Bad stuff
Unbearable soundtrack.
Preposterous storyline.
Poor characterisation.
The previous three points combine to make the game unplayable by any but fans of the extreme action genre.

hmmmm i guess everybody is going to call them PS3 fanboys

Baba19065594d ago

what the f???? this game never ever deserves a 5/10. this is jsut stupid. the music is amazing and character is one of the best i have ever played. i mean common what woman puts a gun in the face of a 4 year old child =D bayonetta rules it. Shure the story doesnt tell much but still. its pretty awesome. and you dont have to be a hardcore action fan you just have to be a gamefan.

pretty horrible review. he compares the game with scrubs, internet and itunes. i mean come on. really? how exactly are you going to combine those three to make it a game?

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.

-Foxtrot79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

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

SeTTriP78d 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.

-Foxtrot78d 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.

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

Chevalier252d 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
