Too many other games to get (on ps3) and the game is slightly worse on ps3 which is really dissapointing.

Yes the graphics look washed out ..but the action/gameplay make up for it..
It really is a must play from beginning to end!

rented it games jus a button smasher with sub par story and at best average graphics.

They said if the PS3 was equal to the 360 version, they would have given it a 9+

The only people who hate on this game are Sony fanboys and people who don't enjoy fast-paced action games. Its hilarious how not even a PS site agrees with their idiocracy.

Sessler's not alone on the game i have it and i can say the same. Ive put a sht load of hrs into it, the game play is incredibly immersive and addicting. the game you wouldn't believe how better it is over devil may cry.

i know how some people are just reading a lot of these comments as just over hyping, it's cause they're spending too much time looking at the main character or the graphics. trying out the game is what most should be doing instead. they don't say never judge a book by it's cover for no reason. :)

'Bayonetta is a Pleasant Surprise'
says your lil' head from your pants O_O

SURPRISE is the keyword...you'd never guess from playing the demo or from seeing or hearing impressions instead of ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME how good the game is. The game is better than alot of games out now and it's one of the few multiplatform games I'd recommend to anyone.

He's absolutely right, it looks familiar and it is over-the-top...2 reasons that people shouldn't hate a game btw since everyone seems to love playing FPSs with mostly just a different skin mod, but you just have to get into the later levels. I'm serious..the demo was garbage compared to the rest of the game.

[AhmadVGArabia]

He has a good taste for games. Unlike most gamers nowadays.

[TehCell]

Better than GOW3 imo.

[Godmars290]

Sadly, only almost...

As for Bayonetta, it along with Darksiders are still on hold till the bargain bin.

[shadowwizard]

Am I the only one who thinks that Bayonetta is overrated as hell?

[rroded]

nope i finished it on normal terrible game wouldnt recommend it as a rental even...

[redsquad]

No, but we're an evil, terribly misguided minority (apparently)!

[GAMER NOT FANBOY]

i think adam smokes pot

[GAMER NOT FANBOY]

great game tho

[hoops]

This game is only hated by fanboys. It's one of the best games recently released.

[redsquad]

"Fanboys" of what, exactly?
I have to suddenly start liking a game that I have no interest in for fear of being branded a 'fanboy' by the gaming mafia?

extremely fun game, picked it up a couple weeks ago, haven't played any other game since then.

the game is so rewarding, the game is better than NG and far more than DMC4. the game is twice the length of DMC4 and has 3 times the amount of boss fights as well. plus it piratically has little to almost no backtracking, it's made up of constantly new ideas and places. the levels are plenty, long, and enjoyable.

in devil may cry 4 the levels are 12 minutes each (depending on how good you are) and you go over the same places twice with Nero and then again with Dante, what's worse is that Dante gets a shorter trip with slightly different bends in it.

what's dumb about the frequent same area trips, is that you end up replaying the same levels anyway just so you can purchase new moves.

anyways, it's amazing how these guys behind bayonetta were a simple croup of refugees from capcom, cause capcom just got their assess handed to them. sh!t, before i played the demo i wasn't even thinking of this game to get an 8/10. but this game is a definite must buy.
