Platinum Games brought the SEGA's hack and slash action to the PS3 and X360. It was made by same director Hideki Kamiya who is the former Capcom's employee's and he is known creator for original Devil may cry who wanted to make a game that similar to his previous title. Bayonetta is a fast paced witch with badass double gun to shoot the crap of the evil angels. The story started happened after the 500 years, Bayonetta was revived 20 years ago which she has no memories in her past while she continues to fight the evil within. I say the characters are funny as hell, Luka has a lot of sense of humor and Bayonetta can be funny too when it comes with some of the cutscenes. The gameplay is outstanding for combat moves with awesome combos and some of techniques moves. The level puzzles is quite easy to solve the problem too and it has a epic boss fight in the game concidered to be one of the best boss fights seen so far, you may also go to gates of hell to upgrades your moves and weapons but you can buy items too, it helps the game played well done. The graphics has nice character design and stages but the problem was the color was look duller compared to X360 has a cleaner and glossy looking game was quite look better but just give a PS3 more credit for game design. The music and sounds is quite catchy for Japanese upbeat music, the voice acting is fitted well for characters and the sound effects is sounds very good. I say the special features is'nt enough, only has a gallery to unlock, can't they bring more than that. Sometimes the frame rate issue has a little bit problem in some of the chapters. It is annoying with the load times took a 30 sec to begin the game for PS3 version due to limited of the system compared to X360 has a better load times which only can take a 5 second to start the game, unless PS3 will get a free patch to install the game data which helps to reduce the load times which is no problem at all. So what can I say about this game, here is my bottom line.
Gameplay 9/10 - It has outstanding controls for combat system for combos and techniques moves.
Graphics 8/10 - Well it did a good job for PS3 version to make a nice characters design and stages but in my opinions, X360 has a better color and glossy looking game.
Music and Sounds 7.5/10 - It has a catchy Japanese music, great voice acting and very good sound effects.
Special Features 5.5/10 - Ummm only has a gallery to unlock, more please anybody.
Downside - PS3 gets problems with load times unless get a free patch to reduce the problems or get a X360 instead.
Frame rates is little bit slow down in some of the levels but not so much.
Overall 8/10 - Bayonetta is a good game, even the some of the flaws for PS3 version. If you have a PS3, buy this or if you hate the load times, get a X360 version instead.
