GAME » Reviews
Bayonetta is a "non-stop action game" from PlatinumGames. The titular character is a witch who can use hair-based magic, as well as firearms attached to her feet, to battle fallen angels and other foes.

"Much of the potential of Bayonetta--potential that's realized on the Xbox 360--is lost to technical issues on the PS3."

Daughter of Sun and War

(8 hours, 52 minutes and 38 seconds on the save file for New Game Plus, many Verses missed of course. Played on Switch in handheld mode with Japanese voice and text.) Allow me to lead with a secret of… Read more

She Should Have Been A Pole Dancer

This game is insane. Totally batshit, hair raisingly insane. The game is filled with exhilarating action and spontaneous set pieces worthy of some of the finest action games out there. But along with… Read more

Tough,Fun and Slightly Sexy

For the people at home who want an easy game, I don't recommend Bayonetta . This game is a challenge to say the least, but you get pretty damn good fairly quickly. But as I said, for about the first c… Read more

Aiming for the stars

It would be foolish to bring up character action games without praising Viewtiful Joe and Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya ; without him, I’m not sure the genre would’ve flowered as much as it has… Read more

It's insane. Absolutely Insane.

I know the game came out in 2010, but I just played it this year due to finding it in a bargain bin for 5 bucks. Bayonetta is a really strange game. I'm not talking about the ludicrous main character… Read more

Bayonetta

It would be hard for a video game to be more ridiculous than Bayonetta without becoming intolerable. Plenty of games have gone in a similar direction with over-the-top action sequences and absurd stor… Read more

Bayonetta Review: So good even a devil may cry

Bayonetta is a successor to Devil May Cry. It is also presented in a more fun and far more insane way then Devil May Cry ever was. The titular character is basically a dominatrix librarian with guns o… Read more

An awesome beat 'em up game.

Bayonetta is a beat 'em up game that was just released this January. You primarily play as a witch named Bayonetta, who actually doesn't look like or act like a stereotypical witch. You can also use h… Read more

Insanely fun

I can't explain Bayonetta, and it’s very difficult to sum up my experience with the game. I was originally put off by the character 'Bayonetta', at first she seemed like a cheap gimmick aimed at lurin… Read more

As long as there's music, I'll keep on dancing.

Describing the world of Bayonetta in any way that makes sense would require a whole lot more familiarity and understanding of just what the heck is happening in that game than I posses, so I'm just go… Read more

Nothing special

End of 2010 is closing and Bayonetta keeps on popping up on various top 10 games of the year list. My Bayonetta copy has been sitting on the shelf for months and seeing how few actual 2010 titles my o… Read more

Sometimes enough is enough.

Bayonetta is like a really good friend who doesn't get the hint. They tell a joke that goes on for far longer than it should. Other times, they tell a joke that makes you say, "whoa, slow down there b… Read more

Amazing.

Best action game I've played since DMC3. It's amazing, and one of the great Japanese made games this gen that do more than upgrade the graphics on an essentially PS2-era game. I laughed, I cried, I ra… Read more

By - Craig H. "What the...?" will be the first thought going through your head when you get started with Bayonetta. Bayonetta is insane and does not shy away from it. It is over-the-top from the main… Read more

Look past the sex to the awesome game at it's core

+'s Fantastic main character Bayonetta is like some 8 foot tall super woman with a slightly too small head and way too long legs. Strangely, if you look at her, she looks good but if you really take t… Read more

Spectacular or spectacle?

Bayonetta is a spectacle of a game. The title character is a witch whose power originates from her hair, which is long enough to cover her whole body in a rigid, skin-tight suit. Let me just repeat th… Read more

The PS3 Version Should Have Never Been Made

In the words of Bayonetta herself, "Mwah"
