In Bayonetta you are a witch who is as awesome as any female lead character in any video game has ever been. You have awoken after a 500 year “sleep” and you have no idea who or what you are. Over the course of the game as you dispatch foes in some of the most creative ways I have seen to date you start to get bits and pieces of your memory back. You remember that you are an Umbra Witches, who are followers of darkness and that you were at one point waged in a bloody battle with their counterparts, the Lumen Sages, who are followers of light. As the game plays out, you will find all the answers you seek and more and let me tell you its one non-stop action packed ride.
+4

On the other hand, it's good enough that it can stand apart from those games as well. … more

The Bad: * Button-mashing … more

Sometimes, being a good girlfriend means sitting on the couch and watching him play a game or playing a game together. I'm a moderate gamer; the new controls are generally more complicated than I'm willing to commit to. He is a hard core gamer. Some games are easier to watch than others, and some are easier to play. This review is not for the hard core gamer. This review is for the girlfriend (or boyfriend, who am I to judge?) that sits on the couch and watches. Before Bayonetta … more

About this video game
Blurring the borders of good and evil, this cinematic and stylized adventure stars Bayonetta, a heroine bent on sending supernatural forces to the depths of hell. Armed with her four enchanted guns known as Scarborough Fair, she battles both monstrous behemoths and angelic enemies. By combining special magic attacks, summoning primal forces and unleashing devastating weaponry, she impressively punishes anyone who gets in her way. From its fluid and intuitive combat system to its gripping story line, Bayonetta is one action thriller that won't disappoint.
