Bayonetta stabs stores Jan. 5

I was at a game show on Saturday, was lucky enough to play the 360 version. This game really is special, was blown away, as were many others. It stole the show.

The demo was meh. I'd rather spend my money on God Of War 3.

Thing is, I loved DMC1, then after that they just became stupid. One of the reasons why I love Bayonetta so much is that it gives me the same joy as DMC1 did all those years ago. And for anybody that thinks this is just another button masher, think again. I did a little test run and just mashed the buttons... and died prompty. Then I played again, using all of the techniques and combos I have learnt and got constant platinum medals. That's proof enough in my book.

Despite this game getting a perfect 40/40 from Famitsu. The game still needs all the luck it can get because in Jan Mass Effect 2 and MAG. On a personal note this game looks like DMC on steriods( I mean it in a good way)

I want you so bad baby............

@Triton Aw jeez, now I'm going to keep seeing Palin in tight leather (or less) when I play Bayonetta! I know it's Halloween but there are limits!! ;)

She looks like Sarah P...

I played the demo and it was much better than I expected. I'm quite impressed. It convinced me to get this game.

@Sonicplys LOL

yes its devil may cry 4 all over again..but damn it looks like its gonna be good!

Sarah Palin has a book coming up and now a video game?

First big release of the 2010s. The next decade is gonna kick off big early next year with all the 09 delays

90% of this games sales will be from asians.

i saw a quick look of this game and it looks pretty insane. i mean, she has machine guns on her shoes that she fires while doing a handstand!

Yes this is great, I've been waiting for this game for a long time.

Too bad the PS3 version wasn't made by Platinum Games, but by Sega and I was even gonna import the game, too bad now I'm not buying it because the PS3 version it's the inferior version.

Witch may Weep! LOL

shortest article...Ever can't wait tho And yes i usually look down on games that purely devote their strategy toward sex appeal, however when it simply is a bonus then there is no problem. For instance the Metal Gear Solid series has devotely done an adult poster motif throughout the series, but Kojima has made sure the gameplay and story could be able to stand on its own I actually think this game can do that so... yah skimmpy jumpsuit...err...hair thingy

Being a gamergirl, I agree with Dualmask to a certain extent. I just simply found it a bit boring to play a man protagonist. It's nice to see a female protagonist. My friend showed me the demo on PS3, I simply loved how Platinum games have done. From the environments, right down to the music. Chique, sexy, seductive and elegant in its own way.

I don't see how anyone can have a problem with a well-crafted, intensely action packed 3rd person twitch action game with perfect controls and great graphics just because it happens to use sex appeal in its character designs. Porn is a gratuitous display of sexual activity. Nudity itself isn't porn. Therefore, Bayonetta, while containing strong sexual content, is not porn. I for one am glad that developers are willing to push the envelope of character design this way...if I play another action game as some testosterone-fueled muscle-bound dude with a five o'clock shadow I might rip my hair out. And it's fueled by the Devil May Cry director, the guy responsible for the best 3D action games seen in gaming since 3D took over. What's not to like?

as soon as the prices drop i will buy this game

This game got a perfect score on Famitsu magazine...which means that I'm definitely getting this game.

nice

getting bayonattea i will probably get mass effect 2 as will because liking the first mass effact picked it up for £9.99 recently great game.

The release date is sooner than I expected. I can't wait for it to come to UK.

@Nodashi I've played the demo (got it via the Japanese PSN) And if you would cut away the whole naked witch thing you'd still have a VERY solid game. I honestly like the game for it's gameplay. I mean...this isn't like bikini zombie slayer...this game is not gonna suck.

Bring it.

awesome :3

Lovely !

I hope the bayonetta demo comes out soon.

He forgot to include Bioshock 2 in his list.

Looks okay.

This game is depressive in o many ways I'll not even try to list them here. But I'll say this - it will be FUN to watch the results for this piece of crap being delivered at the same Q1 2010 as SC2, Splinter Cell: Conviction and other... you know, real games. I really don't get why ANYONE buy things like this. They don't know any porn site? You don't have to play a god awfull game to see a pair of legs, you know.

if its anything like DMC i might have to pick it up.

waiting for this

Not sure how this game will do, but i hope it does well.

Like devil may cry only instead of a cool half demon bad a$$ you get to play as a sailor moon butterfly princess. I think I'll pass on this one.

Looks like I'll be playing this right before Mass Effect 2, while still playing Tekken6, Dragon Age and MW2. Great time to be a gamer! I love the months between Oct-Jan!!

Sooner than I expected. Too bad it comes out the day I go back to class, but I will still hopefully pick it up Day 1

*runs to GameStop for pre-order goodies*

I love me some Hideki Kamiya. Not sold on day one but definitely considering it.

It's funny when writers or journalists think they're being witty when they write something like "Bayonetta stabbing stores this Jan."

yeesh, ill pass. MASS EFFECT 2!!!!!!!

@ tu2pac Ummm no I can't believe it because I and neither have you played Bayonetta. \ \ Uncharted was good, it was even really good but it was almost the exact same game as the first one. \ \ It is one of the most respected magazines in the world for games. If they give it perfect then it is amazing end of story.

not looking forward to this at all, if i wanted a button masher i would play Devil May Cry. if i wanted a horny japanese kids wet dream i would play doa beach volleyball. i don't play either of those because that is not on my list of fun. to each their own.

yea i doubt it will be #1 but hey thanks to great marketing i think it will break the top 5

I'm pretty sure Mass Effect 2 will rule the leaderboards.

i've been waiting for this game
