Bayonetta Review

Post by Steve Farrelly @ 01:08pm 07/01/10 | 20 Comments

SEGA's much touted action romp joins Darksiders on store shelves across Australia today, and to help you make your buying decision we have an extensive review of the sultry game for you, right here on AusGamers.

While both games do actually have a lot in common, they're also very different; offering players of varying taste a choice between savoury and sweet, to form an appropriate analogy.

Bayonetta is one hell of a crazy game with an intense combat system, insane enemy design and a very sexy leading lady; it could very well be just what you're looking for in the lead up to February's big releases.

For the full run-down, check out our in-depth review.

Even with a 360 controller? The only difference is that I have a monitor rather than a TV.

i know the whole "its better on a console" argument should go back to cave paintings.
I hated tim schafer for selling out to consoles with Brutal Legend and said the game should only be played on console. f*** you tim schafer total douche.

Can't believe that argument, never have never will. It's just a matter of the developer to not be lazy and code for the PC's keyboard and mouse. Or advise that a controller with 360 or PS3 like controls is used. I've got one but have yet to find a game worth using it on.

i just finished batman AA on the PC last week. I had my 360 controller sitting there ready to go, but it work just fine with a keyboard on a mouse. They did a fantastic port.

On the other hand i fired up The Force Unleashed, that has horrible controls, ill need to give it a go with the xbox controller though.

I think it's preference, I don't think there's a more superior way to play; it boils down to the individual. For example, I prefer to play my action adventure games (of the third-person kind), from the comfort of my couch with a controller, FPS, I can go either way depending on the platform I get the game on... I think people need to become sponges with games, there's too much segregation and not enough hippie-like one-love (much as I hate hippies)

Im a PC fan when it comes to FPS games. Saying that i do not like Modern Warfare 2 on PC. I seriously cannot play the game because of the blur when you get hit, and the amount of blood that splashes up on the screen. I've only managed to get about 4 levels in because of this, evey time i try and sit down it just kills my eyes, i have to stop playing. This could be due to the monitor being so close to me. I might give it a bash with the xbox controller and sit right back, but i really dont want to stray away from the mouse and keyboard setup.

I am absolutely praying that Aliens Vs Predator will be amazing on PC. Because i will be buying it on PC :D

The movements are so bloody quick you don't really get to see nor enjoy the actions, it's all just a blur.. I'ved had so much expectation from this game, it's good I rented it first am not going to get this game for maybe months till it's a pre-owned and heavily discounted.

IMO having lgasses it makes her look LESS bad ass and more Lesbian/Librarian. Plus why would a witch with all these powers need glasses....has she not found a spell to give her better sight? Seriously, even contacts would be more versatile in the combat situations she is in every minute of the game.
I mean I know this is just a video game, but if there really was a demon slaying witch I doubt she'd need to wear glasses.

I won't be getting the game until I know you can take off the glasses with a cheat code or something. And before you all say I'm being silly, understand I f*****g HATE glasses.
I avoided girls with glasses all my life I'm not about to start now.

Weirdest rant I have read in quite some time.

I'm sure somewhere some girl is saying she has avoided all guys with Transformer references in their internet name so I guess it works both ways though.

I played the demo. I really liked it glasses and all. Will wait till it's cheaper though since i don't expect longevity from the game.
