BeWITCHIN' Good Looks and Moves: Bayonetta

Mighty mighty Boots 

Never underestimate a sweltering hot woman who has guns on her hands and boots especially when she's a witch. Along with her almost-unending long legs are ass-kickin' weapons only hell can offer.

Bayonetta is a hack and slash 3rd person game directed by the same man who directed Devil May Cry --- Kamiya Hideki.

In the game, you control Bayonetta (which btw reminds me of that French weapon 'bayonette') in a series of levels, helping her regain her lost memory after staying under a rock for 500 years (I actually meant 'SLEEPING').

She fights off angels and other heavenly-looking creatures with the use of her guns named Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, and Thyme (it seems she cooks offside eh?).

What was entertaining about this game was the number of possibilities for you to mix up all her moves, resulting to a lot combo strings and "Torture Attacks". Also, at every end of a level, medals are awarded to the player depending on how well he performed. Being the 'sister' game of DMC,

expect a lot of semblances from Dante's or Nero's combat moves. Another factor that binds Dante, Nero, and Bayonetta together is their level of HOTNESS :D

Very bad angels >__<

What got me hooked:
One would be the soundtrack. It was quite new to me for I never had thought of putting "Fly Me To The Moon" in a game.
What's more, it's Brenda Lee's cover. Very feminine and subtle, contrary to the game's nature. You can also hear female choirs all throughout the game. I personally thought that the game's OSTs were awesome :D

The fact that it's a hack and slash game immediately got me. I guess if you've loved DMC, you won't find it hard to actually get addicted to Bayonetta. There's always something about games with magic, spells, and demons that never failed to mesmerize and entertain, much of what Bayonetta did to me.

Torture Attack-ing

And oh, it's replayability is just epic. You can replay and replay even until your arse grows a beard :D

Areas for Improvement (AFIs):
This game rocks my socks if you ask me but I'll be blunt, there were times when the camera angling ticked me off. But I guess some people who are less-observant of this won't find it a nuisance, not unless they have very poor eyesight.

She carries that thing like a backpack >__<

On normal mode, the game got a bit hard (so much for the NORMAL mode) and I berated myself for not meeting the game's "NORMAL". Frustrations will come, I tell you. Like when in the first few levels you got a platinum medal then the following levels you earned fugly bronze and stone medals, you get really agitated and frustrated. This is THAT kind of game. If you want to keep up earning platinum medals, PLAY THE EASY MODE and just KICK ASS all throughout.

Verdict:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

Such a babe ♥

The art design, combos, weapons, plot, and the characters made this game awesome. Mad props to the genius behind this one hellavu game and of course, to the smexy smexy Bayonetta for being such an eye-candy to half-males like myself :D Watch out for her special attacks using her hair (IKR, hair?) that leaves almost nothing to our imagination ;p

Now, how about bringing Dante, Nero, Trish, and Bayonetta in one game huh? Worth trying? Or even imagining?

Please take note:
We are responsible gamers, therefore, we must
always make sure that games are child-appropriate.
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE GAMES.

THIS GAME HAS MATURE CONTENT.
