Gamersyde Bayonetta Review: "The new reigning king of the modern Beat'Em All genre"

27
Gamersyde writes: "Despite some weaker parts and a technical side not always at the top, Bayonetta easily becomes the new reigning king of the modern Beat'Em All genre. With a gameplay as deep as it is easy to understand, an incredibly varied arsenal and numerous enemies and bosses, Platinum released here nothing less than THE new reference. A game that no player that considers himself a gamer should miss."

Hit the jump for the rest.

Kamiya doesn't make bad games, he just sets new standards.

Agreed. He just doesnt run his mouth like.. *looks at Ninja Gaiden's dev* .. he'll hurt me if i say it

DMC has been one of the most epic action games.. now he has taken it to a new level.
Though I do wish to see Dante again

MEH!

Too late for the "new king". Money is already on other games and I dont support shoddy ports. Bargain bin for me.

"The new reigning king of the modern Beat'Em All genre" well, that's a big tittle

@raztad

It'll not have a HUGE difference, well if we based on Famitsu, but I hope is as good as possible

@sikbeta

Visuals may not be that different but still the framerate dipping lower than 30fps is unacceptable. My previous comment was not out of hate, money is really tight and I'd would prefer to get some other games like DAO/ACII by january and save some for GoW3. Besides, I can't support Platinum laziness and lies buying this game full price. Bargain bin or second hand.

1.7 - Very True
Kamiya always sets new standards with his games, and it's because him and his team are one of the few develepors who aren't afraid to take risks.

Bayonetta has great gameplay, but it's not the king. Played the demo it was good, played God of War demo it was amazing the best game of it's genre by a LARGE margin. Bayonetta has pushed its way into the top 5 hack and slash, but not number one until we see the story and more.

God of War is boring. All you have to do is press box, box, triangle, and you win every battle with the exception of the QTEs of course.

@raztad

Platinum's lies? when did they lie??

laziness?? They are a small studio, unable to afford PS3 development, that's why they asked sega to do the port, even Platinum admits that, if you played the demo, you would see the "converted by sega" thing at the end...

If you have no clue about the studio you're talking about, you should just not post bullcrap.

This game is epic...its unfortunate that the ps3 version isn't quite as good as its counterpart, but that shouldn't stop everyone from checking this game out.

I would have preferred the game had it not had a really weird camera at times.

Can't wait for the game. Loved the demo on PS3, dissapointed it's apparantly not up to par with the 360 version but it's far from unplayable.

The game is just batsh!t crazy, definitely my sort of thing and being a huge fan of DMC, NG and GoW (DMC before the others if truth be told) the moves are way over the top, inside out and upside down!

Such an early 2010 release is also great, there's usually such a dry spell at the beginning of the year this will be perfect!
