I have a bit of a love / hate relationship with Bayonetta. On one hand I think it looks amazing and hella fun. But on the other hand, the game just stinks of Devil may cry. And I'm no fan of Devil may cry.
Despite Bayonetta essentially looking like Devil may cry with different characters, I'm a little drawn to it. Maybe it's the lead character being a female who can do flips, open her legs, make orgasmic moans as she impales the undead and strips off as she summons demons. Or perhaps it's the flair the game has. Hmmm... It's probably the female part. But Bayonetta is a game I'm now beginning to keep a keen eye on. I even downloaded the Devil may cry 4 demo thinking it'd be tangible. It wasn't, for the record. It was a waste of my bandwidth.
Famitsu recently reviewed the game and gave it a perfect 40 score. Well, the Xbox 360 version got a perfect 40 score. The PlayStation 3 version got a score of 38. Graphical differences and frame rate issues caused the Fammy reviewers to knock a couple of points off.
Bayonetta's gone from looking like a clone, to a stand out in its own right. Will I buy this, or won't I? I'm still on the fence on this one. But Bayonetta is a game I do genuinely want to play.
Once the demo hits the UK Xbox LIVE marketplace, I'll be sure to download it, and then take it all from there.
