Bayonetta is a witch, suddenly awakened from a 20 year coma. As she is thrust into this world, with no memory of her past, she wages a battle upon the forces of Heaven and Hell. As she battles her with with fantastic combos and wicked weave and torture attacks, she must unravel her past.
Bayonetta 360 Combat System:
The combat system of Bayonetta is fantastic. Even after mastering many of the fundamental moves, you will find yourself flailing on the controls in tight spots just to see what happens. Dodging at the exact moment enables “Witch Time”, slowing down time and allowing you to dominate for about 10 seconds. Once the timing is mastered, this can be the determining factor in the harder battles. Using Torture Attacks, you can cause your enemies to drop weapons. Each of the Angel Weapons have different styles and combos. Unfortunately, each Angel Weapon can only be used a set number of attacks. It offers diversity however in how you choose to approach a fight, even if you have to do it over.
Graphically, Bayonetta is a feast for the eyes. Stunning visuals, in a world only Hideki Kamiya could imagine, battle fantastic creatures of the afterlife to find your destiny as a witch born from the powers of Light and Dark. The characters are more than imaginative if a little extreme in some parts, but add to the over the top feel of the story. Sound Effects and voice overs are pretty on the money for this style of game. Again, in these aspects you have to understand the creativity involved.
I give it an overall 8 out of 10!
