Outside of that I can't find much fault with Bayonetta. There are a couple technical issues, but nothing that hampered my experience in any way (screen tearing, most notably). It's such a fantastic game to start off the New Year with, and while I haven't been fully in love with Platinum Games previous efforts, they really knocked this one out of the park for me. I'm looking forward to checking out all the extra content the game is loaded with, and I can't wait to put more hours into improving my time, ranking, and finishing up the two harder difficulties down the road. Definitely one of the best titles you can purchase at the start of the year, and not a game that I think any video game fan should miss out on.

This is a rare game in which the flamboyancy of gameplay can not be outclassed by the cutscenes. Kicking an enemy into an iron maiden, crushing him in the teeth of a giant vice, and rupturing every artery with a gargantuan chainsaw (ala MadWorld) happens in visually orgasmic real-time. Unfortunately, the frenzied action and the camera’s eagerness to capture every scintillating detail clash with chaotic results. You may find yourself reduced to a pin-point at the foot of a boss or disoriented and vulnerable as the lens zooms in for a perfect butt-shot. It is rarely a problem due to the superb mechanics of combat, but distracting nonetheless.

Most of Bayonetta’s attacks consist of using her weapons which, in most cases, are a set of four double-barreled pistols. Though, as the game progresses, she can swap these out for specialized shotguns, swords, and other implements of death. As she kills Angels and collects butterfly items, she gains magic she can use for her Climax and Torture Attacks. When your bar is full enough you can perform a Torture Attack on common enemies which will, in most cases, kill them instantly. These attacks range widely and include everything from placing the enemy in an iron maiden, dropping a massive spiked wheel on them and grinding them into dust. Climax Attacks tend to be reserved for bosses and kill them instantly. In most cases Bayonetta strips practically bare and summons a huge monstrous head to eat the larger enemies and bosses in differing ways.
