PS3 Review – Bayonetta
While the game’s graphics are good, they aren’t anything great. They are next gen graphics, sure, but they are not as impressive as they could be. While Bayonetta and the main characters and enemies look great, the background graphics are often simple in design, and the textures look like first-gen PS3 title textures.
Overall, Bayonetta is a great game that’s a blast to play. If you’re a fan of Hideki Kamayi’s past titles, then you’re going to feel at home here. Just make sure you bring a ton of patience with you, because with those load times, you’re going to need it. Thankfully, Bayonetta has enough badass moments and enough jaw-dropping gameplay to keep you hooked for the 10 hour campaign. If you’re looking for a quality action/adventure game, then Bayonetta is hard to pass up. Give it a go if you’re looking for a good time, because you never know…you just might be Bayonetta’s type.
This guy is Bayonetta's type! LUCKY!

Fantastic and fun gameplay Uneven difficulty makes things frustrating at times Horrible load times keep this game from perfection |  |

Hopefully this will make a big enough stir to stop developers from even considering porting. Just shows how a great game can be ruined by porting. I wont even consider buying it because of the PS3 problems.
the game looks interesting.. will be giving it a rental
great review i agree..
except on the part that the 360 and PS3 version, you didn’t see the color difference. its like night and day .. ive seen them both on 1 TV and sadly, the PS3 version looks likes it has a dark filter added to it. because of this, is why im skipping Bayoneta on PS3.
I don’t know about the color, I’ve seen the same thing, and it wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be. It’s just my opinion, but there were only certain scenes where it really made a difference.
I played the demo and loved it. I sat on the tutorial screen and learned every combo….
I highly recommend at least renting this to anyone who loves fighting games, the variation is intense and incredibly well done.
nice work once again
good review dude, youre right the load times are really annoying and the frame rate can really suck at times
Shame for the issues. Great review. I’m personally looking forward to God of War 3 in replacement.
It is a great game, lots of great action and fun weapons. Theres a good amount of stuff to do but the story can seem a tad short. Great game tho.
good review…looking forward
this game is indeed good although the load times are horrible specially when going into your inventory
My question is why the hell hasn’t Sega released a patch or update yet??
Sega wonders why people look down upon them now-a-days. This is one reason why. My how the mighty have fallen…
a great review man. ive played the demo and wasnt all that impressed but i might actually just give this game a second chance.
lol I just saw my pic in there, haha I must have missed this because it was my birthday that night…LOL @ the caption. Anyway I definitely gotta put this game on my GameFly queue at the very least.
Took you long enough, Paulmichael!! Sorry..when I was browsing through the gallery, I just couldn’t resist. Just a little PSLS fun!

I bought this game from Amazon for $20 a few months back, haven’t beaten it but will try to beat it. I really loved the DMC games from Capcom and this pretty much fills the void.

You blame SEGA… I blame Platinum Games for not caring enough to do the PS3 port themselves.
