Bayonetta Video Game Review

Bayonetta is a game that will intrigue players just by its sheer sense of curiosity. It is a completely wacky game that tugs on every cord of imagination. The game revolves around a girl who must fight her way through the game in order to complete her mission. It is a game that will have you laughing and wondering at the same time, but in the end will have you love it to its core.

Bayonetta is not just a game that involves crazy scenes and unbelievable stunts and enemies; it also has a strong plot. Bayonetta herself is a witch that has been asleep for over five hundred years. She has waked from the bottom of the sea and has a memory that is a bit foggy. She can remember however, that she needs to find 'The eyes of the world` and through the help of an onlooker, discovers that she must head to a city called Vigrid to find them.

The journey begins as Bayonetta stands in front of a clock face with an army of enemies behind her. The clock face falls and crumbles off of a mountain top and slams on the ground, and that is the prelude to the rest of the game. The game drifts in and out of insanity, with crazy things happening all around her. And as insane as the game is, she fits into the role as in one scene; she stores a monster up in her hair.

The combating in the game is what sets it apart from the rest. The fighting fives you the ability to perform feats and be part of the magic of the game. You can use a powerful item concoction mode, a comprehensive scoring system with leader boards and a screen disguised as a practise mode.

Bayonetta is the ultimate fighter; she has four guns that she keeps tucked into her high heeled shoes! She uses her body to punch, kick and shoot her way through the enemies that lunge at her from every corner. She can also do special attacks and torture her enemies in the most gruesome ways. She can humiliate them and conjure up creative ways to inflict pain on them. Weapons and other items become unlocked as the game unfolds and progresses. There are also hidden items and secrets to uncover as you battle through the game.

The ability for Bayonetta to dodge attacks helps her score more points. The game takes into consideration how she avoids being targeting from enemies and credits her for those moves. As she dodges moves she can also unleash, mid combo attacks, combo attacks and she can enjoy the flexibility in her fighting and what she is able to do.

There is a nifty on screen move list to help guide you through the moves she can do while playing the game. The game is on normal difficulty and is challenging, however harder levels can be exposed as progress is made.

This game is truly a gem. Playing the role of a witch on a vengeance and on a mission to solve puzzles and learn the truth is a game that evokes curiosity and interest. It is a game where the sky is the limit and no act can look surprising, if this game doesn`t have you stoked it will at least give you shock value.
