Bayonetta 360 reviewFollow

It's funny that you guys are getting up in arms at each other over Bayonetta.

I just got the actual game today. It's very true that in the beginning and the demo that it does in fact feel like a button mash fest, and there is a lot of crap going on that makes it confusing...

but the whole game isn't like that. I'm actually finding the gameplay very enjoyable. The combat itself is extremely dynamic... Bayonetta's fighting style is a lot like Eddy Gordo's in Tekken, only with guns attached to her feet and hands that are constantly spraying bullets everywhere. She can deal a lot of pain all around very quickly. Once you get used to the controls it becomes much less of a button mash and starts to feel graceful and stylish-- the way it feels when you get really good at a good fighting game with a certain character.

I can't think of anything else she looks like when fighting.

Also, be warned that this game is hard as ****Nintendo Hard. If it weren't for the unlimited continues it would feel a lot like the old Ninja Gaidan games on the NES (and kind of like the new ones as well)

The demo was easy. There are a lot of points in the game that feel like they would be impossible to do without dying at least once. You can't button mash and expect to win. You have to first get an understanding of how monsters (especially bosses) attack and move, then learn to counter each move they make. If that's still just "button mashing" then I guess it's time for them to hurry and come out with games we control with our minds.
