However, I would recommend getting this on other systems (Xbox 360/Xbox One backwards compatibility, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, or Steam) if possible, because the game on PS3 can run below 30 frames per second, and sometimes has a blurry, washed out look to it, alongside slower loading times (unless you install it to your hard drive). On other platforms, it runs at a solid 60 frames per second. It may have even resulted in me receiving unavoidable damage or deaths due to how laggy it can be. This lag can especially happen during some boss fights or certain sections of the game.
Despite this, I thought this was a great action game that I put over 50 hours into across multiple playthroughs, and got several of the trophies, as well. If you are a fan of other action game series (Devil May Cry, God of War, Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance, Darksiders, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Ninja Gaiden, and maybe even Nier Automata) then this game is for you, and is completely worth playing on any system you have access to play it on. This game may be around ten years at this point, but it has aged just as good as something like the older Devil May Cry games.
The character you control, Bayonetta, is a witch with a mysterious past. She's getting relentlessly attacked by angles and other heavenly forces, and it's up to her to fight back and destroy them in the most violent and creative ways possible. That's pretty much the gist of the narrative. There is a story here, but it almost seems to be intentionally convoluted, and also seems to purposely not take itself very seriously. Instead, the focus is on the fantastical individual events that display an absurd amount of humor, sexuality, and creativity. This is a game that delivers an onslaught of sense-overloading stimuli and never ceases to entertain. The level designs themselves begin with somewhat standard fare, but soon progress into epic set pieces that will have you stopping in your tracks, just to absorb everything that's going on around you. Your enemies are savage and ruthless, and give off an uncomfortable contradiction to their heavenly origins. The boss fights are some of the absolute best of this generation...absolutely epic and intimidating, and really give you a sense of accomplishment once you bring them down. Overall, the game is like nothing you've ever seen before. A real feast for the eyes and ears that at times borders on TOO much, but never crosses that line.
The heart and soul of Bayonetta is the combat. I could honestly take up the space of 3 or 4 full length reviews when discussing the incredible combat system of this game. In a nutshell, this game sets a new bar for depth , tightness of control, and just overall awesomeness to its fighting system. Throughout the game, you'll be able to acquire new weapons, techniques, and accessories, but what is really stunning is that almost everything is available to the player right at the beginning before they even realize it. Bayonetta's fighting techniques are seemingly infinite in the numbers of combinations you can execute and chain together in battle. You will be forced early on to master the dodging technique, as not only is it necessary to survive, but it also triggers a "Witch Time" mechanic that slows your enemies down and allows you to unleash brutal vengeance upon them. As you play through the game and your skills evolve, you'll start to realize that the more moves and combos you master, the LESS it is that you know about the combat. You will realize the incredible possibilities that Bayonetta is capable of, and this will encourage you to play through the game again and again. This is SO refreshing in an era where many similar games are way too button-mashy and don't reward/encourage skill and creativity in their combat. As an incentive to learn more, you are rewarded after each battle, based upon how well you performed, with currency to purchase items, power ups, and new techniques. The controls are wonderfully responsive. Bayonetta will do what you want her to do, when you want. And most importantly, it is always fun, no matter what style of fighting you choose to adopt. This is the best combat system I've ever experienced in a game of this genre, and that is saying a lot.
Not to say the game is completely without some minor flaws. There are some camera issues at times in the areas where Bayonetta is fighting enemies in more narrow corridors. One of the final stages of the game has some major control issues during a mind-tripping vertical walk across some disappearing/reappearing platforms. The colors can appear to be somewhat washed out in some areas, and screen tearing occurs at times (both of these issues are, from my understanding, only on the PS3 version of the game). But none of these issues are anything close to game-breaking. In fact, they're barely minor annoyances. You will be so wrapped up in this crazy game world, slaying the forces of heaven with the most badass fighter to ever grace a game of this type, getting completely caught up with the insanity taking place around you, and having an incredible time the whole way through. Platinum Games has won a spot in my heart for delivering this blood-pumping action masterpiece that surely goes down as one of the best in its genre. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
After some good reviews, and being familiar with platinum/sega games in the past (vanquish for example) how they are done well with action/speed/smooth/style I was a *little* hesitant to get Bayonetta but Vanquish had a unique Japanese game feel to it and watching a few trailers of Bayonetta this one was looking pretty good. I was sad to see Dreamcast die off many years ago but it's nice to see the Sega coming back with so many good games and I hope they continue to bring over more (YAKUZA KENZAN HELLO!!). Sega is a VERY GOOD video game company bringing over some pretty good ones! (Valkeria Chronicles/Yakuza/Vanquish/Bayonetta ect. ect.)
I'm not into gory/violent "god of war" type games so I was worried this would be sort of the same type, hack and slash repetitive nonsense...it took some getting used to the ultra combo move endings being bloody and violent but after a while I got used to it. **Just note you cannot turn off blood in the game** It's a game with a different twist, playing the dark side(usually I'm anti-dark games but this one is entertaining haha..). Like I mentioned before, I enjoy Japanese style games, and at first I thought this was done in cheesy American voice actors but from what I can tell, this is the same voice acting they used in Japan (weird..) since the Japan demo used the same audio. *shrugs* but the story/cut scenes almost remind me of a metal gear type story...excitement/suspense almost like a movie character fighting against it all but the story is on the wild side :)
I'm in Chapter 4 of the game and I'm still smiling since the first chapter, enjoying the game, playing on normal, and making sure I don't fly through the game real quick (spoiling my enjoyment) as Bayonetta jumps/walks walls/summons beasts and has a huge amount of control. Some sequences are HARD (nice to see hard games still out there). Very impressed with the quality of programming/level of detail. Very little slowdown and you just want to cheer on Bayonetta.
Those who have posted about the PS3 being the inferior or less quality is total junk. I have tried the demo on xbox.. very little or no difference. I have a 40" bravia 1080p and the game looks great! Smooth, fast loading (of course I downloaded the update) so I think you should be able to pick and choose what platform you're into (I'm a Sony guy..prefer the PS3 controller)
Just a warning, this game is sexed up - I love playing female characters; from female Shepard in Mass Effect 2 to now Bayonetta, not sure why..maybe I think it's sexy playing a strong female character but you wouldn't want your young children watching or playing this or just like a god of war series game even listening to some of the audio. Lots of sexy poses, hair flying, nudity and the major violence part..not to mention you deal with lots of dark characters, swearing (F-words and such) so it deserves the M rating for sure!
Overall I'm VERY happy with the purchase and I hope the ending is not a sad one..thank you Platinum games/Sega for bringing over a great game! If you're on the fence, it's so cheap now it's a no brainer!

Bayonetta is the story of a witch on a quest to regain her memories, but can't say much more without spoiling story too much. It has a fun combo system, and the enemies, which are all angels, still look holy, in a sense, but are still demonic to fight. Enemy design was well done, and very cool!
The game also a lot of little easter eggs and bonuses, things that actually can affect gameplay if you know about them, but are very hard to catch, but a nice bonus once you figure them out or learn them.
Overall, Bayonetta is an amazing game with beautiful graphics and a good story. I would recommend it to anyone who likes action and fun.
The gameplay is very smooth. You can string together some amazing combos once you get the hang of things. You can equip 2 sets of weapons to interchange during combos for even more variety. Each set a and b, have 2 weapons in it. One kind of weapon set to Bayonetta's feet the other to her hands. Some weapons are exclusive to her hands, like the swords. If you dodge an attack right before it would have hit you, you enter witch time [excluding some instances, like certain bosses] and this slows down time. In the case of enemies on fire, it allows you to physically attack them without taking damage. It also plays into some of the puzzles in the game. Later on you can buy an ability which lets you use witchtime if you get hit as well, you simply press the dodge button R2 right when you get hit. You transform into bats and avoid damage and go into witch time. which allows you to not be perfect. Accessories can also allow you to go into witch time when you get hit every time.
There's 2 modes for any beginner to easily pick up Bayonetta and play it. Very Easy and Easy. Each of these difficulties is part of the 'automatic mode' which allows less skilled players a chance to kick some butt with simply pressing one button. The option to use more than that is still there, but it makes it a lot easier for those who need it. So it's an accessible game for those who worry about difficulty. I personally found it quite challenging on just the normal setting.
The story is wacky and not to be taken seriously. If you go in with any seriousness, you're going to not like the characters or story. [like all Platinum Games/Clover Studios games really]. I personally enjoyed the story. I found it was different and that made it interesting to me. The music is love/hate. I personally loved it. It's a nice change of pace from other games. It has the epic boss music and the funky jazzy music.
This game is fantastic and really should be enjoyed by anyone who's interested in it. Regardless of platform, I think Bayonetta is one of the best games ever created. Especially in it's genre.
I am not a fan but seems great for those how like the type
