Bayonetta...any thoughts on this game? I purchased both Devil May Cry 3 and 4 for PC but haven't gotten around to playing them. I will have a PS3 by January so I'm thinking about picking up this game. From what I've seen and read it sounds promising.

It looks pretty fun. It looks like a HUGE improvement over the last two DMC games which, while fun, haven't really aged well. DMC4 is fun but...really plain on every level. It's the kind of game that's fun enough to play but goes ignored in favor of other games that have more to offer.

Bayonetta has what looks to be a cool new mythos backing it as well as some interesting new dynamic combat mechanics.

The Demo is on the Japanese XBL so you can give it a try if you havent already.

I didnt think anyone on NICO would be interested in such an over the top action game.

I spent a good portion of the Demo in the train station just mashing buttons trying out new combos.The combat seems pretty damn deep.

Its not DMC4 deep, cuz Dante in DMC4 was ridiculous. But she has a decent moveset and could teach Dante a thing or two.

Ill probably only pick the game up much much later, cuz ive already got a bunch on my plate and dont feel like splurging too much.

I know this post is a couple months old, but I figured I'd give some insight. This game is fantastic. I've been playing it for the past few hours. Stuck on chapter 3 though. No idea how to get past this portal world. I can't see buying the game though. Most of my gaming is done online and seeing as how this is a 1 player game, I picked it up from gamefly so I can beat it and send it back. The only downside to the game is sometimes it gets way too close to your fighting that you can't see some of the guys getting ready to swing at you, which makes it impossible to dodge them.
