Bayonetta
« on: January 10, 2010, 08:26:21 AM »
Oh my god. I am absolutely loving this game, epic is not a big enough word to describe it. There's something about it which just harkens back to the no-nonsense pure gameplay days of the arcades. And what makes it better are the sneaky references to other games. Riding a mototcycle at incredible speed to the music of Afterburner was just awesome, and when I got to the Space Harrier clone level with Space Harrier music and even some of the original sound effects (topped off with the boss music from Fantasy Zone) I nearly wet myself with joy. The game just gives you such a rush, it's been a long time since I finished a level in a game with my heart actually pounding hard (while not being frustrated by dying a few times). This is the best thing Sega have released in years, and a damn good reason to get a 360 if you're still on the fence.

Well shit.  Now I guess I need to get this game.  Though I will probably get the PS3 version unless the Xbox 360 is superior in some fashion.

The one thing about this game that really bothers me is how tiny her head is, but then again maybe that is a throwback to Altered Beast!

Yeah I looked it up and saw that same thing.  Guess I'll be looking for the 360 version.  Man, I haven't bought a 360 game in over 2 years!

I've ordered the 5 CD soundtrack now. Ah, there's nothing like beating up a load of angels to an J-poppy rendition of 'Fly me to the Moon'.

Damn! I didn't go for that one as I thought it would be really small, so I went for the art book (quite nice) and music CD (only about 20mins).

I've started playing Darksiders, and that makes me appreciate Bayonetta even more (although I already thought it was awesome).  I would actually say Bayonetta is the OPPOSITE of "epic", "legendary", et cetera.  It's just a game, and a damn good game at that.  It's totally the essence of pure gaming in a new-gen shell.  I actually wrote up a full review a few days back, which you can read right here.

My favorite part is how they blend all the references in without feeling like they're ripping anything else off.  Even if someone doesn't "get" a single reference, the game would still make sense.  Well, as much sense as it's possible for Bayonetta to make.....
