Bayonetta, great game or too much?

The advertisements just look weird. I have no idea what to think of it.

NonCon and Mirai have both played it, but they have quite opposite views on it. It's actually a very polarizing game content-wise, but I think most agree that the combat is good.

I only played the demo, after having seen various videos of it. Before playing it I thought it looked cheesy, embarassing, and tacky. After playing it I felt no different, except that I also felt incredibly cheapened, dirty, and not even vaguaely impressed by the combat.

I'll stick to DMC and GoW thanks

After playing the 360 demo and watching the Freelance Astronauts play the PS3 demo, I have decided that the ridiculous and very-prevalent action probably outweighs her tiny head and the silliness of the character designs. I may rent it first, though, to make sure the fun of the game play doesn't wear off too quickly.

You can read the review I wrote in full (and if you want to skip by me bitching about the absolutely terrible writing and direction just hit page down like four times) but basically Devil May Cry is better.

The combat's cluttered with all the flashy graphic effects, quick time events are fucking annoying, the combos are overwhelmingly complex and nearly identical in execution, and worst of all weapons are unlocked by forcing you to jump through increasingly difficult hoops.

And the cutscenes are just...embarrasingly bad. Like, it seriously capped out at 3/5 at the Dojo just from story and cutscenes.
