Well considering it isn't your native language I'd say good writing then

After that great read, I'm gonna check the game out for sure. I'm really turned off by the crap-ass character designs and overly silly storyline, but the gameplay just sounds way too good to pass up.

Looking forward to seeing first hand why people are so hyped about this game. The frequent checkpoints alone will make this game a lot less annoying than the others in this category.

Great review Blim. Definitely gonna get this game now.

Also, you write better English than most English people, so don't worry about it.

BlimBlim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take that haters Bayonetta its "THE new reference" bow to your queen!!

I love you all but I love Bayonetta more!!!!

Good review. Started to download the movies. No spoilers, right?

not too bad considering english isn't your native tongue. Keep'em coming.

That's fine. Thanks.
Can't wait for my import copy to arrive. Should be here any day now.

Hey BlimBlim how long took you to finish the game?

Oh thanks a lot,that means easy a 15 hour for me that I like to take my time and find everything possible.

=)

Superb. Thanks Blim

Great review! While I'm not going to stroke your ego and say that the technical aspects of your writing are, well, lacking, I will praise the structure and content of your review. I appreciate that you included videos of each of your main topics (which I assume you captured specifically for your review). This is a vast improvement over many on-line game video reviews, which often rely on stock footage from the game studio or publisher, which would never, e.g., show how bad the tearing in the game gets.

I also think it is important to compare a game like this to other benchmarks in its genre, like DMC or NG--and not to just say that they're like them. You included some good details on how Bayonetta uses elements from those games while improving on them.

Lastly, let me say that I think all game reviewers should take a week after playing a game they really like to write about it. It's not that your ebullience is insincere—but it does cloud anyone's representation of what they love. That is, assuming game reporting should be as objective as the degree to which other forms of reportage aspire. But your fawning for the game overshadows (I think) some of the valid criticisms you offer of the game, which, in time or from the perspective of someone who doesn't share your love of the game, may take on greater importance than what you seem to give them here. But you are not alone in this. All positive reviews come off sounding like love-notes. (That's why Zero Punctuation is so popular, methinks. His vitriol counterbalances some of the industry's self-infatuation.)

Nonetheless, your review has got me seriously considering the purchase of this game. The videos are incredible and sell me completely. (Even "not always smooth" since those things don't bother me.) Thanks for your well-conceived review of this rare and unique game. It is much needed, I think.

One lingering thought: If she can make her hair into a giant monster that crushes 50 foot tall golems with its jaws using 1000 megatons of force, why doesn't she do that from the start? I like over-the-top (I *love* all things DMC), but when things get over-the-top-of-over-the-top, my eyebrow raises.

"Despite some weaker parts and a technical side not always at the top, Bayonetta easily becomes the new reigning king..."

See, that's the problem... nowadays we are happy with flawed kings.

If you can mention even one game with no flaws you deserve a medal for achieving the impossible.

Impossible I say too,even OoT,Uncharted 2,Crysis,SMB3,SMG and some of the best games ever created have flaws.

hmmmm....tetris

You have to be kidding me.

Gamersyde at it's best ...I don't think i've seen more gamevideos and gamfootage in one review . Awesome :)

And review with no scores man,thats is very cool.

Go gamersyde!!!

I appreciate your review Blim, but I'm still 100% not interested. I just hate the main character SOoooooo much I won't give the game a chance. Some may say I'm "missing out", but I really don't care. At all. Granted- I really don't care much for Asian designed Action Games (Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, anything DragonBallZ or Naruto) but at least I don't detest the characters. This chick actually pisses me off when I see her! hahahah. But I hope the rest of you have a great time. I just look forward to not seeing this Palin looking twit on the headlines anymore!

ummmm *looks at Halo avatar*.......ok

;)

Kethmach, I agree with you the style is what makes me turn away no matter what, the main character, hate it.
If they someday add a character that I can take seriously, then I might consider it, but so far, not even close of interest, period.

But I must say this though, Bayonetta is suppose to be a "bitch", thats how they designed her, and I can't take her seriously, and her attitude and even fighting style is annoying and ugly.

Ah well, there is plenty of other games coming out within this genre that I am much more looking into, and I am straying away from Japanese devs and going into western styles considering I prefer that and the art and such.

Atleast we all know Raptor is a #1 Bayonetta fan :P

I didnt mean it as an insult or anything its just that the Halo avatar made me believe that he is more into FPS and that type of games and of course Bayonetta its way different that those games,its not a bad thing at all thats all its just I thinks there is a genre and game if you prefer for all of us.

Just happen the game for me its Bayonetta hell yeah baby!!!!!

Dont take it the wrong way Kethmach =)

edit:

Sath what do you think of the review?

A new Queen is here to stay!!!

:P

exactly, great review gamesdye/blimblim and cannot wait for my ps3 copy
