Anyway
It’s definately a different (and better) beast to God of War, and I’ve played every DMC apart from 2. Just from Bayonetta’s demo I feel it is infinitely the better game.
DMC had it’s issues. It was quite short, and the last boss was a let down. If Edge say Bayonetta is faultless, I am inclined to believe them from what I’ve played at the moment.

Depends on opinion Eregol does that really i prefer the more serious story of Gow to the campyness of Bayonetta but they really are very different come to think of it.

I have to say though, that when playing God of War 3 there are some low res textures in the demo.
Poor textures can be seen on
Blades of Chaos (although the sound of them makes my spine tingle in a good way)
Some character models (The red titan and the Chimaera)
The centaur’s insides
PS3 Bayonetta has it’s issues. But I like both, Bayonetta edges it for me.
I’ve always been a sucker for Japanese craziness. This is no exception.

Yeah I know that.
But considering the quality of other textures involved and wanting to showcase it as a powerhouse title leaving in placeholder textures (especially on a gargantuan character model that is almost permanently on screen)is quite frankly ludicrous.

A five? really? Talk about breaking the mold just to be different.
Reviewer was probably some console fps douche.

Perhaps the reviewer has some profound reason to give Dragon Age a 5/10. Drug use, the only apparent reason why DA:O would receive such a score, is not an applicable reason though.

As i have played the full game of Bayonetta i can tell you that it’s the most fun action game i’ve ever played.
If you go past the kitsch art style and the somehow silly parts(which are few) of the game it’s pure fun in all it’s glory.It may not have the same depth or graphics with GoW but gameplaywise is more fun.
As for the Ps3 version…i think some people are going a little bit overboard.The textures are good,so does the framerate…graphics don’t feel washed out at all.There are minor differences to 360 version.
The huge letdown REALLY are the loading times(ps3 version) which i heard they will be fixed with a patch.

oh and one more thing about Bayonetta’s gameplay.It has the best variety of Weapons/combos/skills/unlockables i have ever played in these kind of games(Gow-DMC style)1 or even 2 playthroughs with this game really are not enough to acquire and learn all of them
