Ummm,.... I like Bayonetta.... me likeee a lot but, I wouldn't give it that title. Not when i consider how long I played streets of rage and a lot of those other old action games from back then, sure they were plain, but the replay value was amazing, the only replay value Boyanetta really has is to earn all the achievements and upgrades. so no not the greatest

...well, I do like your opinion, lol. Streets of Rage was AWESOME, as was God Hand and Viewtiful Joe...

...however, I will add that not only is Bayonetta longer than most(any?) game in its current subgenre, it also has much more replayibility ahd content, due not only too the depth of the combat, but also to the vast number of collectables, upgrades, and advanced strategy at higher difficulty levels. :P

IGN:

9.5 Lasting Appeal
Bayonetta was designed for multiple playthroughs. Chapters can be replayed at any time upon completion and there's plenty to unlock and purchase even after you've beaten the game.

Just my opinion, hehe. :)

There seems to a LOT of misinformation going around about this game. I don't know why people don't trust the reviewers for this particular game, but shat all over themselves for any review of an exclusive, while at the same time, not trusting the magnificant developer an studio who created it, as this game has amazing pedigree if nothing else.

I mean, WKC has pretty mediocre reviews from Japan and import reviews, as well as  user reviews, a pretty good pedigree, and you get flamed to hell for suggesting it might not be better than FFXIII, you get Bayonetta which has stellar reviews, from one of the great developers and directors currently in the business which an excellent fan reaction, and you get "I dunno, could be shit, the girl isn't sexy enough."(not you dnnc, lol, but some in this thread)

Guys, seriously, Bayonetta might not be YOUR favorite game of all time, but it is good, and you can't go wrong at least playing it with a rental. Sheesh. I don't know if this stems from the PS3 port or what, but misinformation abounds around this title.

Next we'll have people saying that Okami really sucked, because it didn't sell well, and critics were wrong. :P

I agree with you 100%, but maybe it's because I was younger back then, and much more easily amused. I never used to judge games back then the way i do know, I won't be putting Bayonetta down anytime soon. I just wouldn't put it at the top of the pillar, but I do give it a spot near the top. in terms of sales I could care less ( I have my copy )
