Overall, I much prefer The God of War games and the Ninja Gaiden series, and even two of the four Devil May Cry games.
As for the combat, the only thing that impressed me and made it any better then Devil May Cry was the ability to so easily dodge by pressing R2 (I played on ps3) and the ability to activate witch time. Other then that, it was equal in terms of combat to Devil May Cry. Both are fast paced, smooth and over the top. Bayonetta is just 11 notches higher in the over the top meter but at the expense of being way overly cheesy and suffering from all of the things that I find distaste for from Eastern games. I found myself skipping every cutscene halfway through the game including the end. I can see where the argument can be made, and why so many people may find the combat so much better then the other games I mentioned. But personally, I could barely stomach the game, despite the stellar combat. I could stomach the nonsense plot of NG, but this game was at a putrid level.
Personally, I like GoW for the full package, and Ninja Gaiden for the combat.
