Bayonetta is good, but it's not that good. Or rather it's great, but Devil May Cry 3 is still the best of the genre. It has the deepest combo system out there and the boss fights, all of them, are amazing. Best boss fights I've ever had the pleasure of fighting (Even better than MGS 3's). Though I personally put Bayonetta's combat and enemy strategy under Devil May Cry 4; Bayonetta's air juggling system's a bit broken (broken in a bad way) and the greater enemies have no strategy, it's just brute force attack until they stop dashing so you can hit them. Like, Witch Time adds a bit of depth, but strip that down and you're left with enemies that are too weak or too annoying. Though the overall game, level design, etc are better than Devil May Cry 4, the core mechanics arn't. Still Bayonetta is a fantastic game.
I guess we're making lists?
