Seemed like a fair review. I got the impression the writer had the same "this is really silly" moments that I did while being impressed with the mechanics.
I didn't like Bayonetta but it was the shell of the game more than anything. It just felt like it was trying way too hard to be over the top. It caused a disconnect for me and I stopped caring. I didn't like the art designs of the characters, either.
Fortunately, those are matters of taste, not quality. The combat system has some nice stuff, especially Witch Time.
I think it's the kind of game where the enjoyment level can vary greatly from person to person. I would have no problem with a review ranging anywhere from a 7 to a 9.
