The reviews are worthless.


360 -

Presentation - 9
Graphics - 9
Sound - 9
Gameplay - 9
Lasting Appeal - 9.5

PS3 -

Presentation - 4.5
Graphics - 7.5
Sound - 9
Gameplay - 8.5
Lasting Appeal - 9


See what is wrong?

- Load times and framerate fall under presentation, which is a lower score on PS3. Fine.

- Graphics are said to be almost identical yet the PS3 a whole 1.5 lower.

- Sound is the same. Fine.


The next two are really wong though.

- The gameplay for both should be identical, there is no difference how the game plays (seeing that load times/framerate is already covered in Presentation).

- Lasting appeal should be identical also, the 360 doesn't have anything extra the PS3 does not.



Cannot even be consistant on the areas of the game that are consistant on both versions. Same reviewer so cannot use that excuse.


Worthless review(s).

I'm with you on this one man.

Flawed reviews...

"After extensive time with PS3 and 360 copies of Bayonetta, I decided to score the 360 version higher than the PS3 game due to crisper visuals, a smoother framerate, and shorter loading times. Content-wise, the two are essentially the same."

I heard the loading times are pretty bad from someone who has imported the PS3 version. There are loading times when pausing and picking up new items. 360 version it is.

I saw those reviews, but couldn't find the others that he was talking about

Guess that if I'll be getting this I'll only do so on the X360. The PS3 version should be an atrocity with that huge score difference...

wow, that is mean from IGN, detroying the PS3 version that much. I was getting it for xbox 360 anyway.

I wouldn't exactly call an 8.2 an 'atrocity'

Not by itself, by when compared to its 360 counterpart, it sure as hell is.

The game sounds incredible but as a PS3 owner Im not paying the developers any of my hard earned money as a matter of principle.

The product is sub-par and by voting with their wallet people are only going to encourage this practice on the part of developers.

Ill get it second hand in a few months or wait for any competent remix down the line.

That is your entitlement as a consumer.

However if the product costs more to produce for PS3 due to the system architecture then you may be cutting of your nose to spite your face.

Essentially if the returns are poor initially investment will cause lacklustre ports.

Therefore withholding your custom may force DEVS to consider developing for PS3 a pointless risk in terms of remuneration.

Essentially meaning less ports shoddy or not.

GamePro hasn't reviewed the PS3 version as far as I know, and they score games out of 5, not 10. You can probably find the other ones he mentioned on the N4G meta-reviews.
