X360 review:-


"Bayonetta is simultaneously gratuitous, ludicrous, and marvelous, but that's precisely why it's such a wild and fun adventure."

The Good

• Fluid, flexible, and fun combat system  
• Witch time and witch walk add new dimensions to battle  
• Fantastic, memorable boss fights  
• Intuitive scoring system with online leaderboards  
• Superbly animated. 

The Bad

• Some minor camera issues.

Last paragraph:-
"With the fluidity and flexibility of its fighting engine, innovative use of bullet time and wall-walking mechanics, and the competitive online scoring system that is weaved into its very fabric, Bayonetta isn't so much a sister to other combat-oriented action games as it is an evolution of them. Its battle controls are silky smooth from the very first moment you experience them, and the magic remains throughout the entire journey; whether you're throwing a bus at a boss or hitching a ride on a ballistic missile. Chock-full of often silly but always memorable moments, Bayonetta is hard to get out of your mind even after you've stopped playing it. More than anything else, almost everything about Bayonetta feels just right. Its host of hidden items and secrets, multiple difficulties, competitively balanced scoring system, and charismatic heroine make it a game that will be revisited time and time again. This is one action game that you absolutely must not miss."

PS3 review:-


Bayonetta on the PlayStation 3 is simultaneously gratuitous, ludicrous, and great, but it's unfortunately held back from its potential by a number of technical issues.

The Good

• Fluid, flexible, and fun combat system  
• Witch time and witch walk add new dimensions to battle  
• Memorable and enjoyable boss fights  
• Intuitive scoring system with online leaderboards  
• Excellently animated.

The Bad

• Frequent, lengthy load times  
• Frame rate hiccups during high-action sequences  
• Some minor camera issues.

Last paragraph:-
"With its flexible fighting engine, innovative use of bullet time and wall-walking mechanics, and the competitive online scoring system that is weaved into its very fabric, Bayonetta isn't so much a sister to other combat-oriented action games as it is an evolution of them. Though frame rate issues, frequent and extended load times, and less-crisp graphics make the PlayStation 3 version inferior to its Xbox 360 counterpart, it is nonetheless still a very enjoyable experience. Combat controls feel natural and responsive from the very first moment you experience them, and the magic remains throughout the journey; whether you're throwing a bus at a boss or hitching a ride on a ballistic missile. Chock-full of often silly but always memorable moments, Bayonetta can stay with you even after you've stopped playing it. Regardless of which version you play, its host of hidden items and secrets, multiple difficulties, competitively balanced scoring system, and charismatic heroine make Bayonetta a game that will be revisited time and time again.

Editor's Note: Although it was quickly corrected, this review was originally published with a score of 8.5 instead of the 8.0 agreed upon by the reviews team. GameSpot regrets the error."

i am so not gonna get this game, why should i pay the same 60$ as an xbox360 owner for the same exact game, but with a much less experience...

I don't mind an inferior port, but the framerate issues in the PS3 version was giving me a headache.

Poor PS3 owners whos planning to buy this game and got no idea they are getting screwed with this crappy port. =(

What would you do if you found out after you bought a game that they had reduced the PS3 version significantly because of people like you who don't buy games when they feel theres an inferior version?

Frequent, lengthy load times - Thats enough right there to turn me away from the PS3 version, getting 360 version tomorrow.

i would be angry cause i bought the inferior version >_>....i dont see where youre going with this

i understand its far from unplayable, but it is inferior version, its a FACT, unless someone likes slowdown and more loading time lulz....what i want is for the ps3 version to have a patch, then ill buy it....why should i buy a beat up car for the same price that someone else can buy it new....i dont think so, its a big f u to sony and its console owners from the developers.

I doubt the people who didn't know the 360 version performed better would enjoy the game that much less so its a non issue imo. The only reason its news is the fact its another port that hasn't lived up to expectations.
