Maybe it is just me but this game seems so strange to me that I feel I will not be able to get into it at all. I mean she can change into anything: a panther, a butterfly, a flock of bats, and some other type of bird. She summons giant monsters out of black holes and to top it all off she collects Sonics precious golden Rings.... smh. I played the demo and it was pretty good, but I am still unsure, because there was still something there that didnt do it for me.

I mean if any other publisher was making this game I would be less skeptical, but Sega has a history of having HORRIBLE stories that make No Sense whatsoever and gimicky gameplay...well, at least in my opinion.

Sega just ported the game, they didnt make it, Platinum games did. Also, the publisher doesn't necessarily make the game, that's the developers job.

You the magic word in your last paragraph. "if any other PUBLISHER"... Publishers do just that. They publish games. Publisher does not mean they developed the game. Sega didn't make it. Platinum Games did. Hideki Kamiya, the mastermind behind DMC is the one who is producing it. Sega is just making the port for PS3. They're not the ones actually coming up with the content of the game.

Ok well, I feel a little better about it then... Now I just got to get over playing as a female character who represents pure sex and can turn into butterflies...

Sega is just the publisher, it was developed by Platinum Games (formerly Clover Studios with Capcom) whose members are responsible for Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, God Hand, and Mad World. Needless to say, they have some credentials.

Yes, it's out there, but you either give yourself over to the craziness (which is what the game is all about really), or play something else.

Sega only published the game. (and ported the code to PS3) The game itself is developed by Platinum Games, directed by the creator of Devil May Cry. If it doesn't do anything for you, well then, you know what to do already. (or in this case, not do) The story isn't going to be a selling point, it's made by the same people that put out God Hand on the PS2. Expect the fourth wall to be shattered, and for the story to take a back seat to the characters and the over the top action. If you want a sensible story, this is not your game.

If you like DMC its worth a shot though. The DMC-like gameplay is the biggest draw for me. I actually think the combat might be even smoother than DMC.

I dunno - I would feel stranger staring at Dante's ass rather than Bayonetta's throughout a game, but who am I kidding - I'd roll both ways.

1) Sega has nearly nothing to do with the game, just porting and publishing.

2) Those are Angel halos, not "Sonic rings."

3) She doesn't change into a butterfly, only a panther, a raven and bats.

I gotta admit,

Sonic's rings were the first thing i thoguht of while playing the demo

Which i didn't really enjoy.

I love DMC, this just didn't feel up to scratch. Can't put my finger on why, but i won't be buying it

I think the rings were done as a nod to their publishing partner, even if they call them "angel halos"

They did.

The soundtrack is laden with tracks paying tribute to classic Sega music.

I'm pretty she has butterfly wings that help her float in the air for a small amount of time when you press the jump button. She's doesn't actually transform into a full-out butterfly like she does a panther. I think there's a difference.

lol, Wow.

No.

Bayonetta made a pact with Madama Butterfly to get her powers, thus granting her butterfly wings when she jumps and a butterfly shadow.

hey, first things first : the name is BAY-O-NETT-A!!! where did they find that name? she doesn't even remotely use a "bayonette" ... it seems (not officially confirmed) that Sony will try to make the awful porting Sega did better in USA and Europe before release.

Three things I didn`t like about the demo:

1. The color scheme. I could hardly tell what was going on during a battle. Too many bright colors, not enough harmony.

2. The god-awful wapanese soundtrack.

3. The ridiculously overdone sexuality of the main character. It`s was so unbelievable I even felt a bit repulsed by her.

However, Bayonetta is a good hack and slash game but I think I`ll pass.

i actually enjoyed the demo more than i did dmc4 and i actually like the over the top sexiness of it, i think because i found the gameplay to be fun and the way they did the whole thing felt a little more tongue in cheek hawtness than full on pr0n if that makes sense. to me it was more of a "haha thats cute" than "OMFGSHESTEHS3XORZ"

Bayonetta is supposed to be ridiculously and overly stylized. It's part of the game's charm.

pretty much the same thoughts for me as well.. I'll also add simple enemy a.i as well as slugish enemy movements. (however the boss lady you fight in the end of the demo is somewhat decent.) Hopefully in the full game, enemy a.i will be more challenging on higher difficulty levels....as opposed to simply nerfing the character.

Its not really turning into a butterfly though. You get that power only while you jump. You don't actually stay transformed like you do with the panther.
