9.0 for the Xbox 360.

8.0 for the PS3.

-Wasdie: I fixed the error in the title. Happy now?

Oh snap, a AAA for the best action game on 360.

I have a feeling the PS3 version won't do as well... ;)

Better than I thought it would get, still not sure on it though. You should put the score number in the topic title, too.

I expect the PS3 version to score at least a .5 difference ... based off of how bad the demo looked and played compared to the 360s.

the game looks good and I will be purchasing it. However from playing the demos and watching vids I still don't see where AAA comes from. Story seems meh, and the action seems only marginally better than DMC or NG

Seems fair enough. But seeing the plethora of games in the near future and the amount free time I will have on my hands, I won't be buying this game for sure.

Looks like the biggest difference between the two systems were the load times and frame rate issues for the PS3 version.

My prediction was right! :D

Too bad the PS3 version is inferior though. Maybe some of the problems that are bringing it down can be fixed via patches

edit- nevermind, my prediction wasn't right. The reviewer made a mistake and accidentally gave the PS3 version 8.5

Good stuff, I'll be the 360 version sometime probably over the summer. Mass Effect 2 is coming up too fast, and White Knight right after that, and it's all down hill (in a good way) until like June. ;)

If you had the choice, just go for the 360 version. Of course that being said the PS3 version isn't unplayable, but it is noticeably different in terms of graphics and whatnot.

Finally the GS review, also it didn't take very long for 2010 to get its first AAA game, only 5 days.

Awesome! My predictions were mostly correct - I thought the PS3 version would get an 8.0. I just finished downloading the demo on the 360 (didn't have Live for a bit). Gonna' go play it now and see how it holds up to the PS3 version!

If you wanted to start, I'd definitely recommend starting with Bayonetta, it's less punishing in terms of normal difficulty than other games in the same genre.

360 starts off 2010 with AAA, and with Mass Effect 2 around the corner its going to have two AAA in its first month.

I tried the demo.. I just can't get things to unfold the way I want them to. Plus, things get too chaotic on screen for me to understand what I should be doing. I won't lie, I really suck at these games.

So far GS score wise, the 360 version of Bayonetta is better than other games in the hack-n-slash beat 'em up action genre, better than Heavenly Sword, Devil May cry 4, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. A good AAA to start off the year.

If you're planning to get this this week and a ToysRUs is near you, they're giving a $10 dollar gift card with this game and Darksiders, and I think if you're a Reward Member you get $40 if you buy both. Also there's a $5 dollar coupon in the store for purchases over $25 this week. And Best Buy and Target can always price match. I'm tempted.
