Both versions are to be identical? I didn't see the PS3 review up yet.

Bayonetta demo was pretty rocking, and I'm not even a big fan of the chain combo button masher.

Both versions are to be identical? Scoob64

Well, I can't say. But it is strange how the reviewers haven't even approached doing a PS3 version review even though it's out in Japan. Maybe they know a fixed American version is coming, and are thus reserving judgement?

He loved the game. It was his favorite action game of all-time. My guess is that if it WASN'T his favorite action game of all time it would be getting a 3.0 or a 4.0

He said at the end that "If you have no other choice but to purchase the PS3 version, you'll still get a kick out of it. Just be ready to be exorbitantly patient."

I don't know how well people will put up with that...

The gameplay was pretty solid, but Im not a fan of the art style or story (or whatever it is) at all. I like over the top, but this is a little ridiculous.

Glad to see IGN tell it how it is, so much for people thinking they over rate PS3 games. If a game is flawed reviewer so be upfront about it and not let bias of fanboy emotions interfere with their judgement.

Seriously unless the game was rebuilt from the ground up, it would't have made that much of a diffrence.

*wonder's what GS will score this on 360 now?* the PS3 version got no hope.

I would think not, or they would have reviewed it earlier... I have a feeling they got an early review copy like with Killzone 2 or whatever other game it was that got an early review...

How the hell did Bayonetta get a 9.5? Jesus. the game sucks so bad. Imo, the 360 version is an 8.2 and the PS3 version is just a 7/10 wow. 9.5 for this?

I hope we see plenty of 9.6's / 9.7's from IGN next year so that this doesn't win goty '10

Ouch! 9.5 on the 360 and 8.2 on the PS3. :lol: Wow, that is one large gap in score. I was going to get the PS3 version for my girlfriend for Christmas but no way. Load times when you bring up menus and pick up items? I'm shocked by how high that score is on the Xbox. For anyone who was super pumped, that is pretty exciting. My bet is that God of War will still eat it alive, but that's just me sticking to my fanboy guns. :P

:| they game the PS3 version an 8.2.

and if you do a quick comparison of major game reviews from GS and IGN using Gamerankings as your measuring stick, you would see that IGN actually falls in line more consistantly with the total average of games released this gen far more than GS on a whole.
