My wife got me Bayonetta as an anniversary gift and I must say, the time I have put into it so far, has been nothing short of an adrenaline rush!!! Firstly as Marauderz puts it, “Bayonetta is probably the only game thus far that thrusts the player into the action before an intro movie”… and you know what, he’s right… The player is thrown into the mix of killing all that is angelic in what??? 30 secs from the title screen… All this without even a hint of what the controls 
are, while some might scoff at the lack of overly self indulgent cutscene ala Kojima to set the mood and pace of things to come, I prefer wanton destruction and narration accompanying meat showers any day!!!
The action comes in from all angles thick and fast and even through all that, the game engages you in a way that motivates you to play better, dispatch the enemies quicker and performing the most visually impressive combos that you can think of…
In between the action there are several QTE and puzzle segments to inject some variation in the game but these serve on to make you yearn the next fight more as you cannot wait to try out a new combo on the next unsuspecting enemy…
While I have not played the game as much as I would have liked, it has passed the ever-so-important-two-hour test, meaning that if it can still hold my attention after two hours of gameplay, it is definitely a game worth playing…
