Bayonetta the first climax demo review.











The first thing that is absolutely key in this game is that there was nothing that seemed to weird or insane to make it into this game. The visuals are so intense that its hard to keep track of all the detail and the colors flying around on screen at once. The main character is hot and wild at all moments. She is also really freaky. She wears these accountants glasses but is clad in some seriously tight bondage gear and leather.


Your main character is a bastard child from when creatures of the light and dark mated and broke a terrible law of nature in doing so. The result is some great gameplay. Trouble is everything is so fast paced and extreme you can't process what's going on enough to decide are you good or bad. Not that it matters much in the demo because you are essentially there to kill, maim, and destroy.
Levels are great and look fantastic. Trains stations and cars are unbelievable additions to the world. There is not much missing in this design. Everywhere you look in the game there is a huge amount of detail. Gothic, Renascience, and Medieval meet anime in this crazy mash up of styles and hack and slash gameplay.
One game play problem that has to be addressed is the camera control while moving around in the world. It is sluggish and needs to be much more responsive but still works ok.
The enemies are great in appearance and fight in nasty packs. The bosses are frequent and bad ass. They come in many shapes and sizes but are better judged on a scale of how bizarre they are.
Fighting is exciting and very bloody. Calling in special attacks are great. The best one in the demo is when the bondage suit comes off and grows into a huge dragon which grabs the boss baddie and chomps him to bits shredding him into the pulp of goo that flies around the screen.

Sega has done well with this master melee destroy all angelic beings and baddies creation. Its just one thing that gets me crazy about this game. What the hell kind of world is this. I can't wait to find out when the full version of the game releases January 5, 2010. The demo gets a 4.11 out of 5 and looks to be a very highly anitcipated game release from Sega who has long needed a new IP to get the ball rolling back in their court.
