NEED TO KNOW
1 It took a full year to arrive at the final character design for Bayonetta.
2 The PS3 version wasn't developed in-house and has performance issues (play on PS4!).
3 An anime film, Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, was released in 2013.
There's no other game character quite like Bayonetta. Platinum's Umbran witch is the height of sexy style, combining the poise of a model with movie-star confidence and a devilish hedonistic thirst. Best of all, for an action game, she brings every ounce of that personality into combat, ensuring the game with her name on it is a constant delight.
Bayonetta works for a lot of reasons, but first and foremost is its towering protagonist. Clad in skin-tight black attire (made out of her own hair - a trend we hope doesn't catch on) and platform heels she clearly likes to dominate, and that's exactly what she does. Facing off against the angelic forces of Paradiso, she moves with power and agility, spanking her foes into submission, tossing out innuendos as they explode. She's so slick and composed, it's a privilege to be permitted to control her; one you shouldn't waste with mediocre performance.
