    A more focused, more vibrant game that surpasses its predecessor and establishes itself as the best game on the Wii U and as the newest masterpiece of the genre.

    Sega's loss is Nintendo's gain: Bayonetta, twirling away from a gigantic demon's maw and smacking the highest choir of angels on the nose, has just given Wii U its first true classic. [Nov 2014, p.100]

    The sheer polish applied to every part of Bayonetta 2 is something every major studio should aspire to: the exceptional and wide-ranging soundtrack, the huge number of unlocks, the Nintendo easter eggs, the “making of” materials, and the unlockable characters that bring their own style. Not a single thing has been held back. In this second adventure, Bayonetta over-delivers in every regard, and it will be a long time before another fighting game threatens her crown.

    Bayonetta 2's biggest disappointment may be that it's an iterative sequel, but it's not such a problem when it's iterating on genius.

    Bayonetta 2 is a silky smooth and highly-entertaining brawler that all Wii U owners should have in their collections.

    Bayonetta 2 is the high-flying return of everyone's favorite Umbra Witch. Platinum Games pushes to the Wii U to its limit with fast action, magnificent vistas, and huge bosses. The addition of the original Bayonetta just pushes the entire package over the top. If you're a Devil May Cry fan, this is a must-buy.

    Over the top yet unimaginative. At least the fights are dynamic and the game itself can be a breath of fresh air, considering what else is available on the Wii U. [Issue#245]

The game is extremely fun to play and must by for any Bayonetta fan, or fan of this kind of games. Graphics are awesome and the game runs 60 FPS, which makes is look good. Voice acting is nice and the soundtrack is what you can expect from Bayonetta game.

Los efectos cinematográficos del juego son excleentes, los combos disfrutables y sencillos de hacer (especialmente si se compara con su competidor más cercano en la consola que sería Ninja Gaiden III), algo que es fenomenal es cuando se llega al golpe final y uno desea saber cómo bailará bayonetta previamente a su ataque.

    El juego también tiene un sentido del humor muy bueno, rememora al juego, de la misma compañía, de Wonderful 101.

    Gráficamente es maravilloso.
    Definitivamente es un juego que deben jugar los adultos en Nintendo, pero, con el motivo del alto contenido sexual, pienso que debe ser manejado para audiencias de menor edad, especialmente aquí en Latinoamérica donde los juegos son vendidos sin ningún problema a cualquier niño, pienso que los padres deben tener un poco de cuidado, pues el contenido sexual del juego puede ser inquietante para un niño.    … Expand
