    I didn't like the game. The graphics are outdated. I think you do the same thing over and over. Well, some people may like it, but it's not for me. That's my opnion

    I love Nintendo... yeah lets start with that..

    Bayonetta 2.. I feel the same as I did the first one.. I will say for the fans of this series that it was a great and generous idea to include the first one. However upon playing the game I wasn't too impressed. The graphics and the colors are very appealing to where you can tell they put a lot of work into it, and I can say if    I love Nintendo... yeah lets start with that..

    I will say for the fans of this series that it was a great and generous idea to include the first one.

    However upon playing the game I wasn't too impressed.

    The graphics and the colors are very appealing to where you can tell they put a lot of work into it, and I can say if you're a fan of this series you won't be disappointed.

    For me in my own opinion I am a 28 year old man, so to me this game is obviously perverted and I could see anybody younger than 20 getting into this game (mostly young males).

    There's a fine point where a woman in a game can be a bad ass and still be attractive but in this game series they cross the line and make it obvious of sexually objectifying her.

    Yes I admit I'm not too fond of games and perversions like that. I can say yes there are games that have a perverted sense of humor that make me laugh but this like I said is why I see younger males liking a game like this.

    So besides that point... why else did I not like this game?

    The game really seems like a huge button mashing and most of the time you don't know whats really going on. The camera doesn't do the game much justice either.

    Combo system is great but with mentioned above doesn't serve much purpose.

    Another thing I don't like about this game is quick time events.
    I cannot go on enough about how much I dislike quick time events, so if you want to know how I feel
    then I wold suggest watching "quick time events suck" on john tron's channel.

    I am glad I got to try this before buying...

    Though I will say this.. If Nintendo is trying to prove they have mature games then yes Bayonetta 2 does the job (though they do have more mature titles).

    I will not be owning this game.

    I would say if you have never played bayonetta then take that 60 bucks you were going to spend and add that to the pre purchase of the Super Smash bros for WiiU that way you can play it Melee style.    … Expand

    Everything about this game is annoying an unbearable, the grating voices and music, the ugly visual design (Bayo herself is the worse female character design i've ever seen in a game), the story is so bad you might as well skip it altogether, and the gameplay is straight up button mashing with no depth or fun whatsoever. Avoid.

    Yet another insanely over rated Nintendo game, if this was on a different console it would be getting poor reviews. It's like all neck beards personal fantasy, they get to play as a barely dressed girl who shoots guns. Madness.

    Meh. Another Wii crapfest of a great game. No new ingenuity just a copy of a good game from a past generation and another console. Keep up the great work, looking at your fanbase they're rabid for those good old cheap games!

    The gameplay was even better than in first game but the plot i couldn't care any less. The story was really boring and when you started to hope that it will rise to epic levels it was already over.
    The new look of bayonetta is ulgy. Older was better.

    Bayonetta 2 is an outright fantastic game. It’s another very good reason to own a Wii U and it outclasses practically every other game of this type by a considerable margin.

    I had a lot of questions in my head when I launched Bayonetta 2 for the first time. Is it possible to design a combat system as awesome as before, make it familiar, but not hackneyed? Is it possible to outshine the closing moments of the first game? The sequel needed just a couple of minutes to dispel all my concerns. [Dec 2014, p.62]

    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.
