    Bayonetta 2 is without a doubt a masterpiece. The greatest hack and slash action game of all time. I've come back to it again and again. Campaign is only 10 hours long but Ive already put 60 hours into the game with the amount of replay value it has. So many weapons, modes, different characters etc. Plus fan service with the nintendo costumes (love the starfox). It doesnt get better thanBayonetta 2 is without a doubt a masterpiece.

    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 The graphics are outdated.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

    Nintendo does action as well as they do platforming, kart racing, and fighting. And a powerful female protagonist who is not afraid to get in your face or the face of the most menacing monsters in the universe!

    The ultimate challenge in a franchise is to make successful sequels. In a world today of cash-in sequels, it is easy to be skeptical of more entries in a franchise. However, Bayonetta 2 is honestly how to do a sequel right, and if a company wants to make sequels the proper way, they should study Bayonetta 2 thoroughly.

    The ultimate challenge in a franchise is to make successful sequels. In a world today of cash-in sequels, it is easy to be skeptical of more entries in a franchise. However, Bayonetta 2 is honestly how to do a sequel right, and if a company wants to make sequels the proper way, they should study Bayonetta 2 thoroughly.

    Pros
    +One of the best hack and slash engines ever produced
    +The graphics, with an emphasis on blue, are heavily more appealing thanks to that Nintendo charm
    +Awesome boss battles
    +A much more fleshed-out soundtrack than the original
    +Difficulty is much more fair than the original
    +I also personally much preferred Bayonetta's design in this gme
    +It does what a sequel should: keeps what works from the first game, expands upon it (with Umbra climax attacks, challenge verses, and demons to fight), and throws out what some of the first game's annoyances.
    +Story is better than first game but....

    Cons
    -...IT STILL SUCKS. AMNEISA AGAIN?!?! WHY!?!
    -Those weird cutscenes are back and yeah not much better

    Final Verdict: 9.6/10 (Rounds to a 10/10) Even with a lame-ass story, Bayonetta 2 is one of the best sequels ever and yet another reason to own a Wii U.

    (1). it's all about the gameplay. clearly they doesn't try to be Hollywood, and it's an awesome thing. imho most games nowadays are trying too hard to be "movies", they forgot to "game" properly.
    (2). the difficulties never disrespect gamers, they challenge gamers. unlike many triple A, platinumgames don't have to keep us happy to guarantee a sequel. they are not afraid to kick our butts in the game.
    (3). they don't outsource half of the world's population to make the game. sure, it have simpler visuals -like interfaces and menus. but it means better QC, and so far i haven't found any bugs or errors.
    (4). it have arguably the best value. two games for the price of one. no DLC, u have hundreds of unlockables and achievements, and rating system that worth replaying for thousands of hours.
    (5). and lastly, it's made by gamers... gamers who love playing games, just like you and me...
    these are the people who understand the importance of coming home with a game THAT WORKS. u come home happy after buying a game, u put the game inside ur console, and u play it. just like that. no downloading day-one-DLC, no need to pay for this or that, no need to worry about server status or other players. u just play it, AND IT ROCKS!! it rocks all the way to the end credits, and all over again.

    these guys really know how it was in the good old days of gaming. and i love them for making games that represents those good old times. PlatinumGames, u just made an old gamer really happy...

Bayonetta 2 delivers what I consider to be a strong improvement over the original in fluidity while retaining an extremely in depth combat system. This game holds some of the most satisfying fighting I've experienced in an action game. The game ranges from 40-60fps depending on how many enemies are on screen, which makes the combat even more impressive and smooth. From the great feeling you get from executing a perfect dodge and activating witch time, to the joy in successfully pulling off or mastering a difficult combo, Bayonetta 2 is a must have for adult Wii U owners. The vocal soundtrack fits the mood of the game perfectly and is worth a listen on its own merit. The story ties closely with the one in the original Bayonetta and has the same charms as the first, but it is nothing groundbreaking. Overall Bayonetta 2 is a wonderful game with worth many hours due to its collectables, secret battles, challenges, and brutal difficulty levels. Expand

Sensualidad,humor crudo,demostración de poder y una aventura que nada tiene que envidiar a las clásicas joyas Hack N Slash de sus hermanos mayores de antaño.

    Gráficos:

    Visualmente es muy apetecible ,los diseños fueron mejorados notablemente desde su primera versión salida en PS3/Xbox 360.Los escenarios son enormes,tal es así que uno mismo hasta puede observar a lo lejos lugares que podrá alcanzar mas avanzado el nivel.A pesar de ser exclusivo de Wii U,no tiene nada que envidiarle a un juego de esta generación,pues gracias a sus 60FPS constantes y 1080p las batallas de un hack`n slash jamas han resultado tan vistosas.En tanto los enemigos sufrirán diferentes transformaciones a medida que les propinemos golpes,de esa manera su cuerpo sera tan solo un puñado de carne mutilada al momento de padecer antes nuestros ataques.Simplemente excelente.

    10/10

    Trama:

    La historia continua,un tiempo después del primer juego.Nos encontraremos con una Bayonetta mas relajada,pero a la misma vez muy consciente de su poder.Deberá enfrentar a un poderoso enemigo que nuevamente tratara de reunir los dos ojos,el de los sabios y el de las brujas.Inicialmente tendremos que rescatar el alma de Jeanne,su compañera,pero al avanzar la aventura iremos develando el pasado de Bayonetta,como así también la causa de la muerte de su madre y la guerra entre los sabios de Lumen y las brujas de Umbra.A cada momento la historia atrapa,pues con cada capitulo estamos cada vez mas cerca de adentrarnos en esta magnifica historia que nos ofrece el juego.

    10/10

    Jugabilidad:

    Como novedad se incluye un modo online la mar de adictivo e incluso necesario puesto que recaudar la cantidad de halos necesarios para comprar ciertos items en la tienda de Rodin se nos dificulta con tan solo la campaña.En el mismo podremos acabar con los enemigos de manera cooperativa para dos jugadores,también podremos seleccionar personajes con su respectivo equipo.La transformación pantera se encuentra disponible desde el principio,sumado a esto tendremos la posibilidad de juntar magia esquivando enemigos con el tiempo brujo y atacando para así activar el climax de umbra al llenar barra mágica o si uno prefiere ejecutar ataques finales. Entre los coleccionables deberemos recoger las perlas y corazones,ya sea que estén dispersos por el escenario o acabando los desafíos Musphelheim. Derrotar ciertas hordas enemigas nos dará acceso a discos los cuales podremos intercambiarlos en el bar de Rodin por armas,estas mismas van desde una hoz hasta sables dobles que incrementan la velocidad con cada ataque e incluso un par de lanzallamas.Cabe aclarar que la mayoría de las armas podremos equiparlas tanto en los brazos como piernas.Por ultimo juntar cuervos de la sangre de Umbra desbloquearan sellos para postear en la comunidad miiverse. Por otra parte, las batallas son dinámicas,nada extensas y por sobre todo distintas,jamas parecerán repetitivas.Siempre habrá que innovar en los combos debido a la gran variedad de enemigos que utilizaran técnicas diferentes y si no mejoramos nuestro repertorio de golpes el resultado sera fatal culminando con un rotundo game over.

    10/10

    Música:

    Tal como su antecesor,las mezclas J-pop con jazz estarán a la orden del día,incluso con la canción característica de “Fly me to the moon´´ del primer juego como con la principal de las escenas de lucha de éste: Tomorrow is mine.Ademas de las ya mencionadas canciones de pelea,endulzaran nuestros oídos magnificas orquestas imponiendo una sensación épica a las cinemáticas. Las batallas con los jefes finales no quedaran afuera,puesto que cada una esta animosamente musicalizada con la mejor OST del juego.Las voces de Bayonetta y compañía,perfectamente dobladas al ingles como así también podremos seleccionar los seiyus originales en japones,demuestra lo vivos y reales que pueden ser los personajes de los videojuegos.

    10/10

    Conclusión:

    Palabras sobran para describir a esta genial obra maestra proveniente de la mente de Hideki kamiya y Platinum games,la cual ha cumplido con todas las expectativas,e incluso las ha superado con creces.Juego obligado para quienes sean orgullosos poseedores de Nintendo Wii U,no solo por este juego sino también porque ademas del mismo se incluye Bayonetta 1 totalmente remasterizado a 60 FPS,1080p e incluso trajes completamente nuevos como los de Link,Peach,Satr Fox entre otros.Recomendado y de lo mejor que nos dejo este 2014.Y para quienes ya estén a la espera de una tercera parte,Platinum games ha confirmado la misma y dará información a lo largo de este 2015.

    Nota final:10 EXCELENTE

You are constantly being introduced to new stuff to do, and the weapon combos are top notch.

The story is much better than the first, though admittedly still semi-shallow and a bit convoluted without any real deep explanation of certain elements, but doesn't detract from the gameplay at all.

    The sequel to a much beloved Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 game, Bayonetta 2 arrived as a Wii U exclusive amidst huge expectations. And for good reason, too: fans of hack-and-slash gameplay will undoubtedly be impressed by the title's breathtaking action and unflinching sense of style.

    In the game, you play as Umbran witch Cereza, alias Bayonetta, a demon-aided dominatrix who possesses the "left eye". Or something. It's not important, really, as the story is an uninteresting mess of clichés, one-liners and incomprehensible twists. You start playing to rescue a friend who's been dragged to hell, fighting angels and demons along the way, and end up involved in some sort of world-ending affair. There are way too many cutscenes, truth be told, but they're thankfully skippable.

    When it comes to combat, that's where things get really interesting. Gameplay consists mostly of sequenced fights, but there's incredible depth to the system. It offers an infinity of possible combos for you to deliver, some slow and powerful, some quick and lighter, and figuring out when to use each is a lot of fun. There are a few easily grasped concepts, too, such as "witch time" (a few seconds of slow-motion enemies, activated right after you dodge an incoming attack right on time) or the all-powerful "Umbran climax". The game does a great job of easing you into each mechanic, and the pristine frame rate adds even more fluidity to an already near perfect combat system.

    Halos are the game's currency, which can be spent on a store called "The Gates of Hell", accessible from the menu or from red spots scattered around the stages. You can get new weapons, accessories, costumes, moves, and all sort of upgrades; if you're willing to learn the game's intricacies rather than just button-mash your way through, this adds even more richness to the combat.

    It has to be said that Bayonetta 2 isn't too kind to players keen on collecting, though. The game does feature loads of secrets, including weapon-unlocking golden vinyls, umbran crows, and even hidden fight sequences, but there simply isn't an easy way to keep track of everything for backtracking purposes. There's a record screen at the end of each stage, yet no way to review it afterwards (unless you go through the entire stage again). Couple that with artificial means to prevent exploration, such as invisible walls, and you have a game that's really not optimized for those who want to wander around appreciating the details of its setting.

    It seems like that's all by design, however. Bayonetta 2 isn't the kind of game that sells itself as a laid-back romp; on the contrary, it's minutiously designed to be exhilarating. Battles are huge, earth-shattering affairs that will get you yearning for more. As a cherry on the top, enemy design is simply stunning: from golden, majestic angels to savage demons, every foe is a sight to behold, and they all share a sense of eeriness that's quite memorable.

    Bayonetta 2 isn't a game that tries to reinvent the wheel; rather, it takes a particular type of wheel and tweaks it to the point of near perfection. It could use a more enticing storyline (or, at least, less of a focus on one), and there are definitely cringe-inducing moments featuring sexualized camera shots and tired innuendo. Still, when it comes to fluid combat with nonstop action, you'll be hard-pressed to do better.

It's also nice that you get awarded for not mindless button mashing, even though it looks like just button mashing at first.

    To the issues about oversexualisation and objectification of women:
    This game is absolutely over the top with their stereotypisation - they use parodies of clichés. You get the silly, foulmouthed italian mafioso type, you get the black tough guy à la Samuel L. Jackson Tarantino-Style, the slightly narcissistic beau-good guy Luka, the Italian Womanizer stereotype. And you get the sexy vamp "I care only about me" nigh-immortal witch, that finds pleasure in teasing everything and everyone. And she doesn't care about men one bit.

    The sexualisation of Bayonetta, in that regard, fits right in with the parody cast. Do I sometimes cringe when I see crotch-shot upon crotch shot? Definitely. Do I mind it? No. It is a parody of sexualisation and objectification, and fits right in with the rest of the cast and story. I am for gender equality, and I don't like the girlyfication and objectification of women in the media, and most of all, marketing. This, to me, toys with exactly that and makes a joke out of it.

    Oh, and, something nobody here or in any review mentioned: did anyone notice that Jeanne is very flat chested? She does not feature huge breasts, and that is actually refreshing in a world that screams "you have to have this big breasts to be womanly".

    Bayonetta 2 is simply fantastic. From beggining to the end it is a ride with non-stop spectacular action. It looks way better than Bayonetta 1 thanks to the artstyle and color palette change. I really can't find any cons for singleplayer. It offers a ton of replay value. Multiplayer is a little dull because of its 6 stage structure but its an allright addition anyway.

    I liked bayonetta 2 but it was greatly over hyped. Felt like a forgettable action game to me, enjoyable in the moment but not much substance. I really think if it released as a multi plat the reviews would be more in line with mine. If you already have a wii u it's a must buy but if you don't you aren't missing anything special.

    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]
