    Este juego ha sido delicioso en todos los sentidos de la palabra por que te atrapa con una protagonista tan sensual, tan desinhibida y tan pero tan rica como Bayonetta cerezita.
    Ademas el motor grafico es el que te da una experiencia que hace que aunque ya hallas acabado el titulo lo quieras volver a jugar una y otra y otra vez: De hecho este sentimiento no me lo compartia un juego desde    Este juego ha sido delicioso en todos los sentidos de la palabra por que te atrapa con una protagonista tan sensual, tan desinhibida y tan pero tan rica como Bayonetta cerezita.
    Ademas el motor grafico es el que te da una experiencia que hace que aunque ya hallas acabado el titulo lo quieras volver a jugar una y otra y otra vez: De hecho este sentimiento no me lo compartia un juego desde los Ninja Gaiden de Nes. Ya que el juego tiene esa lasciva sensación de hacerte querer no solo que saques todos los contenidos extras: si no que metasy saques una y otra vez el disco que juegues mas seguido con Bayonetta y su enviciante titulo

    Este juego te lo recomiendo ampliamente y es una razón mas que suficiente para decirte por comprar un Wii U.

    i consider this game as the exact opposite of "triple A" trend that lately hits the gaming industry :

    (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...    … Expand

Bayonetta 2 is one of the finest action games ever created. Its such a treat to behold the visual spectacle within the game as you string combos together and execute beautiful witch time torture attacks. Its made more special by the fact that this game may not have seen release if not for Nintendo funding it.

    Bayonetta 2's story is as nonsensical as the first. But the main attraction has always been the combat. Equipping different weapons allow you to mix and match and allow for greater experimentation. Want to put chainsaws on your high heels? Why not? You are also meticulously graded on your performance. It takes some real effort to get pure platinum. But it offers great replay value and motivation for fans to challenge themselves and become even better.

    Bayonetta 2 gives you some extra goodies in the form of Nintendo costumes each with their own playstyle. Beyond that Bayonetta 2 even comes with a copy of the first game for free. In a day where we are subjected to microtransactions and season passes trying to milk us for every last nickel and dime; its a rare treat to get such value.

    In a year where the WiiU got Smash, MK8 and Hyrule Warriors? It speaks volumes that I consider Bayonetta 2 to have been my GOTY in 2014.    … Expand

    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.

    Exelente juego, entretenido a más no poder, hermosas graficas, rejugable como pocos juegos de hoy en día, un nivel de dificultad en sus modos difíciles es solo para expertos, en fin un juego EXCLUSIVO para wii u que le da un valor agreado.100 % recomendable.

    Prettier and smoother than the last installment but basically the same game again. Wish there was more weapons and a longer story, but the game is still 10/10 because Bayonetta's character alone makes the game awesome.

    Excelente juego, juegazo por donde se mire, gradiosos efectos y ninguna ralentizacion, una gran historia que complementa la historia del bayonetta 1, tiene grandes momentos, grandes peleas, supera con creces al primer juego. En mi humilde opinion es el mejor juego del 2014.

    Gran juego, la jugabilidad está muy pulida, intenso desde el inicio, rejugable a más no poder. Probablemente sea el mejor de su género, si tuviera que decir algo malo del título, diría que el jefe final no está a la altura de la epicidad del juego.

    Bayonetta 2 is the best hack and slash of all time. Perfect action, a lot of colectibles, 4 charachters to unblock, Bayonetta OMG! She is sexy, her costumes and the costumes based in nintendo classics.
    For me is the GOTY of the year.

    I keep hearing people say that the Wii U does not have must own titles. I actually can say that about the PS4 and the XBOX 1. Bayonetta 1 was one of the best games for the 360 (the PS3 version sucked), and this terrific sequel ups the ante. Thank goodness Nintendo packaged the terrific first one with the second one. It gives fans a chance to get to know the world of Bayonetta.

    The game    I keep hearing people say that the Wii U does not have must own titles. I actually can say that about the PS4 and the XBOX 1. Bayonetta 1 was one of the best games for the 360 (the PS3 version sucked), and this terrific sequel ups the ante. Thank goodness Nintendo packaged the terrific first one with the second one. It gives fans a chance to get to know the world of Bayonetta.

    The game starts out with Bayonetta enjoying some shopping time with her "pal" Lorenzo, soon though the bliss stops as Juan stops by, (popping a wheelie I might add, this is a real show stopper of an entrance), and tells Baynoetta that something is brewing, and that she needs to get going. Well, when Juan and Bayonetta have a big fight, Bayonetta's own demon that she summons turns on her and Juan, and kills Juan and pulls her spirit down to hell. Bayonetta is not gonna sit by and let her friend suffer. She of course, goes to Bolder to see what is going on, and he tells her that something seems to be wrong in hell, and that she needs to get moving if she wants to save Jaun. So it is off to Fivelbender, were she meets up with a mysterious kid who has more powers than the average kid should. Bayonetta let's the kid tag alone, and soon Bayonetta meets up with old friends, and some new ones.

    The story is a big convoluted, (something about heaven and hell), lol but the Characters are so well written, the humor so funny, and some genuinely touching moments, (the main villain is not who you think it is, and they are not who they seem. The dialogue is cracking, and the story is good enough to keep you interested.

    The gameplay is pretty similar to the last one, but there are some new additions, like the Umbran climax which basically makes Bayonetta's moves more powerful, this gauge builds up the more you go into witch time, and the more you do the witch time, the more your Umbran Climax will fill up. There are also new combos, and new weapons, so it is not just a rehash.

    The game modes are fun, I do wish there had been a offline multiplayer mode, however, the online version is very fun, and little lag time happens during the play.

    The boss fights are extremely fun, and challenging. My favorite is fighting The "Luman Sage" The fights are intense, and add to the story. The action flows smoothly, and the moves are so awesome, you will want to play this game over and over just to pull off the awesome combos. The graphics are amazing, for anyone who has an opinion that the Wii U is underpowered, just take a look at this beauty. The textures are amazing, and the detail just sparkles like a bad vampire teen movie. (Well, only this game will make you feel good, not throw up). Also the action is just simply amazing, it is the best action scenes I have seen in any action video game. Especially when Bayonetta riding a multi mile, big and long title wave, and of course Bayonetta just has to catch a ride and hang ten. The action scenes are more amazing than any action movie I have seen.

    Anyway, (sorry) the game is one of the best games I have played on any system for this generation. Bayonetta 2 has amazing graphics, a good enough story, and the best action ever put to screen. I hear Nintendo fans say they want more games, well if you complain about a lack of quality games, but you did not buy this. Then you have no right to complain, there is no reason why this game should not be a mulch-million selling mega hit. I dare anyone not to play this game and be blown away. If your Wii U is hungry for another game, well buy this game. You will not regret it, and tell your friends. This game is too good not to own, either buy it, or contribute to the problem of great games not selling enough.    … Expand

    Bayonetta 2 is a work of art and my only criticism is that it had to end. It plays like a dream, being totally immersive and having a very rewarding combat and combo system.
    It's a game made for gamers, and Sega gamers of the late 90's early 00's will feel this game is a love letter to them. It will remind you why you fell in love with games embodying everything Sega ever did right.

    This game sold poorly cause it was only on the Wii U and the Wii U flopped in the market so that also factors into the low sale numbers.

    But I'm happy I brought a Wii U just to play this game.

    Bayonetta 2 is an incredible game and one of the best (if not the best) game of 2014, topping up his predecessor in just about every way.

    STORY: The story once again is nothing incredible, for me is pretty enjoyable like the first game and it's certainly more fleshed out this time, but i'll admit is nothing amazing. PRESENTATION: The Presentation once again is pretty freaking good,    Bayonetta 2 is an incredible game and one of the best (if not the best) game of 2014, topping up his predecessor in just about every way.

    PRESENTATION: The Presentation once again is pretty freaking good, the graphics, the art style, the music, and the great 60fps are all just superb and definitely one of the games better aspects

    GAMEPLAY: The gameplay this time is just as good as before, you can still do a ton and i do mean a TON of combos, some of which have been changed, you can still do witch time, which slows enemies down time and you can still do torture moves, but this time have an option, you either do the torture move or you enter climax state where all your attacks are powered up for a limited time.
    Once again the bosses are super fun to play against and for some are the best part about the game. There are also challenge rooms where you will need to complete a challenge like defiant all the enemies with which time or kill the enemies without getting touched, things like that, you do this to get a collectible to expand your health, magic, etc, this sections were also in bayonetta 1.
    There are some sections where the game takes a completely different gameplay style, becoming an on rail shooter, a race type game, etc. You also now have a hover ability which makes platforming around more easy and the game has some hidden sections to trigger optional battles, if you want a good ranking you will need to find all of them. Like the first game you can transform into different animals depending on the situation, tho some of them you need to buy them from rodin´s shop, where you can once again buy upgrades, new moves, objects, weapons and a lot of other things, that will make your journey a bit easier.

    Overall with great music, graphics, art style, variety, gameplay, combos, bosses, and just overall great EVERYTHING bayonetta 2 surpases the unsurpassable game, bayonetta 1 and gets without a doubt a 10/10.    … Expand

    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]
