I've made no secret of my burning lust for Bayonetta, especially since playing it and acquiring a massive erection at E3. Seriously, I almost tipped the entire Sega booth over with my tumescence. Anyway, there's a new video that goes some way toward giving you a clue as to why I've got such a bonk-on for the game.
Yes, it's mostly because Bayonetta's hair-suit strips away as she performs more intense moves, but it's also because those moves work fluidly and beautifully in the game itself. It doesn't hurt that one of the bosses is a giant winged demon with an upside-down baby's head. Oh, and you can pick up giant axes and swing them about. And Bayonetta's hips move with such a hypnotic sway you could mistake them for office stress relievers. Ooh, ooh! And you can stick enemies in giant guillotines and then kick them on the arse while they're stuck in the stocks!
Yeah ... I like this game a lot. Hit the jump for the video.

Let's just put this this way: when I saw the sheer amount of moves I could do my jaw dropped. There's a shit-ton of combos in this game.
Sold. I'm going to go pre-order this right now.
Jim, do you spend all day in some dirty ass DICKtionary.
:)
Nice ray peacock catchphrase use though.
I like beat-em-ups, but I need a good amount of move depth if I'm going to REALLY like it. Looks like this game has tons of moves at your disposal.
Because it's ridiculous.
