Bayonetta

"Bayonetta is looking great, and seems to manage making ultra-violent action both rewarding and humorous. The game packs plenty of action, drama, and sass together and while we haven't seen a lot of the story, the combat looks and feels both intuitive and fun."

We delve into the first four chapters of Sega's upcoming action adventure and get bewitched by the sassy British heroine.

From now on, when you talk about the best combat system in an action-beat em up game, you have to forget about God of War, Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry and every other game; that’s because Bayonetta actually has the most responsive, enjoyable, varied and frantic battle system around and I will explain why after the jump.
