Bayonetta, The Good, The Could be Better, and The Curves


The hottest new video game vixen has been unleashed. The Bayonetta costume will no doubt be a popular one at all the cons this year. With the the glasses and witchy street cred, she has hypnotized all the emo, nerdy, and gothic chicks that lay eyes on her. Since Sugar Gamers is making an appearance at ACEN I think I'll do an article dedicated to the best Bayonetta costumes I see and hopefully get some tips. I have to admit she has great appeal, good sense of humor, witty, full of attitude and a bagin' bod. She's kinda like a female Dante (Devil May Cry) for me.

Game play is highly stylistic, somewhat similar to Devil May Cry and the controls are very fluid. There's a good variety of movements and attacks. Scenery and enemies are ripe with juicy color and shading, it's a very handsome set of graphics. Plot works for me, it's just complicated enough to keep me interested while keeping things simple. At the end of the day, you really just want to get to the hack and slashing. Music is a great compliment to the game and deserves an honorable mention.

Sometimes it can get a little frustrating, checkpoints can be a little far apart, but I suppose that adds replay value. The cut away scenes: Some of the writing while funny, is a bit cheesy. And I know, it's a video game, they're not looking for an Emmy. Still, I personally like to keep the cheese to a minimum. If you go too cheesy with a sexually charged game like this, it can come off like porn banter.

Speaking of sexually charged: I don't care how much nudity is in the game, I wouldn't care if she was running around naked the whole time she could probably get away with it. Some argue that she's just another slutty character to sell games. PUH- lease! She's just putting it all on the table folks. Let's face facts, ladies and gentlemen alike, you mean to tell you've never had naughty thoughts about your favorite video game character with the sweet body? Don't answer that, you'll probably lie to me. Even if she is a little slutty, I'd still hang out with her, she seems like a blast! To her credit, she's got a great ass for a bunch of pixels, sometimes these designers don't get the ass right, usually it ends up looking flat so props to them for that one.

HELLO!! YOU GOTTA LOVE IT!!!! Well done on your coming out Bayonetta, I have no doubt you'll make a splash and I KNOW there will be another game, with even more fabulous costumes.
