The great thing about Bayonetta is that it takes what was so frustrating about DMC which make you want to throw a controller through the window is removed and honed here.
On the regular difficulty levels its a challenge but the Easy setting makes it VERY VERY accessible.

No great shock it has failed to crack the top 10 in the January NPD game sales in the US. I’d love to see the European numbers.

I still stand by what I said too, it’s a fantastic game.

I had the same initial thought as Ian after reading your post – “Wow.” Even putting it in the same CONVERSATION as your favourite game ever is extremely high praise.

Now I’ll have to check out the demo of this and decide for myself though DMC4 never really did it for me (at least the demo anyway). Maybe I needed to spend some more time with it I dunno but I’ll get on this demo and check back with you in a bit.

Oh, and I <3 Japanese games. It's funny how you mention EA and Activision because even though I don't think anyone can doubt how successful they've become, I don't know that I ever look to either company with really high regard. I mean, EA seems to just bank on their sports games while Activision seems to do what?… Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk? Don't get me wrong, I like all these games plenty, but they don't just get my admiration as do ones with so much unique character to them such as Ninja Gaiden II, Gears of War, Borderlands etc

There’s a demo on Live so you can check it out. It is a very acquired taste I would say, definitely quirky but if you want to expand your horizons then this is right at the end of the scale marked “lunacy”

Wow.

Having never played Devil May Cry before (don’t throw anything at me, I just haven’t) but understand the basic idea of the game you have me intrigued.

I’m still skeptical enough to rent it rather then buying it outright, but you have my interest peaked !

I’m still getting used to Japanese styled games, but it’s time for me to broaden my horizon anyways.
