Bayonetta was a first pressing download code in Japan. She showed up on the Playstation store as paid DLC later on. Probably the same deal in NA.

And the two extra game modes could be obtained for free from the game's website.  That is some lame preorder bullshit.

I was thinking of double-dipping and picking up the 360 version, but it seems like most people are going for the PS3 version so I'll stick with the import.

Great game! 

I still may get it again since it's only $29.  Remember that the Gamestop pre-order version comes with codes for Bayonetta and two extra multiplayer modes.  One is throwaway, but you get an extra co-op mode in Mad Survival.

But I won't be suckered into buying Rising from them for the cyborg ninja skin!

Yep, I've got MA at Gamestop, but MGR at Amazon, too. The cyborg nina skin doesn't do much for me when I've got $200 in Amazon gift cards to use.

hmm, PvP is kinda weak as expected.  Capture the Flag was pretty cool, though hectic.  And the host dropped after he lost, so nobody got XP.  It seems like if you try to search individual game types for online, nothing shows up, and if you choose "All" you get plopped into CTF.  Basically the same bullshit I remember putting up with when I've attempted to play non-Fighting games online...nothing ever works right.  I went a few 1v1 matches with a lvl 50 Japanese player and won 2 rounds each time, with the other 3 being close calls.  All he had on me tech-wise was a couple juggle combos.  Basically, there isn't much skill to this in PvP.  But it's addicting, I played online matches for a good hour last night, so I'll keep going.

Single player campaign is great fun.  Hoping to do some co-op sometime!

Quick Match usually puts you into whatever mode might be open by someone or was just opened by someone who dropped out.  I usually get Team Deathmatch...if you want to select other modes, that's what custom searches are for!

There's not a lot of skill involved, yeah- but remember that you do unlock abilities that can be equipped, and certain ones will give higher-level players an advantage.  Character balance is also a little fucked up in versus games, but manageable.  The characters you unlock last and Bayonetta are pretty much the best ones in the game, although you will see people owning the fuck out of everyone with the bull.  I've also seen people getting tons of kills with Leo.  Jack seems to be the worst.

yeah, i'm not expecting balance or anything.  it's not a super serious competitive game, which makes it even more fun.  I think campaign and co-op are where I'll get my mileage.  It's nice to have a new brawler instead of playing the old ones all the time, as good as they are.

I didn't know you could do it that way. I'll try when I get home, but it sounds like both ways the codes don't work right now.

Create your own match...most people seem to just do quick searches they'll join yours!

So I've finnisned the campaign and what can I say other then I liked the game.

It's a pretty simple beat-em up and for a novice thats fine with me. The game feels very inviting in how it basically seems to give you time and que you to do stuff like jungles and stuff. I can't so it's complicated, but it makes getting into the game pretty simple as it's simple to figure out how to do combos. But other then that, everything else just feels smooth and fine. Never had any trouble with movement or camera placement. It's just an easy going and fun beat-em up.

And I liked the single player campaign. One things for sure is that the game never bored me as I believed was possible from the demo. You don't need to grind to get to the next mission as getting points is pretty fast, you can get them all from doing the missions themselves. Plus since points don't carry over from stage to stage, it really makes you not want grind on what you would think is an easy points mission. And a lot of the missions are kind of varied. I mean they are all just kill stuff missions, but some have you do it in very dumb and stupid ways. These variations may not play that well, but they are pretty stupidly entertaining and not really annoying. They help keep the game fresh. Plus the actual boss battles are really fun.

As for the presentation. Hey it looks pretty good to me. I mean it's obviously running on that Platnium Engine and it's not the best looking game ever, but I don't know it just looks solid. The Hong Kong level to me looked pretty damn good. All the characters look good and well look cool. They all have personality and I like how shapely some of the women are, obviously Platinum like's butts.

I won't really be playing a lot of the multi. I tried, but it's just really chaotic and I'm not really good.

Anyway,  it's just a fun simple action game from Japan. It won't rock the world, but it was very solid.

Make sure to play through both sides to get the real ending and the option to play as any character in story mode.

It sounds like you didn't try multiplayer for a long enough period of time- if deathmatch isn't your thing, play Survival and Mad Survival.  3P online co-op against waves of enemies.  It's awesome!

Well yeah of course I did the red side. I'm looking forward to use the other characters on a replay.

As for the multi I did some team deathmatch. I mean it's kind of fun, but I'm not really good at fighters to begin with.

And I think if you press select(at least on PS3) it skips cutscenes. I mean what they are talking about in them is kind of stupid, but I thought they looked pretty good. And some were kind of funny.

Last year I was tearing it up in the demo online.  Now I'm foundering in the campaign on normal mode.  I've both forgotten how to play this and any action game reflexes have atrophied. And this is only a brawler! Rising will be a brutal reawakening.
 
I can't even remember if there's a parry move.

Haha, a similar thing happened to me when that racing game Blur came out. I was placing top 3 every race in the demo. I was feeling all kinds of high on my own shit. Full game comes out, I played online with some Boritos, dead last. every. single. race. :lol

This.  And the codec parts where the faces animate 1.5x longer than the audio.

For real, I'm not enjoying the campaign much.  I finished black side but it's that same Smash Bros feeling of grinding to get the characters to finally play multiplayer.  Now I gotta do white.  And I didn't realize that unlocking abilities were linked to grinding out in the hub worlds by getting 100 kills in each (times two for each side).  Disappointing on that front.
