Bayonetta 2 is an outright fantastic game. It’s another very good reason to own a Wii U and it outclasses practically every other game of this type by a considerable margin.

I had a lot of questions in my head when I launched Bayonetta 2 for the first time. Is it possible to design a combat system as awesome as before, make it familiar, but not hackneyed? Is it possible to outshine the closing moments of the first game? The sequel needed just a couple of minutes to dispel all my concerns. [Dec 2014, p.62]

A more focused, more vibrant game that surpasses its predecessor and establishes itself as the best game on the Wii U and as the newest masterpiece of the genre.

I played it on Switch. This is a good game. - PLUS : The music ! The artistic direction . Some of the cinematic ! Some fights
- MINUS : Sometimes the fights are too confuse and repetitive. Some ennemies are not fun to fight. The game is not long and there is almost no exploration. A really really good beat 'em'all, really. But not more than that.

Buy it if you liked the first one. Buy it, if you love it over the top all the way. Buy it if you love video games. Buy a Wii U if you have to. Bayonetta 2 sings all its praises in a celebration to this hobby of ours. But don't make the mistake of not playing it.

Bayonetta 2 is a smashing success, and proves that the WiiU can be the home of some great core titles.

Bayonetta 2 is a silky smooth and highly-entertaining brawler that all Wii U owners should have in their collections.

Bayonetta 2 does not have the impact the original and fails to overcome it, but there are valuable additions like the cooperative mode.

Bayonetta 2 erects some of the most solid fighting mechanics and phantasmagorically gonzo visuals in gaming to date—certainly, something as compulsive and massive as this boosts the Wii U to the front of the pack—and through its formal choices communicates a singular, unfiltered vision of sexualization.

Over the top yet unimaginative. At least the fights are dynamic and the game itself can be a breath of fresh air, considering what else is available on the Wii U. [Issue#245]

Hard to believe that this game is a wii U exclusive. I played it so much, this is The God of War of Nintendo. It's even better than God of war on many levels.

It's a great game, but it's exactly the same as the 1st, the story is really lame and you don't care about the characters.

A fantastic game and a great female empowerment fantasy marred by camera issues that interrupt gameplay to do crotch zooms on Bayonetta. Deducting 3 points accordingly.

The gameplay was even better than in first game but the plot i couldn't care any less. The story was really boring and when you started to hope that it will rise to epic levels it was already over. The new look of bayonetta is ulgy. Older was better.

I love Nintendo... yeah lets start with that.. Bayonetta 2.. I feel the same as I did the first one.. I will say for the fans of this series that it was a great and generous idea to include the first one. However upon playing the game I wasn't too impressed. The graphics and the colors are very appealing to where you can tell they put a lot of work into it, and I can say if you're a fan of this series you won't be disappointed. For me in my own opinion I am a 28 year old man, so to me this game is obviously perverted and I could see anybody younger than 20 getting into this game (mostly young males). There's a fine point where a woman in a game can be a bad ass and still be attractive but in this game series they cross the line and make it obvious of sexually objectifying her. Yes I admit I'm not too fond of games and perversions like that. I can say yes there are games that have a perverted sense of humor that make me laugh but this like I said is why I see younger males liking a game like this. So besides that point... why else did I not like this game? The game really seems like a huge button mashing and most of the time you don't know whats really going on. The camera doesn't do the game much justice either. Combo system is great but with mentioned above doesn't serve much purpose. Another thing I don't like about this game is quick time events. I cannot go on enough about how much I dislike quick time events, so if you want to know how I feel then I wold suggest watching "quick time events ****" on john tron's channel. I am glad I got to try this before buying... Though I will say this.. If Nintendo is trying to prove they have mature games then yes Bayonetta 2 does the job (though they do have more mature titles). I will not be owning this game. I would say if you have never played bayonetta then take that 60 bucks you were going to spend and add that to the pre purchase of the Super Smash bros for WiiU that way you can play it Melee style.
SummaryIn this climatic sequel to the critically acclaimed Bayonetta action game, players will be on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Brimming with epic, gorgeous cut scenes and battles that are more exhilarating than ever, this game never lets up on the action. Fight on top of a jet as it soars through a downtown city.
