    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.

    Sega's loss is Nintendo's gain: Bayonetta, twirling away from a gigantic demon's maw and smacking the highest choir of angels on the nose, has just given Wii U its first true classic. [Nov 2014, p.100]

    The sheer polish applied to every part of Bayonetta 2 is something every major studio should aspire to: the exceptional and wide-ranging soundtrack, the huge number of unlocks, the Nintendo easter eggs, the “making of” materials, and the unlockable characters that bring their own style. Not a single thing has been held back. In this second adventure, Bayonetta over-delivers in every regard, and it will be a long time before another fighting game threatens her crown.

    Bayonetta 2's biggest disappointment may be that it's an iterative sequel, but it's not such a problem when it's iterating on genius.

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

    Bayonetta 2 is the high-flying return of everyone's favorite Umbra Witch. Platinum Games pushes to the Wii U to its limit with fast action, magnificent vistas, and huge bosses. The addition of the original Bayonetta just pushes the entire package over the top. If you're a Devil May Cry fan, this is a must-buy.

    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]

The game is extremely fun to play and must by for any Bayonetta fan, or fan of this kind of games. Graphics are awesome and the game runs 60 FPS, which makes is look good. Voice acting is nice and the soundtrack is what you can expect from Bayonetta game. If you have Wii U, you should pick this game up and check the first one too, maybe before Bayonetta 2, if you haven't played it yet!… Expand

The story is pretty simple and good, the graphics are jaw dropping (seriously some of those levels were downright magnificent), and the music is godlike (really freaking catchy too!!), and most important of all the game-play is perfection, the depth of the combat system is unrivaled(so many combos) and the amount of weapons in this game is huge. All in all the game is really worth the price, since you're getting two games for the price of one.… Expand

    Second Try at a review, here we go!
    Positives:1. Fantastic controls and smooth gameplay with a darn near perfect combo system. 2. Stylistic    Second Try at a review, here we go!
    Positives:1. Fantastic controls and smooth gameplay with a darn near perfect combo system. 2. Stylistic cheesecake gives it a bit of sweetness. 3. Comes with the original Bayonetta with additional Nintendo costumes that can alter gameplay style.
    Negatives: 1. Really cool cutscenes that I wished I could play. 2. Cheesecake can be kinda immature(Yes, it's in both categories) 3. If you play the original first, you may get some story deja vu pangs playing the second.
    Overall, still a good game, I'll say 9, dang near required playing.    … Expand
