Bayonetta is so amazingly brilliant that I just want to explode with joy. Okay, the cut scenes go on too long, but I’ll be skipping those after my first time through the game – and, yes, I fully intend to play through Bayonetta multiple times. I probably won’t, because I’ll probably get stuck on a boss two-thirds of the way through the game, take a break and then never go back, but right now I’m in love.

(Let’s not mention the part where I got stuck last night because I’d forgotten a technique the game had told me about a few days ago. The problem with playing for half an hour here and there is that it’s easy to forget the tutorial stuff that happened days ago.)

My only real problem is that I’ve only got stone medals so far. Okay, so I’ve only completed two chapters, but both of those have given me the lowest ranking. It’s quite upsetting, as it feels like I’ve been doing rather well.
