straight bayonetta
really clunky controls, game sucks at navigating you to the next location, boss fights could've been handled a lot better, overall really below average but i want a remake (because a remaster would not change the Quality of Life issues this game needs desperately) and a sequel, game has a great premise and concept it just needed to be executed better
i just fucking found out YASUSHI NIRASAWA did the final boss design and when i was playing the game i literally said "this game sucks from start to finish but look at that final boss damn it looks cool it reminds me of nirasawa" and then now i randomly saw his artwork for it and fuck it i'm giving it 4 stars just because of that goddamn
A versão da Steam arruma os bugs e tudo mais mas como aqui não é democracia vou dar nota baixa do mesmo jeito
Fora o jogo ser sem graça.

Empty levels and gameplay is average

this is pretty janky and unsure of itself in a lot of ways (is it a musou?? an arcade shooter?? a big setpiecey spell combat thing?? its mostly just empty and busted!) but the tacky B movie vibe is hysterical and does a lot of legwork. A few of the more surrealist levels rule (loved fighting a bunch of 5fps quadrupedal eyeballs atop a plane) and the baffling cutscenes keep things moving just well enough to milk some gonzo enjoyment out of the whole deal. At its best this feels like Earth Defense Force meets an Underworld movie. A lot of bizarre sound effects feel a bit knowing: the mutated zombie enemies that flail at you while making turkey gobbling noises are up there with the "DONT WANT 2 DIEEEE" zombies from dead prem and i adore them. It's honestly pretty sad there are so few semi-big publisher games that feel as peculiar, haphazard, and gleefully tacky as this nowadays. Alicia's rose spear spell is also literally the origin point for the Dark Execution sealed verse in Nier (Cavia clearly re-used a slightly reskinned version of the same animation and programming) so thats a fun little trivia thing I guess!!!!

the 360 release is garbage. the steam version fixes a lot of the game's biggest problems and turns it into a decently fun third person shooter
Bayonetta 0.2
The best worst game. Something every game designer or game mechanic maker (whatever they are called) needs to play.
incredibly entertaining fast food gaming. zero substance, great looks... kinda like a merge of Cavia's weirdo PS2 games with that 360 shine.
this is the antithesis of Homefront's boring approach to this genre of minimalistic shooting affair and that's good.

The game is more interesting as a footnote of how during the ps3/360 era Japanese game development went to shit than the game itself.
ThorHighHeels made a great video about games that came out during this era that I recommend a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRac2yEpAI0&ab_channel=ThorHighHeels

Pure, utter garbage.
Plays like ass.

Is Alicia a bad chick? Could she get it?
There are some interesting ideas here, the skeleton of a good game even, but unfortunately it's VERY unfinished and the level design simply doesn't fit the mechanics at all. I'd recommend checking it out because it's short and pretty interesting, but don't expect to have a fantastic time with it.
