Between floundering on the Moon in Majora's Mask and writing all those posts I cut it a little close on not being able to play Bayonetta at all tonight. I essentially only had time to see in intro. Bayonetta opens on a shot of a full moon, which makes a cute parallel with our last game. I like how stylized the presentation is, with many of the cutscenes looking as if we're examining them directly on a film reel, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the actual gameplay begins, where I was expecting a long intro cutscene. Instead we have an impossible-to-fail combat sequence over narration, which is a nice way to kill two birds with one stone and give the player a chance to get introduced to the controls.

After that, though, there is a cutscene of Bayonetta praying while a fat man rudely shouts into her ears for quite a while followed by Bayonetta and a second man fighting angels in cutscene for really quite a while. It's about 10 minutes in total, and while it was amusing, I think I would've preferred if that fighting took place in gameplay. Anyway, I'll get into it more substantially tomorrow afternoon.
