I haven't played any Devil May Cry/ GOW esque games in a while though, so this is fresh to me<br /><br />One thing worth asking though...<br /><br />How much do you 'heart' Sega?<br /><br />As that has definitely played a part in my early enjoyment of this game.<br /><br />The thing I like about Bayonetta is the Sega references I keep picking up on.<br /><br />Let's start with the obvious...you collect Rings ("Halo's"), and the bad guy is referred to as "Eggman". Sonic!<br /><br />Then there are things such as musical nods, and there are a few of these apparently. So far I've heard the OutRun "Magical Sound Shower" tune during a car ride, and as a massive fan of OutRun that definitely secured a smile out of me.<br /> I'm waiting for the Space Harrier music that I know is in the game somewhere.<br /><br />Also, the cool black dude who hooks you up with weapons and such, he is very over the top with his speech, and his voice sounds a lot like "Isaac Washington" from the recent House of the Dead overkill. I actually IMDB'd the voice actor to find out if it was him (it wasn't) but I'm sure that guy swam in the same idea pool (kind of like Capcom character; Mike Haggar and Zangief).<br /><br /> There are other references like these thrown in around the game, so for the Sega experienced those sorts of things are nice to see.<br /><br /> That alone wouldn't keep me playing if I hated the game though I guess, but so far I like it.<br /><br /> Perhaps this is just a love or hate game?Kermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124590910856224152noreply@blogger.com
