Perpetual Drkness

Bayonetta made by Sega is the best game i have played in a while it has acutally got me back into gaming after a long spell of it sitting idle in the corner gathering dust. Now i play till my fingers feel like they are going to fall off this is due to the control pad i think.

The graphics are really good and well thought out and i curse them at the amount of lava that usually kills me , I was drawn to the game by the trailor i watched on a online game site and ordered it straight away and have played it most days since

Set in a fictional city in Europe, the game centers on Bayonetta the lead character , who uses pistols and magical attacks to defeat enemies. The game has five difficulty settings; its two easiest settings contain a game mode playable with only one button,  Its developers designed its characters with modern style and fashion in mind, and composed for it a largely upbeat and feminine soundtrack.

PLOT

In the present day, an informant named Enzo has joined up with Bayonetta, a witch who was revived twenty years ago from the bottom of a lake and has little or no memories of her past. When Enzo informs her of the possible whereabouts of the person that owns the ‘Right Eye’, an artifact that’s linked to her past, she sets out to find this person, hoping that it may help her regain her lost memories.

Bayonetta follow Enzo’s information to a city called Vigrid, and once there she’s often forced to fight Angels in order to progress. She eventually meets a lost child named Cereza, who wears glasses and carries around a stuffed cat. Much to Bayonetta’s frustration, the child believes she’s her mother and follows her around. Continuing her search for the “Right Eye”, she heads for an island known as Isla Del Sol together with Cereza.

When they reach the island, Bayonetta encounters another Umbra witch named Jeanne, who explains that Bayonetta was a child born from an Umbra witch and a Lumen sage. This was strictly forbidden by the clans’ ancient commandments, as it was foretold that this would bring calamity to the world. Jeanne says that for that reason, allowing Bayonetta to exist is a danger that cannot be accepted. In a decisive battle Bayonetta defeats Jeanne, only to remember that her real name is Cereza and that Jeanne was once her friend. Their reunion is short lived however, as Jeanne sacrifices her own life to save Bayonetta from a missile attack. When Bayonetta and Cereza enter a tower complex, Cereza begins to hear a familiar voice and claims that it is her “Daddy”. Bayonetta follows her and meets Father Balder, the supposed last of the Lumen Sages who has taken up residence in what is presumably the ‘highest point of Lumen hierarchy and society’.

Balder reveals to Bayonetta that he’s her father, and that he plans to reunite the three universes by resurrecting Jubileus, the Creator. To accomplish that he needs the Eyes of the World, and one of those eyes – the Left Eye – is Bayonetta herself. Balder explains that due to her memory loss Bayonetta could not awaken the Left eye, and the only way for her to realize her true potential was for her to regain those lost memories. When Bayonetta asks him where he got the girl, he reveals that Cereza is in fact her younger self and was part of the plan to make Bayonetta remember her past. Balder further angers Bayonetta by revealing he used a form of mind control over Jeanne to get her to obey him, at which point Bayonetta attacks him. A battle ensues between Balder and Bayonetta, causing the destruction of the top of the tower. Fighting amidst the falling rubble, Bayonetta ultimately manages to defeat Balder.

After the battle Bayonetta retrieves Cereza and, using her clock watch, she manages to open a time portal to bring the child, her younger self, back to her original timeline. However, this causes her to regain all her memories upon returning to the present time, causing her to collapse. A seemingly unharmed Balder then reappears, stating that the Left Eye had now been awakened. He then levitates himself and Bayonetta towards the statue on top of the tower in order for them to begin the resurrection of Jubileus, and take their place as the Right and Left Eye who would oversee a new reality for all eternity. As they both enter into the eyes of the statue, the tower’s outer structure crumbles to reveal a missile which launches into space.

With Bayonetta imprisoned, Jeanne suddenly makes her reappearance. It is revealed that a gem she got from Bayonetta managed to remove Balder’s mind control and allowed her to shield from the incoming missiles in the nick of time. She ascends the statue on her magically enhanced motorcycle by riding along the surface of the missile used to launch Jubileus into orbit. Arriving just in time to save Bayonetta, she pulls her out of the statue’s left eye, causing Jubileus to go berserk and consume Balder in the process. Bayonetta and Jeanne manage to defeat the deity, but end up in a free fall towards Earth. Both Bayonetta and Jeanne manage to survive the descent, and the epilogue shows them continuing their battles with the Angels.

Bayonetta

Is a witch who morphs into various different magical beasts and uses various firearms, along with magical attacks she performs with her own hair, to dispatch her foes. She awakens after a 500 year sleep and finds herself in an unfamiliar area with no memories of who or what she is. Over time, she begins to remember what caused her current predicament. 500 years before the incident that caused Bayonetta’s memory loss, there were two factions of warriors—the Umbra Witches, who are followers of darkness and their counterparts, the Lumen Sages, are followers of light. and this follows her on her quest to find the eyes of the world of which she belives she has the left side so goes in look for the right piece

There are several baddies to kill in this game and if you like to shoot targets and kick, punch them to death then this is a game for you i think it is aimed at a female gamer but it would appeal to male gamers just as much as the title character is kinda hot lol
