Bayonetta has one of the deepest combat systems in any single-player game of the last ten years. The journey through Bayonetta's ludicrous, over-the-top campaign is one of the most fun, replayable experiences to be had in gaming. It's a shame then, that there's no way to directly test your mettle against fellow players, beyond beating high scores and combo chains. The flashy combat lends itself well to late night sofa tournaments, and is almost as fun to watch as it is to play. Due to the nature of the move sets in Bayonetta, the game would be great for more than just one-on-one fights; it'd make for a great four-player brawler. Fortunately, it has been confirmed that Bayonetta 2 will have some sort of multiplayer component. Whether this means co-op or competitive, we're satisfied either way.
