Bayonetta 2 is an eye-blistering action game — and the star is still the coolest (review)

Bayonetta 2 isn’t what you would expect from a Nintendo game. It stars a giant woman in a skin-tight leather outfit who isn’t afraid to throw colorful four-letter metaphors at her enemies. And while those aspects make it a curiosity as a Wii U exclusive, it’s got a lot going on beyond the “mature” content.

Nintendo and developer Platinum Games have partnered up for Bayonetta 2, which is a sequel to the original character-action game on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (and now the Wii U as well). It stars the titular Bayonetta who is a lanky-yet-curvy witch who must fight off waves of demons and angels to rescue her friend from an eternity in hell.
