"These boots are made for shooting," soothes the narrator of this Bayonettta trailer as our titular protagonist stands on her head and demonstrates said lethal footwear.

Coming from PlatinumGames with the help of Devil May Cry creator creator Hideki Kamiya, the stylish PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 action game hits on January 5.

  But good for anyone who liked the Devil May Cry series, I bet.

  It looks just like Devil May Cry, which makes it look good in my book.

  Are you joking? It's gonna be fucking sic!
  
  1) You play as a fucking witch, and battle the forces of good / light.
  2) You WEAR your own HAIR.
  3) The hair falls off you, revealing nekkidness, as you battle said forces of good / light.
  4) It has ridiculously over the top cut scenes / boss fights.
  5) It is both cheesey and hilarious (those crazy Japs).
  6) The gameplay will likely be very fun.
  7) The art will likely be fantastic.
  
  It's like the perfect game, what are you talking about?

    Wow naked women, what a great feature for 12 year olds. It's gonna be sic!
    
    Anyway, most of the things you said there will be a contra for a lot of people. I don't like the style at all, although I like the gameplay.

      Yeah, I'm 23 currently, but I doubt that would have ever appealed to me either. It's just hilarious how over the top everything is. I don't genuinely believe the game will be any kind of significant achievement but, looking at it now, that won't stop it from being the most ridiculously awesome game ever made (are you sensing my tone a little more now?). Basically, if you can't just enjoy a game like this (in the same way you'd ironically enjoy a cheesey 90s action film), then you're probably taking yourself / games in general a little too seriously. Not addressing this to you specifically here, just gamers in general.
