We bet you didn't know
Bayonetta was a (numerically) flawless game. As it turns out, it
is ... at least according to
Famitsu, which just gave the game a
perfect 40/40 review -- the first perfect score given to a game available on Xbox, incidentally. It's no secret that the Japanese mag has been handing out perfect scores at an accelerated rate these days. Of the twelve games to receive a perfect score --
Bayonetta included -- six were awarded
in the last two years. There are only so many reasons we can imagine that
Bayonetta would receive such high scores.
First, it could be that
Bayonetta is just a really good game. Second, it's possible the editors of
Famitsu really have a thing for hair witches. Given the involvement of
Hideki Kamiya -- one of the principal minds behind
Devil May Cry -- it's probably the former. At least, we certainly
hope it's the former.
