Bayonetta: The Official Guide

Game Guide Book was in better condition than i thought it would be. When i opened it i was pleasantly surprised of how good it looked, had the famed ribbon & a little cheat card still in there. just a mall scratch on back cover as seller described. impressed

I work in a shop that sells game guides and this is the finest looking guide I have ever seen. I had already completed Bayonetta on all difficulties and earned all trophies when I bought this, I thought I knew everything there was to know about the game but I was wrong. Within five minutes of opening this book I had significantly improved my game.Well worth the price.

a brilliant guide for this over the top action game. breaks everything you can do into easy to follow sections and also fleshes out the game through the art section and designer notes

Covers every facet of the game. The quality of this guide is the best I have seen. Hard to get hold of now. This is a shining example of how it should be. The packaging was excellent and the guide arrived in perfect condition.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  For anyone who wants to master Bayonetta totally and utterly, this is the book to get. It will even make Angels beg for your mercy. It's that good.This is a hardcover guide with over 400 pages, including a 32 art and interview section. The book even has a ribbon bookmark, an imitation of Bayonetta's hair ribbon. There's also a nifty quick reference card which I use as my second bookmark. Actually, there's so much information I'm using three bookmarks.This is a very thorough guide covering everything from weapons, combos, accessories, strategies, combat techniques, enemies, strategies, secrets and of course the walkthrough. The main chapters are Scenario Guide, Pure Platinum Battle Guide, Angels, Combat Guide and Secrets.Future Press really did a fantastic job with the Scenario Guide or walkthrough, which is concise and easy to follow along. If you want to retain the element of surprise during the first play, you can just use the maps to locate all the items and the hidden Alfheim Portals. Finding the hidden Alfheim Portals without any guide will be a bit difficult as some of them appear only under certain situations. Note that under different game difficulty, item locations are sometimes different.Chapter 3, The Pure Platinum Battle Guide, details the requirements for the Platinum rank and the strategies for every verse, under the Normal, Hard and Non-stop climax mode. This and enemy section are incredibly useful when facing grueling boss fights. This section is for the serious gamers who want test their limits.My recommendation when reading the guide is to go first to the combat section to understand the weapons, combos and combo scoring. For a character, Bayonetta has more combos than any Street Fighter characters. The combat guide sections doesn't just list the moves, but also goes through the good and bad about them. This game isn't about combos, it's about combos of combos, and you can learn them here in detail.And finally, there's the interview with Bayonetta's Director Hideki Kamiya and Producer Yusuke Hashimoto. There are also some cool concept art for the game included.Overall, this guide is really great because it feels like it was written by a gamer who had actually spent hundreds of hours on the game.Highly recommended to all Bayonetta fans. Well worth the money.(There are more picture of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

First off, let me begin by saying that I purchase the official strategy guide along with virtually every video game that I own for - if nothing else - collector's value. Some of them are exemplary; some of them are horrendous. Regardless, I buy them simply to shelve them along with my games as I am an admitted compulsive collector of video game paraphernalia. With that said, let me say that the Bayonetta Collector's Edition Guide by Future Press is near perfect, and at the top 5 of my all-time favorite video game strategy guides. The presentation? Impeccable. The information within? Studious. The bonus material, featuring the interview with Kamiya-san and Hashimoto-san? Hilarious, and (accidentally) informative! Buy this book today, NOT tomorrow, with no second-guessing in your purchase or the money you spent...Trust me.

This book is absolutely essential for any Bayonetta fan. The level of detail in the guide text is second to none. There is little technical gameplay information available on-line for this game, but this book fills the void perfectly. For example there's over three pages on how to extend your air combos, with intricate walkthroughs, colour pictures and even video links explaining each step.The collector's edition of the guide is wonderfully presented with a hard cover and even has Bayonetta's hair ribbon for a bookmark!I look forward to going back through the game on non-stop climax mode with this guide at my side!

I was lucky enough to receive this guide a few days ago. I am a long time collector of game guides and this guide would rank amongst the top 5 guides I own.The presentation alone and quality of the artwork and layout is what makes this guide a real collector's item. The front and back hardcover artwork along with the red ribbon with writing on it to match Bayonetta's ribbon are great touches of quality that all fans of Bayonetta will appreciate.The information on how to best play the game is solid and well written. You can tell that the authors of this book have taken considerable time and effort to ensure that the best possible advice on how to master this game is provided.I would highly recommend this book to not only strategy guide lovers, but also those people who really appreciate a fine art book. I consider Future-Press to make the best guides available today and this guide is another example of their outstanding commitment to making quality strategy guides.
