Gamesradar: 10/10
"Better than GOW collection? YES, Better than DMC4? YES, better than Ninja Gaiden SIGMA 2? a HELL YES"
1Up: A / A+
"...and when it comes down to it, is the best game Sega has published in years."
IGN: 9.5/10 (PS3: 8.2/10)
"While in essence it’s cast from the same mold as Devil May Cry and the games that followed in its wake, Platinum Games have flourished that template with an imagination that’s impossible not to be charmed by, with Bayonetta’s first five hours enthralling and its latter seven absolutely mesmeric."
Game Informer: 9/10
"When you’re chaining combos together, switching between weapons, and punishing otherworldly opponents, Bayonetta is the epitome of its breed. It isn’t so much an evolution of the genre as a well-tuned and highly polished culmination of its history."
Pixelverdict: 5/5
The Gamer Scene: 9,8/10
Habs in schwer nun auch durch. Die letzten Endgegner waren deutlich schwerer. Sonst ging es IMO. Jetzt brauche ich erstmal eine Pause bevor ich mir den Climax Mode gebe.

EDIT: Mehr aus Europa und dem Rest der Welt:
Eurogamer Spain: 10/10
IGN UK: 9,6/10
"Bayonetta flies so astonishingly close to perfection. While in essence it’s cast from the same mould as Devil May Cry and the games that followed in its wake, Platinum Games have flourished that template with an imagination that’s impossible not to be charmed by, with Bayonetta’s first five hours enthralling and its latter seven absolutely mesmeric. Indeed, such is the mastery on display here that it’s not Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden or God of War that’s the best point of reference but Super Mario Galaxy, and not just because of that game’s shared taste for turning the world on its head – no other title has astounded us with such a steady stream of escalating wonders. Bayonetta, consider us bewitched. "
