I'm starting to get into the game play again. After the LONG process of buying all the hideously expensive weapons in the other game, it's really painfull to back to square one. I'm finding Bayonetta 2 recycled a lot from the original. It's more like 1.0 and 1.5 instead of a true sequel. But the story is definitely different. On the upside, the Bayonetta animé film makes a lot more sense now.
