So, it turns out I can't stop playing the demo. The game is absolutely amazing, of course, but this song is what seals the deal. As soon as the action starts, your ears get awarded with this beauty.

An absolute beauty.

That isn't Rules of Nature. Or I'm My Own Master .

[Phil S.]

Without any context, no, I cannot agree. It's not bad, though, but definitely not best battle theme ever!

I'm glad you really like it, though!

 

[popyea]

I don't like it as much as Mysterious Destiny. I don't know if either are really battle themes though; more like character theme songs.

 

[Pappasman]

Its sooooo good. Not sure what it is exactly, but something about it just fits perfectly.

 

[ZeroX03]

It's okay, would hardly call it best ever though.

That isn't Rules of Nature. Or My Own Enemy.

[『Inaba Resident』]

One of the best. So goooooooood

 

[Spinluck]

I don't know if I dig it.

Made me miss the terrible version of Fly Me To The Moon from the first game.

The game feels fucking fantastic though, and the soundtrack really fits. I may not like it, but I wouldn't change it. I guess it just works with Bayonetta.

 

[BloodyJasonMask]

It's good but not the best. Collective Consciousness shits on this.

 

[GWX]

That isn't Rules of Nature. Or My Own Enemy.

#teamrevengeance

Not even close. I mean, those are awesome in their own way, but they can't touch the queen.

bang bang, down down

 

[Arozay]

It was bad 3 seconds in. I'd feel like I have to play the game in secret.

 

[TatteredHat]

It's really fitting, we'll have to see how many battle / boss themes the final product ends up with though. Until then I think MGR:R is a bit better.

 

[batbeg]

Having never played Bayonetta I was pleasantly surprised by the music for sure. All the same I must unfortunately disagree with the premise of the thread and go with Chaotic Dance from Baten Kaitos.

 

[Jamix012]

Wow this is great. I think I prefer it to Rules of Nature actually, damn.

Every time I see Baten Kaitos mentioned anywhere in a positive light, it puts a smile on my face.

 

[Ostinatto]

In a universe where Shadow of the Colossus exists, NO.

[itchyass86]

Excuse my French, but the battle theme for B2 gives me the massive feels. Like massive. MASSIVE.

Pretty high up there next to FFXII's Boss Theme.

[Zalman]

Noticed how great the music was when I played the demo. It's really unique.

 

[matrix-cat]

I'm My Own Master Now with the flamenco guitar intro has that one sewn up, I'm afraid.

TIME TO LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIIIIIIIIIIIIND

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

In the end it comes always down to peoples taste in music. But let's say Tomorrow is mine is very Bayonetta. I love it and fits very well.

 

[killatopak]

Not the best but definitely great.

DMC3 battle theme is stuck to my head.

 

[Nakho]

C'mon, Rules of Nature is much better. Also, the way the singer sings is kinda weird... like she puts too much emphasis on pronouncing every word correctly.

 

[Moaradin]

Bayo 2 has an amazing soundtrack. I love the version of Moon River. Better than Fly Me To The Moon in Bayo 1 IMO.

Oh yes, Moon River is amazing as well. Definitely prefer it to Fly Me To The Moon too.

 

[Keasar]

Definitely up there among the best (the others being all from other Platinum Games as well). After playing the demo, it just fit so well with the action.

 

[Glass Rebel]

One of the best in an action game for sure. I've always been a sucker for battle theme's with lyrics and this is no exception. Only stuff from Metal Gear Rising really competes with Tomorrow is Mine.

bang bang, down down~

 

[silva1991]

Fly me to the moon is better imo

 

[Zebetite]

C'mon, Rules of Nature is much better. Also, the way the singer sings is kinda weird... like she puts too much emphasis on pronouncing every word correctly.

I think it's less to do with pronunciation and more to do with a vocal jazz sorta thing. Whether or not you think she's doing a good job of it is up to you and you alone.

I really like the chorus.

 

[rootbeerafloat]

Holy crap, Moon River is in Bayonetta 2? And here I thought I couldn't get any more excited for it.

 

[Hypron]

That isn't Rules of Nature. Or I'm My Own Master .

Edit: tired and can't remember track titles

Those two songs ain't even the best in the game. It Has to Be This Way, The Sands of Time, Hot Wind Blowing and The Only Thing I know for Real are better imo.

 

[Persona7]

I love it. Same with mysterious destiny.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

The music in Bayo games just work for me. I love them when I'm playing the game and I don't feel like they take me out of it.

 

[zoukka]

i dunno, I am excited about the game, but this song doesn't sound very appealing. The vocals are pretty cheesy in a bad way.

 

[ULTROS!]

This ain't Blinded by Light or Reach Out to the Truth.

 

[MicH]

Not the best ever to me, but it's pretty darn good!

Xenoblade's Confrontation with Enemy / Engage the Enemy is the best ever

 

[MissileTrick]

I still like fly me to the moon more, but it might be cause I heard it a lot. I really enjoy tomorrow is mind though.

 

[wanders]

I prefer it over Fly Me to the Moon and Mysterious Destiny

 

[LordBaztion]

I still preffer Fly me to the moon.

 

[wanders]

This ain't Blinded by Light or Reach Out to the Truth.

Get this engrish stuff out of here

 

[Famassu]

Surprising lack of "ewww JPOP shit" comments! (good) I like it, but probably not enough to put it at the top.

i dunno, I am excited about the game, but this song doesn't sound very appealing. The vocals are pretty cheesy in a bad way.

It's probably intentionally cheesy, much like the Bayonetta games themselves. Embrace the cheesiness. The "bang bang" line is just plain fun.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Sounds like Persona 4.

 

[B.O.O.M]

I actually thought that was horrible :S Especially for a battle theme. Guess not my kind of music

Three examples of music I think were very good as battle music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1tmw0UsrZc (GOW3) : Hercules Battle theme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b82WavFKbOY (MGR) : Rules of Nature

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLhOgF4m6LY (Mana Khemia) : Disruptor

 

[Bl@de]

Sounds like Persona 4.

That's why I love it. It's just perfect when you fight

 

[zoukka]

You can be cheesy in a tasteful way or fail attempting to do so. Fly me to the Moon was cheesy in a great way, this just sounds cheap.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Sounds like Persona 4.

Heh, the English is too good for that.

It's a fantastic battle theme, for sure. Don't know about the best, but it's good.

 

[SandMan2233]

Sounds like something from Sonic R...

Not that that's a bad thing, of course. Reminds me of "Livin' In The City." Obviously there are differences, but the general thrust feels and sounds similar. I can totally dig it for Bayonetta.

Best battle theme though? Nah. #teamrevengeance

 

[T.O.P]

so goood

 

[AlphaDragoon]

This is an awesome battle theme, but Metal Gear Rising's themes are still the GOAT.

 

[Zalman]

Sounds like Persona 4.

I didn't even make that connection.

 

[KyleCross]

I gotta throw my No More Heroes love down here.

Philistine
Bad Girl
New Destroyman
Henry Boss

I felt the games were pretty unmatched in terms of boss themes until Metal Gear Rising came around.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

As far as battle themes go very few top Rundas Battle theme from Prime 3

And if you ask me Moon River is the superior bayo 2 song.
