Devil may Cry 4 is almost identical to Bayonetta with different characters if I'm remembering correctly. I would definitely give that a try.


This, its by the same team and its really fun, although the story is meh and the dialogs are cheesy.

I haven't played it myself, but Wet sort of fits your description. Except I don't know how much replay value it has.

I personally disliked it. Just felt like you played a shooter with 100 kg of armour on slowing everything down.

Darksiders was pretty sweet and in the same vein as Bayonetta/the other games mentioned in this thread.

Demon's souls is a great game, but it's hardly "fast-paced".

If you want>

- No motion capture device used
- Fast paced
- Little to no «exploration», more actual gameplay
- Stylish
- Good replay value

Then the answer is Quake, as simple as that. Fastest gamepace, all 100% gameplay no bullshit, massive replay value, style in spades due to learning curve and movement acrobatics.
Aah thats the stuff..

The Dynasty Warriors series. It's pretty hit or miss though.

I don't get it, you play starcraft 2 while your girlfriend plays a different game? Why don't you just play a game together or do you not like the same games?
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I'd have to agree with Quake, it's really fun to play through and its really fast paced, it has good replay value because you will know what to do. If you're a speedrunner then seeing how fast you can beat a level/game is fun.

(Talking about the older quake that is, didnt like 4)

Yeah maybe try Darksiders although if she didn't like GoW she may not like it--I feel like it's a cross of GoW and Zelda.

Or maybe Infamous? May be a bit story-heavy though. Sounds like she likes really fast-paced, mobility-emphatic gameplay though so why not just have her try to get good at a fighting game? BlazBlue or something.

God Hand is great indeed, though simplistic (in a good way IMHO). Somebody also suggested Viewtiful Joe 1-2. Those games and Okami are not that similar at all, but they were all by the same Capcom studio (Clover). Okami was actually my least favorite of all of them. There's a lot of exploration there, which is of course counter to the criteria.
