Sega has today confirmed that a demo for the much anticipated third person action title Bayonetta will be released on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network in the US and across Europe on December 3rd.

“Developer PlatinumGames has delivered a true masterpiece,” said Gary Knight, SEGA Europe.

“The recent perfect review scores in such highly respected magazines as Weekly Famitsu and EDGE show the sheer quality of this title. We firmly believe that Bayonetta will go on to become one of the all-time benchmarks in action gaming.”

Bayonetta has achieved a perfect score of 10/10 in EDGE magazine in the UK, becoming only the 11th game to do so in the magazine’s history since its first issue in 1993.

Bayonetta was also recently reviewed by Japan’s most respected games magazine Weekly Famitsu, achieving a perfect score of 40/40 for Xbox 360 and 38/40 for PlayStation 3, with both scores garnering a Platinum award.

It’s the only 12th game ever to receive a perfect score in the magazine’s history since its first issue in 1986.

Bayonetta will release in January from the 5th in the US and 8th in Europe for Xbox 360 and PS3.
