Unsure how you feel about the forthcoming Bayonetta? Not quite sold on playing a character who looks like Sarah Palin and carries a big chain? I hear you. Fortunately, a demo will be appearing in North America on December 3rd for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

The Official PR Line:

Are you incredibly hot?  Do you find it hard getting through the monotonous day without your specially crafted gun holsters on your ankles?  Do you have long, flowing hair with the tensile strength of steel, capable of pulling a 6-passenger car 50 meters through a Beijing suburb like Chinese kung fu woman Zhang Tingting?

Then Maxim and Sega want to hear from you!  Maxim.com is running a contest until September 30, 2009 to find a real-life Bayonetta for Sega’s upcoming action game, Bayonetta.  Sega stated that it is “looking for the one girl who best captures the style and attitude” of the ankle-gun toting protagonist in PlatinumGames’ upcoming title.

The winning contestant will be spotlighted on Maxim.com and will receive an Xbox 360 system, a 50-inch Panasonic TC-P50X1 Plasma HDTV and a copy of Bayonetta for the Xbox 360.  Entrants have to be at least 18 years old and legal, female residents of either the U.S. or Canada.

Maxim, Sega and PlatinumGames will select the entrants for the online voting gallery and fans will vote on the top entries at Maxim.com from October 1 to October 23, 2009.  PlatinumGames will then “factor in” all of the responses to determine the grand prize winner.  In other words, American Idol-style voting.  The winner will be announced on October 29, just in time to wear that Bayonetta costume for Halloween.
