 go buy god of war 3 instead. May 9, 2010

When playing this game I was shocked how this was so similar to god of war. Even the button layout was the same. The story was really corny and was laughable to me. I would describe this game as god of war 1.5. Back when it came out there was a reason to get this game, but now with god of war 3 out there is none. Except if you have a xbox360 and can't get a ps3. Then I would give it a try. In short if you have a ps3 go get god of war 3. If you played god of war 3 stay away from this game. This game will seem outdated and overplayed to you.
 Not quite God Of War April 28, 2010

If you are a big fan of the God of war series, then you would most likely like Dante's Inferno Divine Edition. The gameplay is very similar. You follow the story of "The Inferno" which is part one of "The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri. The openimg cutscene of the game recites the opening lines of the poem. The game also displays various lines from the poem. You can change the difficulty level on the fly which is helpful if you find the game too easy or too hard.

"i left alone. my mind was blank. i needed time to think to get the memories from my mind. what did i see. could i belive? that what i saw that night was real and not just fantasy. just what i saw in my old dreams. were the reflections of my warped mind staring back at me. 'cause in my dreams. it's always there. the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to dispair." these immortal words of Iron Maiden from their classic THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST taken from the cd of the same name come to mind when i first played DANTE'S INFERNO. the graphics are awesome and the combat is extremely bloody. there is even nudity when Dante who is the game's hero encounters his bride to be in Hell. Dante returns from the crusades carrying the sythe if the Grim Reaperto find his father and Beatrice butchered. he then vows to save Beatrice by entering Hell itself and killing Lucifer himself. i haven't beaten the game yet but the graphics are awesome. be warned the boss battles are almost next to impossible. parents pay special attention to the fact that the game is rated Mature due to the nudity and violence.

God of War 2.5 April 26, 2010
J. Rogers (San Antonio Tx USA)
This game is Fun but it blatantly rips off most things from God of War. From combat to leveling to movement this feels like it very well could be an installment of God of War except it doesn't handle as well. The Graphics are no where near God of War 3 either. As for anyone who read or otherwise knows anything about Dante's Divine Comedy This Fits Nowhere at all. It is very much a Rip off for the Name and thats all. The Story isn't great but the Christian Theme is something cool you don't get to see much in games. I do like Some of the Levels of Hell and some of the Damned design is disturbing. This is NOT for Kids and SHOULD NOT be played around anyone less than 13 for sure but to be safe stick with 17. I wish this game was a little less of a clone and developed some new mechanic or brought something new. If you Like God of War this is a good game but just not as good as GoW.
Dante's Inferno: God of War Lite April 24, 2010

Dante's Inferno seemed like a bad idea to me until I realized that the poem its based on is about as much myth as the Greek gods are, which makes it about as good idea as Kratos going on a warpath for and against varying gods. That said, this game is not nearly as much fun. The God of War series is always pushing the boundaries on what they do within the framework/gameplay of their genre, but this game seems to be treading water, always just above the line saying, "See, I'm as great as Kratos, honest!"
However, excepting a pointlessly annoying room of portals, this game is significantly easier and shorter. I found myself passing through Circles of Hell rapidly. Limbo was over before I knew it, Lust gone like a snap, etc. However, for what its worth, the game does give you a good sense of being in a stylized hell. At least at first. It gives you a fair number of demons to kill and, if you're into that sort of thing, monsters that well represent the sins they've committed.
Is the game fun? Sure, for the most part. Is it worth $60? No. Is it worth $50? Nope. 40? No. 30 or even 20 is getting closer just based on how short the game really is and how much more you get from the same gameplay in God of War 3. Anyone who doesn't have a PS3 would be better off saving the money toward this for a PS3 imo due to how awesome an experience God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, and Ratchet and Clank are. Those games alone will be a large return on your investment. That said, if you've some reason you're totally against a Sony system, then Dante's Inferno will be the only Kratos-like experience for you and I suppose you might enjoy it in that context. But know its a pale imitation of the awesome original.
(Be aware that you'll encounter a puzzle room with portals that you must interact with to move forward. It is in stark contrast to the rest of the game in that it can be very frustrating, depending. For my take, I'd say it was an annoying change of pace that I did not appreciate, but it did not surprise me because an IGN review had already remarked that it existed and it was annoying. I concur with the opinion.)
Graphics are fairly good, the audio is suitably creepy. The cinematics are a mix of animated, computer-generated, and in-game. They all work for me. The animated work toward showing scenes from the distant past generally (like tales), the computer generated show hyper-realized moments of the present or near past (memories or regrets), and ingame shows the immediate now. It all worked for me, I didn't have any problems there. However, be aware that for a saintly woman, Dante's woman loves to show off her buxom quality. I can't say I minded, but you might. Also, unsurprisingly the Circle of Lust had perhaps the longest breast shot in the history of gaming as a boss uses her assets to her advantage. Be warned.
Controls work well, most of the time. You get a talent system similar to Diablo or Warcraft series to go along with the Kratos-like gameplay, so you can build up your holy or unholy powers. Holy powers are built around the Cross weapon you have that fires crosses either at your enemies on the ground or in the air. Its reasonably powerful and some of the powerups are pretty awesome with it. Or you can boost your Unholy powers which are centrally based around your scythe, the primary weapon. With many enemies, just before death, you have the choice to absolve or punish them. Punishing them is killing them, absolving them is using the cross to disintegrate them into a holy light. God apparently forgives someone after they've been beaten to death (despite already being dead) by a scythe. Absolving gives Holy points that build up your Holy tree so you can access abilities higher up the tree; punishing gives unholy points that builds up your unholy tree. Its an interesting mechanic, at first, but absolving every baby demon by grabbing them and then rapidly pressing the button gets tiresome. There is an item you can get by collecting things in the game to make absolve automatic.
Everything else is God of War-like. Attack, jump, block, special attack. Dodge. Match button presses to buttons displayed on screen. DDR for bosses. Be sure you go onto Playstation Network and get the free extra 500 souls to give yourself a decent boost towards your first powers.
Regardless, its a good game. But not great. If you have a 360 and no PS3, its definitely worth playing. If you have a PS3, its worth playing as long as you rent or don't pay too much (or find yourself able to sell it for enough to make it not an expensive investment). Especially so if you've played every God of War and you're still itching for more, but games that came out around the same time are better. Before you pay full price or anything approaching full price for Dante's Inferno, be sure you've already considered God of War Collection (two God of War games from the PS2 upscaled), God of War 3, Bayonetta for the 360 (the PS3 version was done by Sega and has serious flaws), and Darksiders because I think each of these gives a better value at the prices as of this review.
