Product Description
EAs Dantes Inferno will take gamers to the western worlds most definitive view of the afterlife as created in the 13th century by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri in part one of his epic classic, The Divine Comedy.It tells an adapted story that focuses on delivering a blockbuster 3rd person action game experience while bringing Alighieris depiction of Hell to the medium. Players assume the role of Dante, who descends into Hell after returning home to find his beloved Beatrice murdered, with Lucifer seducing her soul into the underworld. Dante sets out on a rescue mission to save Beatrice, but he soon realizes he is also in Hell to face his own demons and ultimately to redeem himself.
Players will take Dante through nine unique circles of Hell as mapped out and described by Alighieri: limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. Each circle will showcase its own distinct look, with demons, monsters, damned and geography that are crafted straight from the poems vivid descriptions. To take down the demons of Hell, Dante is outfitted with two primary weapons: the Scythe he takes from Death and the Holy Cross given to him by Beatrice, which has spiritual powers that will help Dante collect souls and spells from the creatures he defeats on his journey. The game also features a deep upgrade system so gamers can customize their abilities to their specific gameplay style, something theyll need as Dante comes face to face with Hells fiercest beasts and bosses. If successful, Dante will be able to tame certain beasts, exacting their will and turning Hells punishments back on itself.
Built on the same technology as the award-winning Dead Space, Dantes Inferno will deliver a fast, fluid and responsive combat experience running at 60 frames per second, a must-have for the action adventure genre. The game is being built by Visceral Games, with the same attention to poli

 Ok'ish July 29, 2010

In comparing this game to GOW3 the graphics are similar but the game play is not so smooth. The main character jerks about (more like PSP movement) giving you the constant reminder that this is a CGI rather than being emerced into the fantasy world of game playing. I see the game has dropped in price a lot...this is usually an indication of the type of game. Story is good...still playing although I do not rush home from work to continue the game unlike GOW3.

God of War clone, but still worth your time July 28, 2010

To me this is a re-skinned God of War game, but that doesn't mean it's not a good game. The story is interesting and the gameplay is entertaining. I also like the RPG like elements for upgrading weapons and such plus the searching for secrets. Buy this if you've played all the GOW games.
 Better Than God Of War...? July 21, 2010
josh91bc
I absolutely loved this game. I know alot of people say this rips off God Of War, but I completely adore the GOW series and Dante's Inferno offers a different experience, one which might just be better...
First off, the gameplay is fluid, engaging and so much fun. You can customise Dante's powers how you want and combat is brilliantly done here. The graphics are very good, nothing spectacular but it gets the job done. The story is amazing and very original, and the setting is perfectly executed.
The only real gripe I had with this was that it could have been longer - I beat it in around 7 hours. I hope they make a sequel to this cos I really wanna see what happens to Dante - the ending leaves you wanting more!
One to add to the collection, definitely.
could have been a better game. July 14, 2010

when you first start playing this game right from the begining you will know that its a rip off god of war.
though it could have been fun, as they put much effort into the graphics and combos.
except that you will finish the game in 6 hours , playing through a very stupid story line ( the devil wants to ..... dantes wife for example).
and if you start comparing the game to god of war 3 you will not go through the first hour of the game.
so a personal advice is : dont buy the game , rent it .
-if you did play god of war 3 then seriously; don't play this game cause you will find your self comparing every part of it to god of war 3 , and trhoughout this compatison you will hate the game like i did and may not complete the game...
and what is it with boss fights ??
for example the blind guy who smells people , all what you do in the fight is stand back and let him hit every where else the blind spot that he never attacks which is the center of the boss fight right infront of him . he keeps smashing and sweeping the floor but it never hits you and you dont have to attack him.
just when he pulls back you jump aside then go down to cut his tongue and he faints just for you to attack him for a couple of seconds then he goes back to smashing and doing what ever he was doing just to faint again and die !!!
many parts of the game made me say out loud that this game is really horrible.
so why 3 stars, cause if you dont know about a game called god of war then you may have some fun playing this game.
Dante's Inferno July 3, 2010
Luke Thrower
Dante's Inferno is a video game incarnation of the classic series of poems. In the game you are Dante , shown as a templar knight who must descend through the nine circles of hell in order to save his love beatrice from Deaths evil, cold hands. So a nice easy task then......
So a little story , to fill you in for the first section. The game starts off during the third crusade. Dante is there because he is on a special quest from king richard to take back a holy relic that the enemy holds, Events dont quite go to plan and Dante is asassinated ( My mind likes to believe its Altair on one of his rampages in Acre ), so Death inevitably turns up and lets you know that your now eternally damned, nobally taking the knife from his back Dante challenges death and so this incredible story of love and revenge begins.
The story is very well written, there are no plot gaps, theres always something happening which directly affects the story and you just feel really immersed. Not only that but I really feel connected with Dante, he is noble, strong and has such a strong love for Beatrice.
Dante's Inferno is an action adventure game with a few puzzles thrown in for good measure, although its pretty heavy on the action section. The game was criticised for being alike to the God of war series , due to the chain attacks and big weapons. This isn't a bad thing and the gameplay is really good.
You do have a range of weapons both melee and afar, but the game much prefers you getting right into the thick of it and racking up as many kills as possible. You do also have a slight magic element to it with collecting souls and a few magic fighting moves which use manna , in a similar system to WoW.
The Axe which Dante starts with is very powerful and has a big arc of damage allowing you to take out a group of enemies. Throwing this around is no mean feat, you can see by its arc that has weight and takes effort, Dante really swings in to the movement but always manages to hold his ground.
Dante can also use his holy cross to take out enemies from a bit of distance, I personally didn't use this as much because it didn't allow for combos and high scores as much as melee did.
Weapons can be upgraded and you can get new skills by exchanging them for souls, being Hell theres lots around so you can fill your boots. New skills though do come in either Holy or Unholy, meaning you can change Dante to an extent depending which skills your favoring.
This system is called "punish or absolve", simply put enemies can either be dismemberd by Deaths scythe OR they can be saved by Dantes holy cross. This becomes intresting when you meet up with a few historical figures and have the option to save them or give em more damnation, these special meetings take part in a mini-game style where, almost like Guitar hero, more experience comes when you press the symbol when their sins in the right place.
These quick time events also take place near the end of boss battles or taking demons, Im not really a big fan of these and think they disconnect you a little from the action. Nothing worse than fighting a massive battle and then messing up a button prompt.
The platforming of the game is pretty well done but its not its main feature, you have a lot of swinging and climbing but its more to allow you to get to the next round of enemies than it is exploring. This can become a little tiring as their soon becomes a lack of variety, it really is juts swing or climb down a ladder , there is no difficulty to it and it starts to grind you down as it becomes more frequent.
Puzzles are very simple and dont take too much effort, one of them actually reminds me considerably of a section in Star wars force unleashed , where you must keep pushing this bubble of death down a corridor and run forward until it returns.
Hell is a very powerful place with so much imagery and beliefs imagined over the years, being the main setting of Dante's Inferno it needs to look good. The graphics of the game are very well done, not only during gameplay but also cut-scenes, thankfully those are made with the games engine, so their isn't a sudden great change in the games visuals.
2 example of the game's good graphics are:
The beginiing of the game where you are fighting a horde of enemies , as boats and a sunset sit in the distance, great fireballs bridge the gap and fire down as you fight, the boulders leaving a brilliant trail in the sky. The arc of the axe as it flies is bright red , silver sparks fly from the centrifuge lines when it connects with an enemy or with the ground. The paved ground dips and rises as part of cobbles jut out, wooden stakes supporting the building have a subtle design and the general gothic feel of the stonework is a masterpeice.
The other example comes from the time spent in the circles of Hell, It is a completely different design. The space is lit by fires along the rocky walls, demons of all shaped and sizes stalk you through the levels but they aren't as well designed in total. The big bosses and important characters are but the others not so much, not only this but the fires of Hell dont look as spectacular or have as much gusto as I thought they would. It looks a bit more like a fireplace than the place of eternal pain.
The sounds of the game are very good and theres a very subtle soundtrack in the background but you dont notice it too much, just like a soundtrack should, it gives the game an eerie feel but doesn't over power the sounds of combat and moans. The sound of the scythe hitting your enemies is wonderful as it makes a suitable squishing noise. Hell is really echoey and this aids the eerie feel as it makes you feel alone, especially when you cant see what lurks in the shadows.
Controls are nice and basic for a good Hack n' Slash game, you have a button for light attack and one for heavy attacks. The sticks are used for moving around, when coming near any new movement the game is quick to point it out an aid you. e.g. rappeling , go to the edge and pull down on the stick. The controls are smooth and dont lag, the responce is almost instataneous so you do really feel in control.
100 odd hours of gameplay to get everything
