    I liked the game, although sometimes it can be irritating. The graphics are cool, the story is never-seen-before, and the gameplay is nice (especially your demonic powers). It's rather fun.

    I like the graphics and the maps , while the weapons and abilities are great. Figuring out the game without reading the manual , was fun from the beginning. I like the way you have to retrieve ammo and weapons from enemies , because it makes you vulnerable. Finding enemies who apparently are hiding , or looking for you is shocking and fun. The trailers don't do this game justice , asI like the graphics and the maps , while the weapons and abilities are great.

Finding enemies who apparently are hiding , or looking for you is shocking and fun. The trailers don't do this game justice , as it is fun and even wild enough to give it a 9 of 10. The only lack of anything I see is that the gameplay is not fully in an open enviroment as some games are. Definately , the sound is great , especially with the ability to select 3D sound , where the weapons sound real. The game is kind of spooky , while you kill enemies in long robes in a church etc. What's not to like?… Expand

    Lots of action, I really don't understand the low ratings here - in Germany, nearly all ratings are 80% plus!

    looks like what the next resident evil is probly going to look like and the idea of shooting stuff out of your hand instead of wasting bullets makes the game more entertaning

    Really enjoyable TPS, it does borrow a lot from previous game releases over the last few years but hey! it works and works quite well.

    Played the demo and loved it... Went out the next day and bought it. The graphics, sound and music are great. I also love the style. Voice acting is good and interesting story. The gameplay is fun with nice weapons and abilities. Just gotta love it! (gotta get some tattoo's like that)

    Infernal is a beautiful and visually stunning fun game that was satisfyingly fun to the end. It has a smooth and fluid game play feel all the way through. Cinematic cut scenes to voice synchronizations were not the best imo, but were not a huge distraction, as I have seen worse.

    Great graphics, I like the concept of the demon powers thing and I think the combat system is fairly new for a 3rd person shooter deal. I think the gameplay is smooth and its only downfall is that the controls are a bit clumsy to get used to when you first start playing.

    Great game, awesome graphics, ok story, over 5 weapons, the combat slows down just long enough to catch your breath, then throws you right back into the mix, youll love this game.

    Infernal isn't an infernal game, it's a demonic good action game. I'm usualy not into "Tomb Raider" look-alike games.. but infernal kept me playing until the last level (which includes one of the biggest bosses I've ever seen). The graphics are superb, the environments and the levels are interesting and the gameplay mechanics rather well thought too.

    Very well made, I love the unique idea even though the gameplay does steal from other games a little, but that is inevitable as there are so many games in this genre.

    This game is extremely well put together reguardless of the few chapters of the game witch do not allow it to be one of my best experices for long...I am very exited for maybe an Infernal 2? That or have some updates to have maybe more areas or new characters...then again a cooperative mode or any online would be wonderfull...if you can spare the cash and like 3rd person games, you will This game is extremely well put together reguardless of the few chapters of the game witch do not allow it to be one of my best experices for long...I am very exited for maybe an Infernal 2?

    Interesting concept to short of game play, the last bosses are a bit of a joke, ones early in the game were much harder to crack. Not a bad but could have been better.

    The mish-mash of styles and derivative elements on show make the whole game seem like a whistle-stop tour of the last generation’s classic action titles. [Mar 2007, p.116]

    In its better moments it's a guilty pleasure, in its worst it's embarrassingly retrograde. By being consistently fairly slick with it, it easily avoids skimming the lowest depths, but really it's the kind of game we've all long since grown out of. Or so I like to tell myself, anyway.

    Graphics aside Infernal is a pretty mediocre third-person shooter in a genre already boasting Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War: given this, and Gears' inevitable arrival on the PC, it's difficult to recommend Infernal.
