    Ah, Dante's Inferno. One of my favourite Playstation games. Fanboys cry about it being a copy of GoW, and sure the gameplay is similar but you can't really compare anything else. I recommend it to everyone. Hell, if you liked GoW why would you not play this one? Battlefield and Call of Duty are extremely similar but people love to play both, so even you GoW fanboys should get it.

    One of the best hack n' slash game that I've played. Incredible set of moves of the character. Way more refined than God of War 1 and 2. Scenario is incredible, lots of good bosses.

    a very nice hack n slash the story is based on a famous poem and it is really good the gameplay wasn't good and still it wasn't bad as you get more moves while you advance like rpg element and the places in this game are so good as you advance in nine places in hell in the end a good hack n slash game that deserves a shot

    Dante's Inferno came out as EA's answer to Sony's God Of War franchise and while it may not offer much more than GOW gameplay wise I found the story to be more appealing to me and is a great and decently accurate take on the epic poem.

    Dante's Inferno is one of the best god of war like games in 2009 it has lots of level that are great to play a look at. On the ps3 it is much better then the Xbox. Also it worth much more then what you pay for with custom attack selection for killing hell spawn. Finally the end of the story is very satisfying. Go pick up when you have the chance

    Too bad Visceral has closed with Dead Space. It is not a masterpiece but I liked it.

    It is true that it is not entirely congruent with the Divine Comedy. But Dante's hell is pretty well recreated

I get pretty angry knowing they have the power to make or break some games, some of them really don,t deserve to crit anything. This games is Amazing. The first point Id like to make is that you can see right away the passion that went into making this game. The team put there all into this baby. They enjoyed creating it and added there full love and attention into it...Well done Graphics: The graphics are great, The creatures are amazing, the little details which the team have added are just the cherry on the top. Like the little grains of sand Dante kicks up when he walks or runs. Animation: This is something that totally blew me away, the animation of all the characters was just perfect. The bosses and all the creatures really moved with cheer power behind them. They really put the effort to make these creatures as awesome as they possibly could. I honestly have never seen a better looking Reaper, The way he moves is just so damn powerful , all the bosses are just animated beautifully and you feel there power, which makes taking them down just feel amazing. One little thing is that you can work out pretty quickly their patterns of attack but they do look pretty:) Gameplay: If you have played GOW you have played Dante, This is not a bad thing. GOW is yes of course the master of this genre as GTA is to the sandbox, but who cares, Dante,s fight mechanics are Amazing to control, he moves well and all his powers are upgradeable, which just makes him awesome to watch and play with. His Main two weapons are a Scythe and a Crusafix...and both weapons are upgradeable, I thought the two weapons were a brilliant idea and they work amazingly. Sound: The sound in this game is great, you feel everything in this game, The voices and grunts and screams of bosses and victims always remind you that you are in total hell, You get totally immersed in the game and the ambient sound is brilliant always keeping you in this Hell. The stages are great, yes there is some repetition, but all in all just great to play, The one thing that kinda irritated me a bit was the fact that if you die in some places you have to watch a cut scene over and over again until you pass the area and cant forward the cutscenes in some cases, but checkpoints are easy to reach and there are loads of them so you wont have to do a full stage again because you died, this was great because it keeps you in the action always. I do wish Dante changed the further he went on in the game, If he got upgraded himself and became bigger or meaner, or angrier as he went along, this would have been awesome, but he stays the same through the whole game, which is not a bad thing but I wanted to see Dante grow into a damn monster of a character. Conclusion: The game is a MUST on every account, whether you have an xbox or waiting for GOW3 on PS3. I completed it in 2 sittings in about maybe 8-10 hours or so, Its a great length and once complete you get to keep all your upgrades and play again , you also open up a new mission and some new outfits. Its a game I probably wont play again for a while but the first time through was just amazing and I could not put it down. Oh and one more thing, wait till you get to control Phlegyas. Ahhh man what a beautiful stage indeed. Well done guys on an awesome game where the passion of your work is felt in every moment.… Expand

Quick time events were memorisable and could have been more action oriented by being random. Still this was a fantastic game to at least play once and it sits on my shelf for at least a while as a potential keeper. This was a pleasant surprize as I didn't think the game would be that great before playing it.. I may keep it but may let it go but just being in that category suggests its a fantastic game.

    I like the combat of God of war but the constant backtracking and puzzles are a gamebreaker for me. Dante's Inferno takes God of war's best part and leaves the worst. That's about as simple as I can put it.

    Dante's Inferno is about Dante, who is a crusader during the Third Crusade. Despite his faith, he commited several sins but a Bishop told him that his sins would be forgiven if he fights during the Third Crusade. However, Dante gets stabbed in the back by an assassin and fights against Death itself. Eventually he kills Death, takes hit Scythe and goes back to Florence, where he finds hisDante's Inferno is about Dante, who is a crusader during the Third Crusade.

However, Dante gets stabbed in the back by an assassin and fights against Death itself. Eventually he kills Death, takes hit Scythe and goes back to Florence, where he finds his wife dead. He then goes to a chapel, blesses the holy cross that Beatrice gave him when they were together and upon doing that, a crack on the ground opens up, allowing Dante to descend to the Gates of Hell, trying to get his wife back and find redemption for the sins he has committed.

    Gameplay-wise, the game really reminded me about the God of War series (That most of you probably know), which I have also played, because a lot of gameplay mechanics are also featured in this game. But the unique thing about this game is that is isn't just a copy of God of War - There are also new features in it. For example you can level up a holy and an unholy side by either absolving or punishing souls you find in the underworld. Both skill trees give different bonuses; The holy side is more about improving his holy cross whereas the unholy side improves Dante's scythe. Of course, there are also other upgrades like having more health or more mana. Apart from that there are also a couple of skills you gain from the main story and your skill tree that Dante can equip which give him unique abilities that cost mana when used. What I personally really liked was the atmosphere of the game - It really delivered well on showing what hell might look like. There are also artifacts hidden during the story which give unique bonuses to Dante's attributes and can be leveled up simply by collecting souls.

    Graphic-wise, this game can't step up with games like God of War 3, but the major difference is that it runs at 60 frames per second, whereas GoW 3 ran at 30, sometimes even less if there was a lot going on on the screen. Always when I play PS3 it feels weird playing games with 30fps since I'm mostly playing games on my computer which run at 60 and it just feels really laggy at the beginning and takes a while to get used to. That makes it more fluent and people who are used to 60fps from their computers should also like that.

    All in all, I'd really recommend this game for hack and slash fans - Enjoy your trip through hell.    … Expand

    The second thought was that the mechanics and even the main character feel very much like God of War. But that is not a bad thing, because God of War 3 was one of my favorite games on PS3. Dante's Inferno has a similar setting, but puts the player into a hell hell by Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy" and for me this works just as well as Kratos' trip to Hades and Olympus.
    As I mentioned mechanics, plot and graphics are great, the only less optimal aspects are that it does feel somewhat overly familiar if you played God of War like games. Also, the difficulty feels a little unbalanced at points, most of the game is fairly easy and then occasionally the difficulty spikes or there is some point where it becomes tedious trying over and over. For me there was one point of the game that I couldn't have beaten without finding a missable item and when I realized that, I started over again, luckily, you can beat the game in less than 8 hours, which feels just right. Luckily the developers refrained from putting in unnecessary filler just to make the game artificially longer.

    The game is not for everyone, the violence makes this a mature title. Players who are offended by the exaggerated depiction of sex organs and burning farts should also stay away. For everyone else, this is worth a try.    … Expand

    The gameplay itself reminds often of God of War series and is a mixture of hack&slay (fantastic animations and effects) and (terrific and partially annoying) skill tests - it'S flawless but not new.
    The skill tests (jumping sequences, time based tasks etc.) are like already metioned hairy but solvable at last.
    I mastered it without cheats (if there exist any) but there were 5 or 6 situations where had to try a level more often than I'm usually accepting in Games (that means I then stop playing).

    Have you ever wondered what hell might look like? Dante's Inferno offers an incredibly vivid and detailed hypothesis.

Dante's Inferno offers an incredibly vivid and detailed hypothesis. The game is based on the 14th-century Italian poem by Dante Alighieri, but Dante never could have imagined a hell this visually captivating. The walls themselves crawl with the bodies of the damned, other lost souls intermitently rain from the sky burning in torturous flames. In the distance, great columns of souls can be seen marching along monolithic causeways. The air is acrid with smoke and charred flesh, pierced by screams, fitful sparks and motes of ash. Each of the nine circles is here, along with the river Acheron and Limbo, and each setting is distinctive and fiendishly impressive. Through it all Vergil is your guide, just as in the poem.

    The gameplay is fluid and satisfying, with Dante boasting an array of combos with either his scythe, stolen from Death himself, or his cross that Beatrice gave to him. There are a variety of trinkets to collect - from the 30 pieces of silver received in ramsom by Judas to dozens of relics that Dante can equip to enhance his abilities.

    Dante attempts to rescue his lover Beatrice from the clutches of the Damned.along the way, Dante encounters many Lost Souls from various historical and mythological points in history,the player's interaction with these characters is not merely discourse, however, as Dante holds the power to either absolve these Lost Souls of the sins which condemned them to Hell, or hand down the ultimate Punishment instead. I consider this to be a brilliant mechanic that serves to immerse the player in a very personal manner, as it tends to compel the player to actually reflect on his/her own views of sin and punishment before deciding a Lost Soul's ultimate fate. Very well-executed.

    I had very high hopes for this title, but it has far exceeded even those. This game is one of the best I have ever played.Do your self a favor and BUY DANTE'S INFERNO!!    … Expand

    Although it is like Sonys' God of War Saga, it shines in storyline, graphics, and being able to choose the Holy or unholy paths, giving you the freedom not found in God of War. An excellent game overall.

    La Divina Comedia hecha en juego, un trepidante Hack and slash explorando todo el infierno, numerosos jefes finales, una variedad de enemigos según el lugar donde estés, una ambientación que te mete dentro del infierno y la jugabilidad similar al god of war pero con toques muy originales como el uso de la cruz o la opción de castigar o perdonar según la rama de habilidades que prefieras.

    Apesar da semelhança com a jogabilidade de God Of War e esse fator ter sido alvo de críticas,na minha opinião não interferiu de forma negativa,um bom jogo com ótimo enredo...O final é excelente!!!certamente merecia uma continuação.

    Dante's Inferno may be a bit repetitive and even tiring at times, but over time I have realized that it really deserves a 9 because of many outstanding aspects.

    The design of characters and of the circles of hell is faithful to what they would really look like and to how Dante Alighieri originally depicted them. Besides, gameplay is addictive enough and combines action with exploration quite adequately. Technically, it is up to scratch if we consider the resources available when it was released.

    If it is a copy of God of War or not, I do not mind it whatsoever. Dante's Inferno has its own personality and captivates the player during at least one playthrough.    … Expand

That being said, this game is on the short side a tad. If youre used to hack and slash games, this will be finished in a easy 8 hours. If not then maybe 10 hours.

    Creo que esta de mas el recalcar que Dante´s Inferno es un Hack and Slash muy "ESPECTACULAR".

El combate es frenético, los enemigos son bastante extravagantes y hasta nos harán sentir que realmente estamos en el Infierno. La ambientación es increíble ya que por supuesto esta basada en la divina comedia e igualmente la historia es muy buena.

    En el juego tendremos que tomar algunas decisiones morales las cuales harán que podamos mejorar nuestras habilidades en combate de 2 maneras para así obtener los mejores combos del juego según el camino de mejora que escojamos. Podremos perdonar a los enemigos con la cruz para mejorar las habilidades de virtud o podremos eliminarlos para mejorar las habilidades impías. Cabe resaltar que si no mejoramos a Dante en la primer pasada del juego podremos hacer una segunda pasada para mejorarlo al 100% y así poder afrontar el modo mas difícil del juego y créanme lo necesitaran todo.

    El juego cuenta como ya lo mencione con una gran ambientación y escenarios que en ocasiones nos pondrán los pelos de punta, conforme avancemos en el juego veremos a muchas personas torturadas en los diferentes circulos del infierno y a enemigos cada vez mas grotescos, deformes y difíciles.    … Expand

    Excelente hack and slash y a mi criterio no tiene nada que envidiarle a ningun god of war (lo digo como fan de god of war). Realmente es una verdadera joya, un juego muy infravalorado, lamentablemente parece que no tendrá secuela debido a que no tuvo las ventas que esperaba EA

    Um bom game, a única chateação ao meu ver é na parte final do jogo onde vc é obrigado a realizar desafios para avançar para o final do mesmo, ao meu ver os produtores ficaram sem criatividade e fizeram isso para alongar o game, fora isso cada circulo do inferno de mostra detalhe gráficos muito bem feito de acordo com cada temática.

    The Divine Comedy made into a game, a fast-paced hack and slash exploration of all of hell, numerous final bosses, a variety of enemies depending on where you are, a setting that puts you in hell and gameplay similar to God of War, but with very original touches such as the use of the cross or the option to punish or forgive depending on the branch of skills you prefer.

    Despite its visual aspect that was a bit below the standard ofn the genre, Dante's Inferno is able to provide fun and hold you until the end of the game. For some it can become repetitive and uninteresting, but it is a great choice for lovers of the genre.

    Obviously, critics will obsessively compare Dante's Inferno to other games, or complain about the quick time events, but don't let those nitpicky issues prevent you from experiencing this imaginative and fun adventure. It's one Hell of a good time..
