    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.

    pure resemblance to god of war in every way from violence to movements, what really changes is the story. I played only 1,5 hour but I highly recommend this masterpiece! the story of this game is very good

    Dante's Inferno is a great game, it would be wonderful if they at least took advantage of this wave of remakes and made one of this game!!!

    El God of War de hacendado era una buena opción para entretenerse de forma eficaz y barata.

    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.

    Just finished first run and i cant believe i never played this back in 2010, fun game at higher difficulties with a great story. Character models were a A++++. The only downside was that it said "to be continued" at the end of the game and theres no other game :(

    a very fun game, I loved the story, the only bad thing is that it is very short, and that it does not have a prequel. But I recommend it 100%

    Um dos melhores hack and slash ja feito, mesmo sendo que é muito copia do gow rsrs.
    A tematica é pesada, não recomendado para pessoas sensiveis.

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    One of the best Beat Em Up slashers to date. They do NOT make em like this anymore. Game came out before Dark Souls and Bloodbourne and we do not appreciate it as much as we should.

My only complaint with the game was at times some of the platforming was unnecessary and boring just for the sake of containing some platforming and as well the end of the game seemed to lose focus and become disjointed. 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. Expect 8-12 hours and replayability.… Expand

    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

    My first thought after the first minutes into this game was "wow, this looks gorgeous !" Production-wise, this is one of the most well-made games on the PS3. Controls feel very responsive and despite the hordes of opponents the game throws at you, you always feel in control.

    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

    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.
