    Hacking your way through hell is quite enjoyable, and fortunately, making your way through all nine circles of it provides the game with a decent length.

    In terms of technical presentation, Dante's Inferno is a shining example of how an action game should be done on the PSP.

    Both as a game and as an adaptation, Dante's Inferno is a noteworthy game, in a genre which is not so crowded and well-attended in the PSP. It does well what it tries to do, without taking too much risk.

    Even better than the 360/PS3 game. A must buy for fans of God of War: Chains of Olympus.

    Despite its scaled-back nature and too-late release on the PSP, Dante's Inferno is a pretty good action title with some over the top visuals and solid gameplay, even if it was late making it to the party.

    Dante´s Inferno on PSP is the same game than PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. It means It has the same storyline, the same issues on the control but with a great difference: This is PSP. This PSP version has a top technical visuals and take more advantage of the capacities of the portable system.

    It's as close to the PS3 version as you could hope to get, but that's not necessarily a good thing. [Issue#191, p.81]

    A nice porting that delivers the same entertaining formula of the bigger version. Thus, the evocative power of the settings gets lost in the reduction.

    The action-adventure with the slaughtering Italian renaissance artist Dante also works on PlayStation Portable. It features a lot of action and violence and is certainly one of the better God of War-clones.

You can absolve or punish your foes and upgrading you holy or unholy powers is a nice touch. The graphics are good without being spectacular and the gameplay is fun! The only slight negative for me are the controls are a little bit loose which prevents me from giving a higher rating. Overall good game for the PSP and I would recommend anyone who enjoys hack and slash with some substance to give it a go!… Full Review »

    Dante's Inferno is a good Hack'n Slash. I played the PSP version, which has less content than the others versions, even if is inferior than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, is one of the best PSP Games i played.
    This game have a original artstyle, good habilities and combos, good enemies and bosses, good soundtrack and a good book adaptation from Dante's Inferno by Dante Aligheri.
    I played 5 hours in the game and i think is a underrated gem and very different than the "God of War Clone" argument. It's a shame that the Dante's Inferno's Sequel will never happen.
    I hope EA listen to the fans and remake Dante's Inferno as the same that recently did with Dead Space.
    Don't miss this opportunity and play Dante's Inferno. An underrated gem that Visceral Games did a good job.
