    Dante's inferno is a good effort at making a GOW type game with a twist. 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.

    This game has to be compared to 2 things: 1. God Of War, Chains of Olympus 2. Dante's Inferno on PS3 And the comparison is very good. The game is obviously based on GOW, the same combat style, power ups etc. However, it also builds on it by the use of the Holy Cross - which I love. The graphics are excellent, and hold up well against the PS3 version. I would definately recommend this This game has to be compared to 2 things: 1. God Of War, Chains of Olympus 2.

In addition, the people at Visceral know how to do atmospheric (Dead Space), and it shows here too.… Expand

    Seriously, a reason to keep your PSP! Entertaining story, impressive details, a reasonable challenge. If you like God of War and want more levels and are happy with a story change and even inadvertantly learning a little than there's no flaw to be concerned with. Not For Kids!

    After playing this Game, I now want to Slash the A$ses of all the Lame Critics who said that this is a God of War Clone, Apart from the Genre, the Fighting Styles a handful Similarities, Dante's Inferno is a Totally different Game. The Cut-Scenes are Marvellous with loads of Nudity, Violence. The Gameplay is pure Genious. The Enemies are totally out of the Box, most of which are NudeAfter playing this Game, I now want to Slash the A$ses of all the Lame Critics who said that this is a God of War Clone, Apart from the Genre, the Fighting Styles a handful Similarities, Dante's Inferno is a Totally different Game.

The Enemies are totally out of the Box, most of which are Nude with their Boobs/Penis in full View..The Concept Art of this Game will Shock you. There will be Stages where you will be walking across Tongues, Intestines, Penis etc etc. The only disappointment was the Final boss Battle as it was too Easy, considering the Hell one has to from in the second last stage named Fraud. Personally I Liked this Game more than God Of War. Feel bad that it is so Under-rated.… Expand

    After 13 years since the game has been lauched, i can see that the Critic Reviews are completely wrong about this game.
    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.

    This game is much more than just a copy of God of War. It has a unique upgrade system that consists of two different parts, it has innovative enemy designs and an interesting story. The gameplay is challenging and requires a lot of skill which is also a plus. My only complaint is the unskipable credits in the end, you have to either wait for 15-20 mins for them to end or just exit theThis game is much more than just a copy of God of War.

    Dante's Inferno on PSP is the same game than on 360 and PS3. It lacks the visuals, but it mimics the controls, the gameplay, and offers the same storyline. Gritty and really fun, Dante's adventure is good on PSP, but it has the same flaws as the HD versions.

    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.

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