In Dante's Inferno, players assume the role of Dante as he travels on an epic descent through Dante Alighieri's nine circles of Hell – limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery.
What do you think?
I for one can't wait to go to hell.
I just looked at the release date and all I could say is they got lucky it isn't coming out right after God of War 3. No, I'm not going to get this right away, rather, I'll be waiting for a price drop; GoW3 is the shit I'm after.
This game is just something to keep you from getting bored waiting for GoW3.

Really? This was the best you played in a while? I honestly can't say I was that impressed. What the fuck does this even have to do with Dante's Inferno? Because it takes place in hell? That is the only actual parallel it seems to draw from the the source material, although I would probably be remiss in calling it that. Still, even if we can all agree it's just a name to make it sound more badass, it still looks like 80% of the other games for the PS3 lately. Just think about the games for the system lately, how many of them didn't involve some guy with some melee weapon pulling of combos onto hordes of enemies, in a 'god of war' fashion if you will (Let's all pretend that GoW was the first game to do that). It's the same damn game over and over with a slightly different story, and this story is just silly.
The first thing you have to do is kill Death himself...with his own scythe. Yes, it certainly feels like a typical badass thing to do, but the simple fact that this even was an option is ridiculous. Are you death now? Can people still die, have you upset the cosmic balance of the world? All these questions should run through the character's head, instead we're mostly reminded that his constantly naked girlfriend needs him. At the very least, the demo could have explained the point behind punishing and absolving people, although I'm not even going to get into what exactly happens to a skeleton warrior that you have punished in hell. Where does he go? Double hell?
It's not like I hate this game. Someone out there has found the formula for a game that easily passes as playable and will sell enough copies to be profitable, but it's still the same damn game over and over. After a while it gets tiring. The only saving grace is that there are games just like this which are a even worse. The dodging in this one isn't bad. I'd play it for the dodging alone, I suppose.
