Dante’s Inferno has all the makings of what could be a awesome video game and has been giving the chance to be release one month before GOD of War 3. The whole idea of the game is that Dante’s Woman get taken away from him by yes lucifer himself and it’s up to Dante to save her. He strolls along the Nine Circles of hell with only two weapons the unholy and a holy crucifix both weapons can be leveled up so you can smash the evil creatures in hell. Unfortunately, it falls short in with the combat sequences and its shallow combo system the puzzles seem to be lacking the challenge effect they are way too easy. It also lack in originality but does make up with some of the nastiest enemies we’ve seen for a while if the game would have been release last year it might have made a bigger splash but with Bayonetta and Darksiders it’s hard to make the case for poor Dante.

The way hell is portrayed in the game is quite impressive but so over the top rated M content take away from the plot of Dante’s I tell you what someone had a lot of time in their hands. |
|
Some of the best creatures and we’ve seen for a while but the fixed camera angles can somehow hamper you as can the confusion of where the levels began and end. |
|
The way they setup the ambient noises are pretty effect specially if you play this with a sound system but the soundtrack could have used a few more tweaks. |
|
The lack of originality and simple combat where it’s mostly smash buttons to get passed the level or enemies and the lack of effort placed on making the game challenging enough seem to not live up to the current standard. |
|
Apart from having to go through the Nine Circles of Hell in such a fast pace won’ force player to pick up the controller to play this over and over again will just have to wait and see if the DLC brings something better. |

With titles like Bioshock 2 just around the corner I would say to wait on the purchase and see what Bioshock has to offer. |
