    I'm surprised with this review. I thought every one would agree that Dante's Inferno was a good game. For me it is at least an 8, and surely more memorable than God of War 3. I only agree with the reviewer that the last part of the game was poor.

    omg you couldn't even go one minute without making a ridiculous comparision. Yes God of War takes you into Hell, it is based Greek mythology. Dantes Inferno takes you to Hell, based of a piece of classic literature. Both feature a dood looking to avenge a lady. Correct me if I am wrong, but most every game has a dood rescue a lady, at least action games. And the fact that both games borrow from previously written material means that one rips off the other? Why not just say "games that use previously written material suck and should strive to be more original". God what an awful review.

    this game has a lot of flaws for instance the holy-unholy system is broken if you play completely holy or completely unholy the game punishes you in the final boss battle 'cause one stage requires your scythe and other the cross so if you don't upgrade either your scythe or cross the final battle turns annoying.

    It's a pretty good game. No God of War though. GOW is awesome!

    This is honestly a pretty good game (especially the price tag on it). He is right about the last 3 circles being awful however. Over all, the game is pretty good. Combat is pretty enjoyable, the scenery of hell is absolutely disturbing, bosses are cool, and there's an interesting story to boot. Come on, it's about a man going through hell (literally) to save his loved one from eternal suffering. That's true love. If you get the chance, try buying this game.

    Stupid review. This game is at least a 7.5. It's short, but quite enjoyable.

    well if u look at the player rating, it's pretty dam hi, thats y i like gamespot, they're hard on the analysis but the player rating is right next to it to determine the fun factor and contradiction, Gamespot hates Postal but i thought it was hilarious and fun.

    so after avoiding this title for so long (thanks to the bad reviews), i've decided i'll get it and try it myself... i'm pretty sure it won't be as bad as i've heard... it won't be as awesome as gow3 but it will be fun...

    Are you kidding me gamespot? 6.5? This game can get an 8.0 easily. Are you rating blindly now? just asking so i know if i need to read your scores anymore

    Dante's Inferno, the game, is based off of a poem of the same name from 14th century Italy..... (Which is a piece of a much larger poem, called the Divine Comedy.)

    Dante, in this game, has nothing to do with Devil May Cry whatsoever....

    And God of War was a Devil May Cry ripoff, so what you got Tom!?


    Bottom line is: the current "hack and slash" genre is really the modern day platformer. If this game had been made back in the 80s, it would have been akin to something like Castlevania or Mega Man. If you look at it like that, there's NO reason at all to give it a lower score because you think it's a mock-off of another franchise. It's like saying the whole of the platform genre is a Super Mario Bros. rip-off.
