I just got my Dsi about 3 days ago and i LOVE it! It's 10 times better than the ds light but idk i think the 3ds is gonna bo very well. I really think i might sell my dsi once the 3ds comes out so i can get it. I think the new games are going to be awesome RESIDENT EVIL! yes! I also hope that OLD normal ds games can still be played on it. and screw psp nintendo is the KING of gameing.

While playing Dante's Inferno I kep thinking "this one project I would expect the GOW team to work on after they end GOW3". But why wait if you can play it now? As a GOW fan I recomend other fans to try the demo. It seems I'll go to hell in February! XD

luckily i have both consoles so i'll be able to play this now :D hopefully it won't be like god of war in terms of gore as theres gore and then theres god of war pointless gore. can't kratos let a guy die normally for one then cut his chest open, pull out the guts, twist his head off and then pull him in half down the middle by the legs?

Lead and gold also looked interesting. It looks very unique. The DSI XL I hated because it is another way of nintedo of selling the same thing 3 times. I'm also dissapointed that I have to wait until Christmas Eve to play the Dante's Inferno demo. That and I'll be more intrested to play Zelda and MW2 on Christmas Day.

Dante's Inferno looks better every time I read/watch about it.

@supadave841 I didn't mean hack-n-slash to say the games take no skill or the combat is as mindless as say the Dynasty Warriors games, that's just what I call those games. But if you crank up the difficulty in a Dynasty Warriors game you can easily get juggled to death if you make a single mistake, so even some of the mindless hack-n-slash's out there take timing and strategy. And people seem to be saying Dante's Inferno's gameplay looks like GoW's, not just the story. My point is why do that when similar playing games were around long before the original GoW?

After playing Dante's Inferno demo... 3 words... God of What? I can't believe how awesome Dante's Inferno is. The cut-scenes are great and I'm deeply intrigued by the story.

I still need to see more on Dante's Inferno. This is a game that HAS to be epicly done. Sure everything is all flashy in the previews, but we will see where they take the game.

Played Dantes Inferno. Seemed more like Spartan Total War than GoW to me. Its decent. Theres no really fun combos like there are in GoW. It doesnt have that feeling that you have an ability to string together endless combos. The holy cross however, the range weapon, is by far better than anything God of War has ever done. The way it hits people makes it feel powerful. I like it. Itl get 8.5's assuming theres no glitches in the camera or gameplay and the story is decent. It was extremely choppy in the demo and if that is a real recollection on the gameplay it is gunna bite big balls.

gamespot loves 360 you can notice on the show, the guy who is talking pissed me off when he said take that kratos, just wait and see god of war 3 is gonna a hundred times better than this game.

dante's inferno's combat was almost as good as GOW, i kinda disappointed when i played the demo yesterday, but the story and boss fights are the only reason i would buy the game.

ps3loverr 5 pts

dantes inferno sucked i played the demo two days ago trust me 360 owners and ps3

Dante's Inferno really looks great and I will play it because I like GOW but EA really did copy a lot of things from the GOW....I dont really mind just had to say it

Dante's Inferno looks awesome and idk why but lead and gold makes me remember a game but i cant remember it o.0

Man can people please stop comparing GoW3 to Dante's Infero and saying how much better GoW3 will be? Can you honestly say anything will be as good as the GoW franchise? probably not. Can you say that oh the gameplay is exactly like GoW? Ya, but when you perfect a formula you don't change, you apply it to other games. All of you people complaining about Dante's just take a step back and be glad that PS3 is getting YET ANOTHER game to add to video game collectors shelf's because it probably looks like it wont flop unless the game's duration is extremely short. So seriously stop the comparisons its making my eyes bleed.

I'll wait until WoW3 to be released, then decide between the twos, Dante looks impressive, but he reminds me about Kratos, you know......

@ shaggydellic the difference between ninja gaiden and god of war/dante's inferno is that it has a quality story. i like the combat of god of war its brilliant. if it feels like a hack n slash to you, crank the difficulty then you'll see how much timing, strategy and discipline you need to play those games.

shaggydellic 5 pts

What's being said about Dante's Inferno could easily be said about God of War itself. It's nothing but a Ninja Gaiden clone. And that's nothing but a Devil May Cry clone. And that's nothing but a clone of the previous 3D hack-n-slash.

supadave841 5 pts

dante's inferno was sickkkkkkk. cant wait to get that game.

headbound 5 pts

Why are people hating on Dante's Inferno? Personaly i liked the demo and i cant wait for the full game and yes so what if its somewhat like God of War, im still getting it and i dont give a rats behind what the haters say.

OMG Dante's Inferno looks so AMAZING !!!! "Dante kills death...take that Kratos" xD. We will see if it really is better than GOW2....

toddze 5 pts

just played the Dante's inferno demo. It felt like a crappy version of god of war. Everything had the feeling of god of war to it. The combat to the skills, If you love god of war and dont mind knock offs you most likely will like this game. Me personally ill just wait for the real deal come april with god of war III. I am also well aware that god of war didnt start this style of game, what it did do was make it better and set a standard for that style of game. Its seems dantes inferno just copied the standard and not tried to raise the bar. But I am sure GoWIII will raise the bar further and show how pathetic this knock off is, but we should come to expect this from EA who has no originality

obesebabydance 5 pts

gamespot is biased they give games that arent a mainsteam a simple 5.0 and an xboxlive only segment? what about pixeljunk shooter? guess playstation doesnt matter

Wow. I like the Dsi LL alot but what's the point if you can't see the screens of the regular Dsi. When will it come out? Not every dark action game is a GOW clone. Most of the qualities one could say are similar to GOW (collecting souls, path choices, timed button-pressing sequences) have become somewhat standard to the genre, and most were around long before GOW. I will admit though, the combat looks very similar, only in the scythe elongating to reach enemies. Particularly when he's using it to grapple from wall to wall, and in the sequence where he's jumped into the air, and is stretching it to swipe at enemies on the ground. But why complain about a game using elements proven good in other games?

anbu-black-ops 5 pts

that is really big. they werent kidding. if this was the psp, alot would complain. lol. im glad yaukza 3 is coming to the US. i hope they make one for psp. that would be nice. anyways dante's inferno is always a cool adition even if ppl say its a gow clone. i dont mind. we need alot of this kind of game. reminds me of the oldschool beat em up game on the sega and snes.

Whats the point of DSi LL unless you can't see the screens of the regular DSi because they are too small?

androflash 5 pts

A bigger DS huh? ... mmm.. wait.. what was the whole purpose of the DS *ahem* LITE *ahem* again? Anyways, Dante's Inferno looks great, hopefully they won't mess it up.
