"Awesome Game, with great interactions"
5 stars"

This is a great game. The ability to upgrade when you want and to be good or bad is great. There are heaps of different monsters to fight and the bosses are all different. The background is a bit unchanging. But there is alot of details in it.

Loving this game and the ability to play it for 30 mins at a time. Feels like the game will go forever but its not getting boring.

"The god of war feel"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is a good hack in slash with puzzles Just as good as the ‘god of war’ series ‘Dante's Inferno’ has the choice of helping the dammed or putting them to face their sins You jump from boss to boss in this game so its not recommended for those who give up when they lose All up its a great guys game has a few funny bits and awesome action scenes

"God of War clone with emphasis on horror..."
5 stars"

Dante's Inferno takes place in Hell and the chapters are based on the 9 deadly sins which make for quite a visceral and gory game. The story is based on rescuing your love Beatrice from the underworld and absolving her. Throughout the journey into the depths of Hell, you are guided by Virgil, a ghost-like guide.

Although sharing many similarities with God of War such as the exact same healing and mana fountains along with collecting “soul-like” particles to purchase new moves, Dante uses more varied magic and you can choose to either down a path of the Unholy or Holy.

There are many collectables, some would say more than any other platforming game. The collectables include; holy relics, unholy relics, shades, virgil commentaries and coins.

Enemies are varied in basic minions to fire minions, exploding minions, heretics wielding sceptres, demons, flying gargoyle beasts and even unbaptized babies. Expect a whole host of gruesome bosses that you can imagine from the underworld.

The game has a few puzzles thrown in as you would expect in any platformer but they are really easy and shouldn't pose any threat. There are cranks to move platforms to open up different alcoves, a lot of rope climbing and wall hanging. These will probably take up most of your time apart from the mini battles with your enemies.

The game is very, very short. I spent probably about 15hrs finished the story plus most of the collectables then did the Gates of Hell mode (God of War challenges practically) in another half hour. So, I would recommend renting unless you're really interested in this game and enjoy a great hack n' slash game.

8/10 (would be 9 if not for the very short length) but highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a great hack n' slash game and doesn't mind a bit of blood and gore.

"This Game Seems Similar to Demon Souls"
5 stars"

I did not purchase Demon Souls for this reason, because it sounds very similar to Dante's Inferno. I first played this game on PSP, and have heard that it has two different endings on the PS3 version, but I cannot be bothered buying it again when I have already played it. All in all it was a really good game and would recommend it to anyone. (:

"Buy this, and go to hell..."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is in the mode of God of War, very similar controls and single minded quest. To be honest, I was more interested in the look of the game than the slaughter – and there's plenty of both! The earlier sections are more interesting and detailed, later circles feel like you skip through them fairly quickly. All in all though, excellent value at the price!

"Action packed slaughter"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Not the usual role playing game in into but am finding it more enjoyable the more I play. The killing and blood, mixed with the decimating corpses is very soothing after a hard days work

"Kratos goes to hell!!!" Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you loved the God of War series you will love Dante's Inferno. It was well worth the price
