  • Well, i've never played God of War, so there you go.

  • This or Darksiders?Both games are on the same price tag on PSN store right now.

  • @LiangHuBBB this is more mature , darksiders is more soft and

  • I know i am going to get trolled but i think Dantes Inferno is almost at par with GoW 3

  • @AlexDIJE Kinda agree but i still think god of war was better.. What's better than both of them is Castlevania LoS and Darksiders though

  • this guy making a review is a fucking joke.. fucking GOW fanboy. This game is really good, it deserves a fair review.

  • @SexDrugsPistol69 He made valid points about why the game is bad. It really did try to copy God of War, but failed to do so miserably.

  • What a load of crap, I've played this game over and over and over. It's brilliant! Yes this is a review so he can have his opinion but its dissappointing to see someone be a GoW fan boy in it. He loves GoW, change the reviewer and give this game a fair chance.

  • To all the people who keep arguing the (God of War) comparison to this game... Obviously you have not played this game. This game copies God of War immensely. It's basically God of War in hell. But, the game is great. Yes, it rips off God of War, but it does not bother me any. I've beaten the game several times, and still wish to play it over. I highly recommend picking up a copy of this game.

  • I love how he compares it so much to GOW, I don't care that much for GOW, I mean its fun, but the grotesque overload of blood and unbelievable attacks really give me that feel: its unbelievable, and starts to become mundane when everything is born with a sack of 3 gallons of blood, kind of like some treasure games, yeah everything exploding is cool, but thats just it: EVERYTHING explodes, it becomes excessively repetitive as the games most common aspect of appeal.

  • why are you sayin 1 is better then the other i don't have a ps3 do you think i care i can get a better game on a different console

  • Hello... some of the GOW crew actually WORKED on this game. Of course their similar. And while im at it, quit comparing every game to it... god u sound ign!!!

  • So by your justification every fps should be compared to COD, every sim racing game to gran turismo, every fighting game to street fighter. It's called a genre. Look it up moron.

  • 4:29 Something that God of War ghost of sparta stole from dates inferno

  • I'm so tired of the comparison to God of War. GoW wasn't original either. It was very similar to Devil May Cry. Guess what. They're all action games. As for the levels supposedly becoming bland... They're supposed to become darker and more claustrophobic. It's because the deepest part of hell is essentially black nothing. And Dante is invading Hell, so why would he not send minions after them? That's why enemies reoccur from different levels. I enjoyed this much more than the first GoW.

  • @TheSpurian GoW was way more original than this. When i play dantes inferno, i mistakenly try to do GoW moves. This is one of the most blatant rip offs of any game i have seen. although i do really like the relic system in this game

  • @Brutananadlewski thats fair enough mate but what about people who own a xbox. They cant play god of war even though it looks really good if i dont say so myself. I would buy a cheap ps3 just 2 play god of war 3. But anyway Dantes inferno isnt a rip off id say more like a tribute cause this game is very good. By the way am not trying 2 start a youtube comment argument. haha. Am just saying thats all. Ok buddy. Cheers 4 taking the time 2 listen 2 my opinion anyway.

  • still gonna get it

  • @superhuman295 This is really sad on your part. Seriously, you keep calling out people on things, and then dealing with them so horribly that it makes you look very bad. I normally would have some sympathy and just let you off easy, but for some reason you just really kind of pushed that button, you know. You were just that much of a dumbass that I could not stand to see a person do something so pathetic. Reply back to me, redeem yourself, I already have no respect for you whatsoever.

  • @superhuman295 uhhhh... what? you are the most contradicting person, oh my god, this will be my last post to you after I get this off my dome. OH MY GOD.... There is so much wrong in your posts I am just amused. Anyway, first you completely changed your original point about my post, because if you read my first post, there was no profanity/unnecessary word usage whatsoever. I made my valid point, and I made it clear.. done.

    .... Theres more, I just can't fit it into one post.... read on.

  • the mans right. the game just got kinda repetitive and uninteresting after a while. and dumbasses saying they want a sequel forgot this is based off a POEM!!!

  • @superhuman295 I see that you already deleted your comment to me because your too pussy shit. Anyway, when does "put into his place" and "bring him back down to earth" ever imply I am going to beat him up haha. You sound so fucking dumb bro. Your argument is that we are talking shit but not going to do anything? This is a fucking video game review. We don't want to go kick his ass, we were replying on his arguments. You seriously are so fucking dumb it is unexplainable. I really feel bad.

  • @FOoMan777 dont, but it pisses me off that instead of saying: I disagree because........" its: "fuck this guy this shit guy needs to review games right because he stupid and shit"!! Just state ur opinion and argue without being an asshole. its just not cool to me. So why dont u just put urself in ur place and remember, hes not giving a fuck about what u say

  • @superhuman295 stop sucking the reviewers dick and just accept peoples opinions..

  • @shimmeringbloodfeast wat opinions? u mean critisms of the reviewer or opinions of the game? he said it was GOOD and ur panning him. ur not giving an opinion ur being an asshole and im not suckin his dick. why dont u go suck satans?

  • @superhuman295 go suck satans? im not religious, sorry loser.

  • @shimmeringbloodfeast oh i forgive u. just remember ur gonna be somebody's bitch and it aint no one on earth

  • @superhuman295 someones bitch? what the fuck kinda fantasy's are you trying to pull me into man? you need some fucking help, wow.

  • @shimmeringbloodfeast watever ur brain's telling u

  • Comment removed

  • alot of assholes commenting on this channel, Jesus and id like to see what you people r tough enough to do to this guy just because he reviewing a little game. u talk so much shit but your NOT DOING shit. maakes u more of a pussy than this bold reviewer.

  • *applaudes* wow. way to go gamespot. youre officially as ignorant as IGN.

  • I love how often he mentions the prostitutes and girls.

  • am i the only one who would get this for the new game +?i friggin love new game +....

  • Just beat this. I agree its just like GoW as far as the whole hack and slash aspect. I appreciate that its based on the Divine Comedy. I like the level up system, as well as the choice of being Holy or Unholy. My only disappointment was after Violence, I became more set on just tying to finish the game rather than what's going to come up next. Got this for free, but would have totally bought it preowned and for around $20. Waiting on 2 now.

  • This guy needs to be put into his place. I completely agree with the top two comments. I hope he read those and it really took him back down to earth.

  • Comment removed

  • I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but the combat looks more fun than GOW's

  • hmmm, i agree with your review, but i still support the game because i want a sequel DANTE'S PURGATORIO/Purgatory :D

  • dantes inferno was fun, i want a sequel

  • You know, I haven't heard a reviewer from any of these big gaming channels (IGN, Gamespot, etc.) that I liked. I guess ALL critics suck. Either they bash a really awesome game that gamers seem to love (Splatterhouse), or they compare them to other stellar games and declare they are not living up to the standards. On the flip side, they LOOOVE games that might only deserve a little praise (Call of Duty games). Want to know who the REAL critics are? Gamers. Listen to the people that actually play.

  • wth , shit review if you ask me, hes all GOW GOW GOW GOW GOW.

  • This guy is a fucking retard. Let me do a good review in this comment! I've played the game. The story, although it has it's twists and turns, is very good. the controls aren't hard to master and it's fun gameplay! The only problem is if you finish it, it's done, there is nothing left to do.

  • 2:46 is he taking a freaking child out of her p.... OMG

  • got this game just to give it a try the other day, n I can see his point about the first third of it being the best, but the constant GoW comparisons? Come on man. similarity doesn't doom a game. Take FPS's for example.Killzone, halo, COD, BF, MoH, whatever.do you not look down the sight of some firearm, magically reach down below the screen and grab a new mag when empty, aim down the sight, and fire upon wave after wave of enemies? I mean a lot of these games are so similar and no one complains

  • i love this game and the ending fucking bad ass

  • this review is spot on 100%

  • this was one of the most original games of the year, guy can go suck cunt

  • I jus got through playin god of war...this couldnt b more of a failed rip off if it tried lmao glad i didnt waste my money

  • @17onlyme Dantes inferno is shit like god of war... just cuz its a 3D swordfighting game, doesn't mean it's trying to rip GOW... and I played both... I love the feeling of dante's inferno more.

  • Bad Review.

  • Damm youtube, it took me two hours to write this awsome description to describe this game, and below me is only 1/4 of it :( took up all my high too :( :( fml

  • He is right, the combat is repetative after a while, but what i favored was buying new attacks or magic with the money (souls) You get from killing them demon folks. GOW influence too but you HAVE to actually level up, kinda like pokemon in a way, to obtain these abilities. Theres two ways to level up, first by choosing to absolve (cross blast to heaven) or punish (re-kill) enemies after you see R1 or RB floating above their horned heads. Second, you encounter "damned souls" from actual histo

  • I got 4 hours into this and I stopped caring. I wasn't having fun and I didn't care enough to help Dante keep his white girl away from the Black Wang of Lucifer. :|

  • @Deadsticle His dick isn't black it's magma.

  • I just bougt this game and I haven't play it yet I'm enxious to play it but if it is not good I will spit the guy who sold me the game :)

  • I will never understand why people say a game is bad because its similer to another game. Even GOW takes inspiration from other game, shall we insult it for only that reason? No, those inspirations were a good thing, but here when this game is like GOW it makes the game a rip off. He says they should make the game more like GOW in the good ways, but then people rage about it not being original and give it a bad review for that. Dante's Inferno is not a perfect game but it deserves more credit.

  • If you haven't played this game or God of War you will not understand why this guy and so many other reviews are making the comparisons. Ive played this game and God of War and its true that this game is a complete rip off. Whether your a die hard xbox 360 fanboy or GOW hater, it doesn't change the fact that this game is totally unoriginal thanks to what GOW already accomplished.

  • the basic version of what he is saying: the game is fun...but gets repetitive

  • ive never played this game, but is it true how he says the game gets repetitive and feels the same?

  • @mohammadzafar I personally think that the reviewer got most of it right, the begining of the game is pretty awesome but as the game goes on it just gets bland and boring because you're doing the same thing again and again, fighting the same enemies again and again ect.

  • worst review every, they don't even talk about the soul system and skill lvling etc just talk aboute god of war-.-

  • if u watch dantes inferno the anime movie youll mostly know what to do in game already . its awsome :D

  • dear gamespot

    i dont appreciate you acting like you know how to review a game i just spent six minutes listening to you say its bad cause its god of war and how it dosent live up to it but you dont even give good reasons. you guys are the joke ripoff of ign

  • not that accurate. heresy and violence were fun and well put together in my opinion. fraud and treachery were the only non fun ones, but they still were accurate and cool. i think one of the only flaws were the puzzles that were harder than they shouldve been because of the camera and the lack of bosses for every circle as you progress.

  • I loved this game, despite the repetitiveness and the glitches that can annoy you in it. The reviewer makes some good points, while I like this ones design better than GOW, the controls and flow is better at the latter. The music and graphics are baffling, but the reviewer is right that after you progress in the game, it slowly goes stale. While I love this game, it has its flaws that could have been avoided.

  • I have to say the same thing about this game....And the "top comment", Bayonetta has tighter controls and you can switch between combos faster. In all honesty, I started the game a few days ago, and my jaw dropped. Like...literally, it was THAT good. But now as I worked my way up to Anger, the game just falls flat...Repetitive enemies, especially the avoiding prostitutes, ganging up which results in many cheap deaths. Only way to get away from the deaths is by going full holy.

  • The problem is that God of War is supreme, so comparing it to it from the start gave this game and awful start position. You should make a separate review one that says "For those who haven't played GoW" and the other the standard version.

  • WORST. REVIEW. EVER!

  • why does it matter if the combat in dantes inferno mimicks gow? Almost all FPS games are exatcly alike, this just allows people with a 360 to enjoy that hack and slash gameplay from GOW but with a new setting, new story, for a new system

  • Worst review ever. This guy deserves the sack. I've never played this game but to constantly compare the game to GOW is moronic. Games are allowed to be made in the same genre. I mean for god's sake, GOW wasn't even the first of his kind.

  • @mrders82 I'd agree with you except DI isn't simply another hack and slash. It is a blatant rip off of GOW and as such the comparison is fully warranted.

  • @mrders82 no dude u have not played so u dont know. This game is EXACTLY like god of war right down to the way the dude moves. It's literally a copy. Now that's not to say that this is a bad game, but....

  • @mrders82 Maybe you should actually play it then.

  • @mrders82 I get what your saying, games can look the same, but Ive played this game and Its exactly like GoW

  • @mrders82 although i agree with you about the constant comparisons to god of war he is right about how the gameplay gets progressivley worse by the time i got to the maleboge i just stopped playing because it was too repetitive

  • @mrders82 comparing games to another game is fine, it gives context and allows people to know what to expect without playing the game. Ive never played dantes inferno but i have played GOW, by comparing dantes inferno to GOW then i get an idea of what to expect before i spend my MONEY on it, which is the point of a review. To guide your purchases. Youre an idiot.

  • that was exactly what i thought... its just like god of war !

  • And to the reviewer Gow is just like Devil May Cry.

  • @reaper1545 excepy devil may cry is wayyyy more badass

  • @Joana683192119574 Omg shut up nobody cares about your scamming website. Stop making random accounts.

  • Even if the game has received a negative review and the reviewer is a cock, I'm still going to purchase this game. Having read the Divine Comedy, or still going through it i would like to see how well this game depicts Dante's Inferno and the 9 circles of hell.

  • @HDzeen the book is more interesting in plot... but this is funny in gameplay... and if your read the book before you play the game.

    Well this isn't a spoiler if you have read the divine comedy, for the end of the game it looks like its going to be a game about the purgatory... and if that's go well i hope they do the haven also :D

  • @HDzeen very very loose interpretation

  • god of war 3 is a funny game but it has a weak story. This game has a more interesting story, a more interesting theme.

  • @parahthemad Yes. Cuz is just a ripoff the Divine Comedy.

  • As an English Lit teacher, I find it horribly sad that the reviewer made not one reference to how it relates to, oh, I don't know...the book.

  • @DiamondDJandSound maybe that's because he hasn't read the book?

  • @DiamondDJandSound Maybe because it is nothing like the book

  • What in the hell is that thing coming out of that grotesque prostitutes vag at 2:46? O_O...I don't even wanna know...

  • @tobiramasenju420 its a sexy dick girl and her raging beauftiful boner of jizz!!

  • dude it may look like god of war but the game is not a rip of of god of war it was made thanks to the pom Dante's inferno the divine comedy 1, hell. don't make it sound like it is a complete rip of. i have read that book and if you have the game is great

  • @animelord666 Theyre talking about gameplay not story wise. Gameplay is pretty similair. There is no denying it. Doesn't necesseraly mean its a bad game though

  • @dtanobo well you are right about that, still they make it sound as if it is a complete rip of.

  • @animelord666 really? cause I'm still going through the book and i really want to try this game out.

  • @HDzeen yes if you have read the book you have to play the game. that is if you like the book but that makes sens. enjoy

  • @animelord666 i love the book, its just the most EPIC story i have ever read, and possibly the best I've ever read :D .. And in that case, ill get it :D

  • He's bringing WAY too much logic into this. Gaming isn't about logic and making sense, it's about having fun O.o

  • @Trogdor8freebird yeah for the average Joe who is bad at games

  • @dakachronic lol right, xD you have no idea who you're talking to

  • What's annoying is this fag's review. You always got some prick that got something bad to say! I think this game is good! Even as a Christian.

  • @bukumodels so what you're saying is that game reviews should NOT explain that there is bad aspects in games?

    he clearly stated that it's a lot of good and imaginative parts.

    besides, since you're a christian, shouldn't you act a little nicer?

    a man is not homosexual just because he has other oppinions than you.

  • The game is not that bad. Yeah it's not GOW, but it's an above average title worth playing when you have some spare time for gaming.

  • Comment removed

  • You know... This review is so damn true! Like Ehh why do I wanna fight mess up titty tounge dick fat monsters! o_O

  • This game is too real..

  • awesome game, i enjoyed it on Zealot and Hellish difficulty. It has similar mechanics to God Of War, and its graphics are like God Of War 2. I like it a lot tho, it entered among my favourite games: God Of War, Devil May Cry, Darksiders.

  • DmC will be worst.

  • game was amazing anyone who likes action adventure games need it!

  • why is everything with quick time events and just basic story plots comparred to god of war. god of war is one game, dantes inferno is its own game, WTF

  • @Fernandov125 no this game IS god of war, just not as good lol.

    i've beaten both, and while i enjoyed this, gow is flat out just better. he has every right to compare them. the only difference is this is in hell. the only thing i enjoyed more about this game to be honest was the leveling up was MUCH better then how gow had you upgrade.

  • the power of RELIGION!!

  • Oh come on now Gamespot. It is always fun to burn people with monsters and cut them in half x)

  • @MidnightChampion and eat like the rancor from return of the jedi

  • I have to totally disagree with this. I played the game on the PSP which is the exact same game and i found it fun until the last third. That part the guy is correct with. That part is really boring :/ everything else I loved though :)

  • gow is not better

    its just about a batshit insane spartan whe eventually fucks up the entrie world

  • Dante Inferno Was Too Sick !!! One Of My Favs!!!!!!

  • Devil may cry is the only one i can think of

  • ''there are more better action games out there'' SUCH AS....?? (anyone please , i want an action 3rd person game) don't say god of war because i own a 360

  • ''there are more better action games out there'' SUCH AS.... (anyone please , i want an action 3rd person game) don't say god of war because i own a 360

  • Stop saying god of war!!! I've got both games and god of war FUCKING SUCKS (compared to this game) lol

  • Get it if you have an xbox becuse you will like playing gow but ofcourse gow still better

  • i was gana get this game but after hearing this guy ride gow dick fuck it

  • @hawks78852

    it's a good game the guy is just comparing it gow and not on it's own

  • i like both honestly. Each one is almost the same Dante's inferno is a good gameplay too. GoW had the best.

    Each one has a different story but each are veru cool and good. Dont let this review change your mind just get it, a purchase you wont regret really.

  • gamespot comparing every game to other game thats why gamespot sucks balls

  • @ForJust18 Not the only reason.

    Another reason is that they give good reviews to anyone who pays them for for example advertisement. A guy at Gamespot got fired for giving a game a negative review. The guys he worked for told him to make a better review because they had paid Gamespot. The guy refused, saying that he was just being honest, and that he was actually nice. So he got fired.

    Yes. That happened.

  • Good review. I agreed 100%

    It's a great game if you have been living under a rock for the past 10 years... Or never heard of God of War.... Or have an xbox....

  • it cant be that bad it has a movie made out of it wheres the god of war series eh

  • I liked it why does gamespot have a stick up their ass about everygame?

  • 1:55 you cant disagree with this, she was climbing a DICK!

  • they are similar, but heres the thing, the lead designer worked on both games. if this came out first, everyone would troll gow.

  • The design of Minos was great. Cerberus one was gruesome. I guess if Dante was sexy woman like Bayonetta Gamespot would gave them a 11/10...

    Fuck you Gamespot!

  • @Frosbiter I started this game like 8months ago but i still havent finished it even though i've tried forcing myself many times. I can't stand playing it more than ~15minutes at a time because its just the same shit i was enjoying the first ~2-3hours. I agree with gamestop.

    Fuck you

  • @VompoV Nobody here gives a shit about your opinion... Anyway nice try moron!

  • @Frosbiter you do

  • @VompoV Suck it and shut the hell up!

  • if you think about it though, god of war was better because of a higher budget, and there are so many evil bosses in greek mythology. the dante's inferno producers were limited to the amount of historic bosses. greek had gods, goddesses, titans and other stuff. they only had god, satan, angels and demons. not to fair to compare.

  • god damn, gamespot can go suck a fucking dick

  • gay ass review fuck you i hope you get raped in the dark.

  • @SmokeSantiago22 What a lovely thing to read when I come home from work. 

  • @velocifero86 lol thank you i try

  • i dont care if its like god of war, i loved god of war so i should love this

  • Ok so Battle Field kinda copied Call of Duty. But its cool battle Field has a good score.

    Saints row is Really similar to Grand Theft Auto games

    Dantes inferno is really identical to of war But noooo they give it a Gay score.

    Fuck this review i loved this game it never got boring never ever i still play it i spent 50 bucks and its worth every penny fuck this Review this game kicks ass.

    And yeah maby God of War might be better but this game really dosnt deseve a bad. Fuck you and Go to Hell.

  • @assviolater88 bahahahah battlefield copied cod battlefield had classes before cod battlefield had multiplayer before cod how did battlefield copy cod

  • @jake546213 well videogames copy each others and most get good scores except this one.

  • @assviolater88 but they copied so hardcore

  • @jake546213 yeah. but it was a good game

  • so when call of duty games are identical thats awsome. but if one other game emulates another, thats unforgivable. sort your life out gamespot. i loved this game. yes god of war was better but this was a great game regardless.

  • ign reviewed this game better 

  • WTF!!! this was a shit review, this seems more like he is comparing the two game than a review

  • Dante's Inferno, in my personal humble opinion, is at least equal, if not better than God of War, especially it got much, much, much better story than God of War.

  • sometimes I wnder if the reviewers would think the same way they do if they werent really reviewers... cause when I played this i wasnt like, "well I feel smaller and weaker in god of war because it has a bigger environment" I think GoW is way better but dantes inferno was great and to be honest I dont think I compared anything in it to GoW until I beat the game because I knw if I did it would ruin it for me

  • the developer was probably pushed to meet a deadline, that possibly explains how the game got worse as you went along and abandoned the great premise presented in the beginning. Blame the stupid corporate gaming industry that cares more about profits that games

  • @BKVisionFreePerFiew um...i didnt say anything about graphics.

  • BKVisionFreePerFiew um...i didnt say anything about graphics.

  • Comment removed

  • 5:55 - 6:27 Yeah . . . such a "bad game"

  • it doesn't have bad auto-targeting. there is no AUTO-targeting.

  • simmilar to god of war :)

  • @teensj3 yep its pretty much a knockoff. but its still an awesome game.

  • I am sick and tired of every review I've seen compareing this game with god of war so strictly. I do not own a ps 1 2 or 3 I own a 360 so I have never played god of war. I thought dantes inferno was freaking awesome and nothing on the 360 can touch it. A little comparison is fine but damn. No one thinks of people who can only afford one console.

  • ok i agree that every hack and slash game shouldnt b compared with god of war,but to b honest this game is a fucking rip off of gow n it miserably fails at it..everything frm music to gameplay to boss battles to combat,i mean everything is copied from gow,no originality..if u have played gow then u ll know wat i m talking abt

  • whats better this or bayonetta

  • @SuperDrunkMoose this, i thought bayonetta was fucking terrible but if you have a ps3 definately go with GoW, they just remastered the first two and put them on ps3 with updated graphics and trophies, plus theres god of war 3

  • @StaticAddict78 no i havent owned a playstation since the psone God i miss those consoles!

  • @SuperDrunkMoose yeah, I had a xbox 360, 3 of them actually, my first one red ringed so I bought a new one, my second red ringed but then I found out you could fix it, I got it fixed, it red ringed again, fixed it again and once again it red ringed so I bought a newer model, guess what? 4 months later the brand new one red ringed so I said fuck it and bought a ps3 and am so much happier that I spent the extra money, to me its so much better, plus the ps exlusives are so much better than 360

  • @StaticAddict78 Dude, your awesome! Finally someone that says the PS3 exclusives are better! And the PS3 is better made. Much better system. =D

  • @StaticAddict78 The exact opposite happened to me...So that being sad, I like my Xbox360 more. But I'm not gonna lie, Ps3 has really bad exclusives.

  • @shimigami30 how are ps3 exclusives bad? we have god of war which is getting old but is still amazing, little big planet which most people love no matter what age and its fun as hell, Killzone 2 was great, havent played 3 yet. Demon's Souls is amazing the sequal is coming to ps3 and 360. Ratchet and Clank is always good, Heavy Rain is great if you like something different.inFamous 1&2 are great, SOCOM is fucking terrible, and Uncharted is the best series I have ever played

  • @shimigami30 I'm not raging or nothing im just wondering why your saying the exclusives are bad 360 has Gears of War which was one of my favorites. Halo is ok Reach really was great, Forza 3 was great, thats the only exclusives I can think of I would say Mass ffect but the 2nd one is on 360 ps3 and PC. I liked 360 exclusives but ps3 exclusives are great some are just terrible im gonna get hate for this one but MGS4 is really bad, I hated it, Im not being an ass just trying to have a conversation

  • @StaticAddict78 I agree MGS4 was not my game
