  • not as good as Castlevania or god of War which were both excellent games, but it's definitely not bad at all

  • everybodys so quick to compare stuff like this and castlevania to gow when theyre actually better than gow so wats the point

  • Hi guys, if you downloaded Dante's Inferno from the ps store can you pass me it? I can give you ( cod5,6,7 maps, NFS hot pursuit, midnight club los angeles, etc..) like an exchange if you're interested send me a PM please

  • figures he would compare it to gow -_-

  • listen this is an opportunity to people that have an xbox and want to play god but can't

  • wow that is a REALLY thick British accent

    not that I have anything against you guys(or any other race for that matter)

    and just if you think im just a know-at-all ignorant american

    i have the pure blood of EGYPT!

  • nice review

  • God of War like game

  • @youneveri it may be like god of war but its completely different in it own way!

  • I'd like to see something closer to the source material, a game which you follow Virgil around, philosophise, converse with condemned souls. Now that wouldn't that be much more fun than all that monster slaying?

  • @Gr1ff9 yes, yes it wouldn't be more fun

  • To me the only thing similar tome is that kratos and Dante both went to hell and thats it .Besides that the graphics are superior the storyline is real because it actually happened . And the they actually made a anime on it If you haven't scene please watch it Its amazing

  • @fabo103528

    you know Dante Alighieri wrote a poem, don't you? so it didn't actually happen, i mean, he didn't go to hell to slay demons and stuff...

  • @BrianWilson720 I'm talking abut the "GAME " not real life I knew that .

  • Other people on posts and indeed this vid say that DI is just copying or ripping off GoW because of similar combat systems and hack and slash style with some off the fights.........but DMC was out about five years or so before GoW, it had three games out before the first GoW game. Yeeeer so by that logic and your argument GoW is just a rip off in itself HOWEVER just because it used a similar combat system, boss fights and gameplay does not make it a rip off many games do, they can still be great

  • really good review little bit advertising i think but please

    let someone else write your jokes :,(

  • what is that a zit on cerburus

  • I think is game is OK, If you play God of War is easy to jump in and play the game, because the both game are familiar, so is cool. They are Greek Mythology, Christianity, they should make Chinese Mythology,they are alot of god and monster too.

  • AHHHH!! they patched up the F5 button to skip ads.

  • @thtchercar93 haha true that

  • I Love both but God of war franchise has been around for soo long (March 22, 2005) so they have more experiance i think. Dante's Inferno is good too lol

  • No people you wont believe how much this game is similiar to GoW.No i mean really.Grappling,controls,dodg­ing,reflection,quick mini games,mounting...This game isnt bad at all.I reccomend it if you dont have ps3(gow 3).

  • I Think This Game Is Better Than God Of War 3

    Ive Played Threw Them Both And 2 Me GOW3 Has Better Boss Fights And Graphics But Dnates Inferno Is Better At Everything

    The Gamplay Is Soo Fluid

    And Hell Pounds Mount Olympus

  • after i played this game and gow3 i decided that gow3 much better

  • graphics arnt taht good but game is decent over all

  • Great review!

  • Fucking idea of this game, gameplay and ECSPECIALLY CUTSCENES = I'M FUCKIN JIZZING MYSELF!

  • the game is fun, has good graphics, but is kinda short and once you beat it, there is nothing else u can do...

  • This game is god of war for christians

  • @Anonymous23412 It is...

  • @Deatharakka

    yes... it is

  • I absolutely love this game! It took me 2 days to beat it the first time on zealot, and it was one of the greatest video game experiences of my life. It will definitely not be the last time I play it, especially since there's so much to do in this game. Between the story mode, gates of hell arena, and multiplayer that's coming soon, this game will keep me occupied for awhile

  • @deadhead324 What multiplayer, hell arena? you mean they are releasing a new DI? or??

  • @gii0 gates of hell arena is a mode you unlock after you beat the the game. Its not online, its kind of like a survival mode. I believe the Trials of St. Lucia will be online, but I could be wrong

  • I loved the original book, and was shocked at how good an adaptation it was.

  • suppose to be a summarized review of the game; the ups and downs. This was too much of a walkthrough.

  • this game is awesome, ive had it for a few days and i have almost finished it, im upto the city of dis i think. and so far i love it. but he only thing that is shit is that satan(lucifer) is a dude made of black smoke.

  • @GatensA7X rest of comment:not a hard as fuck devil with a big fat veiny fork,but he is a smoke man :/ what the fuck!!! im christian but even so the should ov made a devil that rips peoples balls of or some shit, not a smoek man that shags danties wife :/ i just hope the end is awesome and "smoky" turns into a big fuck off devil of something :)

  • is it good on PSP?

  • definately the best review of the game ,although i would probabily rather see certain things once id got the game .but thanks 2 u i did luckily i totally ignored the other reviews this game is bad ass, but for me had little replay value tho and as mentioned 90% unoriginal

  • Pro tip for future reviews: GET TO THE POINT!!!!

  • this is the best review i've seen for this game, i would give it the same score

  • should i buy this considiring i only have a 360

  • Well many of the similarities you mentioned between Dante's and GOW is typical for all hack 'n' slash. I've played GOW and Dante's and sure the gameplay is similar but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a ripoff. Many Hack 'n' slash are similar in this way,

  • This is one of the few games I have ever seen that lets you use somethong other then some kind of sword as your main weapon. SCYTHES ALL THE WAY!

  • @vamp567 you are limited to only a few games aren't ya :P

  • This game is amazing it gets played a lot at the weekends with my friends they are really good at it. I actually got it utterly free for my ps3 here - 115 games . c o m they have thousands and the best thing is they are all free also I must say 2:11 2 2:41 was top notch

  • getting bad company 2 monday so srry dante.

  • holy hell. the graphics in the cutscenes look gorgeous.

  • they truly are, sad thing there is only four of them -,-

  • looks pretty good.... just got bioshock2 tho so no more videogames for a little while

  • Well duhhh theres gonna be a sequel :0

    p. the poem has more than just dantes inferno to it.

  • epic poem actually

  • really like come on did u c the trailer with the song "aint no sunshine when shes gone" how can u not like this game ur in hell. i still think God of war is a better game but kratos has never been 2 hell and bak

  • actually kratos has been to hell n back twice. kratos died twice in GOW 1 and GOW 2 the first tiem he how impaled by ares with a pointy pilar and the seccond time kratos died was right after zeus stabbed him with the sword. the only diference is that kratos was way too strong to be held down in hell or "the underworld" but i must say this i've already beated dantes inferno its a good game i like it and to spoil the end the will be another dante game. XD..

  • @4q57y

    He dies in God of War: Chains of Olympus too, so make that 3 :P

  • WTF is everyones problem here? ya its a book and ya it is like god of war the desiner made this game too and no its not better seriously this is a cool game

  • That game is awesome!

  • Sorry for the doble post but I like this game better than god of war. This game has a much more vibrant story, but just had poor execution

  • hey fuck you.

    WE LOVE YOU BEST BUY

  • FUCK YOU BEST BUY!

  • @VillageTrike Amen!

  • @VillageTrike y my bro is a manager at one and we get games like this brand new for like $4

  • I'm going to hell

  • are you fucking joking me? that is a clone of god of war.

  • its based off a fucking book

  • and your point?

  • so dont fucking get it damn

    u dont have 2 tell us that u cant read....

  • no a poem

  • @ShadowT23 ok it is a poem but a like really really really really really really really long poem

  • no, epic poem. there is a genre called epic poem, dante's poem is an 'epic poem' just like homer's odyssey. length does have a big part to do with it but there are more criteria involved. when people say epic poem, 'epic' is not really being used as a traditional adjective like if you were to say 'that was an epic scene!'

  • IDK if I should buy this game, it does seem like it just takes God of war are replaced the levels and kratos with hell and dante.

  • don't but it! its shit on a disc!

  • Fuck everything negative said about this game.. I LOVE IT MAN :'(.. Sticks pretty well to The Divine Comedy, character wise, but Dante was not such a bad ass in the book LOL, they alter the story like a MOFO, but they had too, to make it Violently Appleasing. And that Wall Of The Damned gets kind of dull after a while.. OverAll the Game is "Good As Hell", and based on ("Kanye West": One Of The Best Books Of All Time")

  • 360 fanboy...

    grow up.

  • Comment removed

  • but u just did, 360 fanboy

  • why do people still call this game a rip-off -.- the lead designer worked on the GoW series. You can't rip off of your own work.

    fanboys = fail

  • @DigitalEvil1110 That wasn't his work. It was a team effort from Santa Monica studios. That don't make him entitled to anything. Its like he got the blueprints and run whit them. That's a rip-off in every single way.

    The only reason this game might get some recognition from gamers is for that exact same reason. That it plays and feel just like GoW. That's the only reason I'm getting it really.

  • In a way, it kind of reminds me of Darksiders, with the souls as money, when enimies are weak u can do speacial moves, just more demons :P

    But i am probably wrong and sombody will cuss me out xD

  • god of war god of war god of war OMG shut up with saying its god of war! it could be ninja gaiden devil may cry or even any hack and slash game

  • not enough mini fights

  • itz a gd game but really short like 7 hour play through

  • the soul part sounds like a ripoff of darksiders upgrade system

  • How could it be? did they make hell? Youd fuckin expect souls dumbass. Dantes inferno aint a ripoff of shit this game is unique as fuck prolly the most gruesome game around.

  • @Ghostanti1 he didnt say the game was bad, just the money thing was like Darksiders, jeez calm down dude.

  • go play silent hill. that's true horror right there.

  • just becuase alot of people say this is a GOW3 rip off doesnt mean this game sucks. skip what the revies say, i didnt liike this game but my bought it anyways. so i had to try it out. i did and i enjoyed it, just try it and trust me you'll like it.

  • Regardless of Reviews this is a truly great game, aside from the bugginess and the laziness at the end of the game. The game has a brilliant art style and view of hell, and gameplay that mirrors God of war.

    I Suggest giving it a shot instead of ruling it out because of reviewers opinions.

  • god the that review was bullocks...it wasn't even much of a review until like the last minute; it was more like a walkthrough with commentary of certain parts of the game. also, he barely even explained why he liked the game and didn't address the fact that it is literally GoW but reskinned with maybe 3 little tweaked differences here and there.

  • Mmm. Not sure you watched it. We spent 2 minutes pointing out 10 ways in which its similar to GoW.

  • yeah, you said it was similar, but you didn't address the fact that it is virtually the exact same game. just because its fun due to this fact, doesn't make it a good game; it just makes it a copycat, unoriginal piece of bullcrap. this is literally just a lame reskinning of the far superior GoW. and i still stand by you wasting time not critiquing the game and just giving little walkthroughs on random parts of it.

  • Or just because games are similar does not mean that a game is automatically good or bad. I can think of a few games heavenly blade, force unleashed, Brigattia(sp) that use the similar set up. Also as much as it may surprise people, but not everyone likes the God Of War series.

    Consider the many similar things between the modern FPS out there.

  • yeah, well a lot of modern FPS's suck. also, heavenly blade and force unleashed also suck. never heard of brigattia. anyways, point is, you can be similar to an extent to other games, but you should always add a bunch of new things that make that particular game unique. Dante's Inferno is pretty much the same as GoW with regards to combat, but with less stuff and clunkier controls. it adds NOTHING new whatsoever. plus, the level design is crap in the whole 2nd half.

  • Not saying that it is not, but saying that it is going to suck because of that it over the top. As far as games people use other games ideas all the time, more so when the makers of those games come over and work on yours.

    I do not understand why ether game would not be fun to play. Also it could be said that unlike God of War 3 the people doing Inferno can met the delivery date. Any word on what GOW 3 is coming out if ever?

  • 24days

  • it isn't over the top. this game just took a few ideas from GoW, and did a shitty emulation of them, but added virtually NOTHING unique to them. that being said, sure its fun at first, but that doesn't change the fact that its a blatant rip off with no unique merit to it. plus, the fun part only lasts for about a third of the game, and then the game becomes a repetitive, badly designed borefest.

  • According to who? I get that they look a like but that alone is not that deciding factor. I take it you have played it.

    Also one thing to consider is that GOW is a Playstation exclusive. So while that is great for people that have one, not many people are going to sink the money for a PS3 and the game in today's economy. So I am not really worried about if this game looks like GOW.

  • @PlayrBitz Yes you have pointed out things that make it similar to GoW. But most people who see a hack and slash game call it a GoW rip-off, just because GoW made that kind of combat system big (I may be wrong or right). But that's all people think about. "It's a rip-off of GoW because it uses the same combat system" Ive seen this on dozens of videos, and then pages of continuing to rant about the same thing. Also, people saying 'Darksiders' and 'Bayonnetta' being rip-offs of GoW cause of this.

  • @aliG2500 obviously u havent played the game it may be similar but it has completely different story line. this game is sick

  • @aliG2500 obviously u havent played the game it may be similar but it has a completely different story line. this game is sick

  • @urboii45 don't need to. it sucks dick. end of story. goodbye!

  • God of War is not that good the gameplay is good but the story and character is just retarted this is like a better version of God of War

  • Also every beat em up is the same god knows why everyone thinks this is a god of war knock off it could be a devil may cry knock off but no one complains about that

  • i played the game and i give it a 9/10

  • wow....i heard it was horse shit

  • This is the first reviewer that I've seen who liked dante's inferno

  • It's because the so-called professionals cannot see quality beyond advertisement campaigns.

  • hehe:D

  • its just god of war in a different setting

  • @allaboutvideogames

    and that is absolutely not a bad thing =D

  • a 6.5 is really harsh, maybe a 8 or 9 but you can see that there was a ridiculos rush to try and beat god of war 3 there are some reall poor executions especially with jus 1 weapon or 2. It is to clean were it should be messy especially in violence and anger why is so clean there janitoral bill must be super high i hope there are downloadable weapons cause the 1 scythe is realllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllly lame but read about the history of the poem will make u think

  • It's not that bad. You get the scythe and the cross and you can upgrade them for different executions on them. It's fun and works out well to me. Guess it's what you are looking for though... more weapons would be fucking awesome though!

    LOL at the clean anger level. I think the graphics rock on this but God of War is gonna be NASTY GOOD

  • Rent the game, don't buy it, Then game is short.

  • it's says review in the title, yet it's like a freaking gameplay/spoiler/walkthrough kinda thing, wtf

  • i've actually never played god of war ,and to me this game actually looks really fun, is it out already?

  • @akaNadik yup I got it yesterday, if you have a ps3 get it for that cause you get more

  • well , i wish i had ps3 , i bought xbox360 when it came out ( still hasn't gave out on me). only thing about ps3 that was a turn off was first the price, and at the time ps3 really had no good games out, I don't regret getting xbox but i hate the fact i pay 60 dollars for a game and have to pay another 15-30 bucks for onlineplay and addons, im sure even the most devout xbox fan feels my pain too , shit money doesn't grow on trees you know

  • yeah the guy at gamestop was mad cause his Xbox Elite broke (after 2 years) so he doesn't have to pay anything to get it fixed... but he was at the end of Mass Effect 2 and needed 1/2 hr more to finish it, now he has to wait. I was like.. damn... well at least you get to play it cause it's not for PS3. BTW i'm liking Dante's Inferno now :)

  • nice man , I want to get it right now but I have to wait until tomorrow because of direct deposit . this is on my list and dead space , can't wait

  • This game was rated low by IGN probably because it;s not original at all, but it's not suppose to be. This game was made by the same designers for GoW and probably made not as a series or big project but as a arcade-like game.

    If you pretend GoW never existed, and play this game, it'll be AMAZING. The graphics are awesome and the gameplay, althought completely copied, is fun nevertheless

  • IGN are the idiots, don't ever listen to them.

    Beside they are the xbox 360 fanboy which makes them shouldn't reviewing video games at all.

  • Well I have noticed that they always prefer 360 over the PS3 almost all the time if not always, the head to head graphic comparisons are a perfect example, the graphics are mostly the same and the only different are the light and contrast setting that ign tweeks anyway to make the 360 superior.

  • @ShadeDevil7 This game had MANY people from GoW so dont PMS on how it isnt original, it was just the same people doing it!

  • This review is garbage, it spoils and it's bad done.

    In other words fuck you.

  • not for psp im pretty sure - i work at gamestop

  • psp? are you sure?

  • god of war and dantes inferno got nutin of devil may cry

  • I beg to differ but to each his own :)

  • love your english/scottish/irish accent :)

  • what a terrible 'review' ...

  • can some1 tell me why the fuck he stitched the cross onto his chest??

  • He was a templar. That was their symbol.

  • yeppers i learned what they wore from assassins creed who says games dont teach you anything.

  • lol nice one

  • Check the "greed" video

  • It was to repent for his sins in the past.

  • Watch the video "Dante's Inferno Developer's Diary: Greed" and you'll get your answer.

  • Wow...youtube really sucks now. I get an ad on almost every video I watch.

  • was he sewing somethhing to himself in the beggining?

  • no he was knitting finger puppets, which he finds very exhilarating as you could hear his screams of childish glee :3 (I love YOU!)

  • YAY!! im no longer alone...

  • funny how they censored some part in this

  • @popcool617 It went on TV first, where there are much stricter rules about what uo can and can;t show.

  • 6.5 from Gamespot?!how the fuck did Ninja Blade get a 7.5?!I don't care ,I'll still get the game,it's awesome!!!

  • No point buying it yet, I would wait until its price drops a little first.

  • it wont lol

  • Of course it will, all game prices drop, Dante's Inferno has already dropped by £5 in some stores due to poor sales.

  • those raters get paid to rate the game. they dont even have to play it.

    fuck what they say. i am giving this an honest 10/10 for 100% opriginality that is delivered brilliantly with fluent action packed gameplay. BEST GAME OF 2010 ATM

  • Have you played God of War? Because if you haven't than you are wrong. If you have than your an idiot. But regardless it is still a great game. ( i am referring to your originally comment btw )

  • Hahahah Ninja Blade :'D Yeah funny how it got higher ratings than Dantés Inferno. Weird game that was.

  • gamespot is really getting on my fuckin nerves... a 6.5???

    White Knight Chronicles a 6?????

    Wow.

  • Cerberus dosent look much like a dog does it?

  • i hope it plays the same as god of war, cuz that series is UNREAL.

  • well i'll buy this for xbox360 sense i can't get god of war 3.

  • ps. the guy who worked on/created God of war 1&2 also did this one so he reserves the right to add another to the series of adventures :)

  • Games are always based on other games,movies,myths,books etc....yeh so this one steels from god of war but in the end its a game and im up for playing anything thats similar...isnt that what we want,good games?

  • Who the fuck cares if it's 'simlar' to god of war, Its a game, you ps3 fanboys!

  • "The control are perfect", of course the control is perfect, it's the god of war control scheme.

  • english accents r cool, way better than americans like ign and gamespot

  • @qipowie ive never played it. i guess ill take your word.

  • True, but trekking through Hell has got to take some ginormous balls.

  • no need to be a fanboy, i saw PS3 AND 360 FTW, because i own bouth =)

  • this review is more of an gameplay talk not an review :

    :) im just done with the game. and well, the first chapter is really an wow feeling, when it comes to bosses, enemys places, but ofter an while there arent that many more wow feeling left.

    anyway an wow start ride, that and with an good game.

  • @qipowie Nothing is more badass than Kratos ;). But it looks pretty cool

  • so basically its a less bad ass version of god of war. but it still looks cool. i might get it

  • Its a button mashing clunky of a game,yes i have played it,go out and get Bayonetta instead if you want a deep and fluid combat system.

  • awful review. It's full of sarcasm and 95% is a commentary of the game, which is not a review. the actual review during the last 30 seconds is over generalised and is nothing we couldn't have used our own initiative to judge from the nine minutes of gameplay footage. very poor.

  • good review :)

  • B4 this retard makes another review he should make sure he takes out the fucking spoilers.
