    The level design follows a similar descent into banality. What starts as epic and explosive soon becomes repetitive. Too much of Dante's Inferno takes place in confined rooms that don't hint at the huge world you're in, which lowers much of the impact of clawing your way through the netherworld. The puzzles that crop up only serve to artificially slow your progress rather than give you a worthwhile change of pace from the violent combat. Read more

    • Combat is bloody good fun, Some of the creature designs are gloriously vile.
    • Final one-third of the game is lousy, Puzzles are either way too easy or just lame, Uneven difficulty too often relies on cheap deaths.

    There's very little to recommend Dante's Inferno. It's not Golden Axe: Beast Rider bad. But it's not good either. Both Darksiders and Bayonetta are pretty much better in every way, and Dante offers much less in replayability and overall fun than especially the latter. Despite ostensibly being drawn from one of history's most influential pieces of literature, ultimately almost everything about Dante's Inferno just ends up being dumbed down and pointless. Read more

    • You get to see boobs. Some pretty epic bosses. Struggling here to think of things.
    • Tedious and unvaried combat, quicktime event-a-palooza, fairly incomprehensible story, irrelevant and pointless RPG elements, frustration and repetition, thorough lack...

    After months of indifference and skepticism, Dante’s Inferno has finally arrived. The hack-and-slash action title developed by Visceral Games (of Dead Space fame) has been largely written off as a shameless facsimile of Sony’s own venerable God of War franchise, and indeed, it is not difficult to see why. But as Visceral Games proved with Dead Space , itself indebted to Capcom’s Resident Evil series, clever borrowing can often yield exciting results. Read more
