Product Description
Dante's Inferno PS3
Amazon.com Product Description
Dante’s Inferno is an epic single player, third-person action adventure game inspired by "Inferno", part one of Dante Alighieri’s classic Italian poem, "The Divine Comedy." Featuring nonstop action rendered at 60 frames-per-second, signature and upgradable weapons, attack combos and mana-fueled spells and the choice of punishing or absolving the souls of defeated enemies, it is a classic Medieval tale of the eternal conflict with sin and the resulting horrors of hell, adapted for a new generation and a new medium. Story
The Italian mercenary Dante returns home from the bloodletting that was the Third Crusade to two pieces of soul-crushing news. The first is that although he was assured that he was absolved of mortal sins committed in the form of wartime atrocities in the name of the churches interests in the Holy Land, that is not actually the case and his immortal soul is in grave peril. The second and more terrible is that his beloved Beatrice has been murdered, and her soul pulled down into hell by a dark force. Vowing not to accept the damnation of either souls, he gives chase, vows to get Beatrice back and descends into the infamous nine circles of hell. For weapons, he wields Death's soul-reaping scythe, and commands holy powers of the cross, given to him by Beatrice. 
Go to hell with Dante's Inferno.
View larger. | Scythe Combat
To vanquish the foes you encounter on your journey through the hell of Dante's Inferno, you must learn to wield Death's Scythe with precision and deadly force. Mix light attacks with heavy attacks to create combos, then incorporate jumps and grabs to add another layer to your combat. With dodging and Holy Cross moves thrown into the mix, you can truly become a force to be reckoned with. Without using all of your combative skills and techniques, there is no hope of ever reaching Beatrice. Holy Powers
During your journey, you may collect magic abilities for use against the legions of hell. When you perform the Righteous Path power you make a dash attack and leave a trail of icy shards in your wake. With Martyrdom you sacrifice health and mana to deal a heavy amount of damage to surrounding enemies. Divine Armor regenerates your health and protects you from damage. Add these and other powers to your arsenal to vanquish all who stand in your way and when you need to replenish your mana-fueled abilities, visit the Holy Fountains scattered throughout the gameplay area. Creature Taming
As powerful as weapons and magic are, sometimes surviving the perils of hell requires brute force. With the power of Death's Scythe, you are able to mount the beasts of hell and use them against your enemies. All of this, however, requires ridding the beast of its current rider first. If successful, you will become the beast’s new master. Now use its awesome power to pulverize enemies and complete tasks that require a beast's strength. Key Game Features - Epic story adapted from the first book of the Medieval Italian classic The Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri.
- Nonstop action as you fight through Dante's allegorical nine circles of hell.
- Wield the power of Death's soul-reaping scythe.
- Beautiful fast-paced action and intense combat rendered at 60 frames-per-second.
- Choice-based finishes with enemies that allow players to punish the damned, or absolve them as they are defeated.
- Over 60 weapons, magic and combo upgrades and modifications.
- Huge destructive, ridable mounts that can be taken from defeated enemies.

 Crappy Packaging March 9, 2010
K. McClellan (WA, USA)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Okay, I haven't played it yet (bought four games at the same time), but I wanted to warn people about the packaging the "divine edition" comes in. In case anyone is like me and cares about keeping their game cases in perfect condition.
This game comes in a pretty metallic cover. The outer box wasn't shrink-wrapped, which I thought was really odd. Instead it has two VERY LARGE stickers on the top and bottom. They can't be removed without ruining the outer cover.
Anyway, I doubt anyone cares as much as I do, but just in case. I was really disappointed with that.
Fun quick play, March 9, 2010
DHO (NOLA, United States)
This is a very fun first person fighter. Personally, I like these action games over first person shooter. The playability did not disappoint and as a fan of Dante's Inferno, I found the literary reference pretty cool.
The battles are very fun, and as you level up the ability to do combos just gets better. The game's environment has a very dark feel to it, but the road is linear and the challenges repetitive.
Pros: Good story, fast passed, enough cut-scenes to create a captivating story but they are also brief, there is the promise of online content and downloadable levels,
Cons: Very fast play, very linear, the good vs evil path is pretty much the same. My biggest complaint is you cannot control the camera angle, I found this an annoyance through the entire game.
I highly recommend if you are a fan of 3rd person adventure/fighting games. If not then you will likely be disappointed.
Games of a similar genre I would recommend over Dante's Inferno: Devil May Cry 4, Bayonetta
GOD OF WAR LITE March 8, 2010
Greg Sword (Atlanta, GA)
Honestly folks, if you own a PS3, there is absolutely NO reason to get this game. It is 110% `God Of War LITE'. Almost shamelessly so in the way that it cribs the attack combos, magic, methods to refill health and magic, creature control, etc. from the GOD OF WAR series, which is infinitely better in every way. And before you jump all over me for saying so, yes, I know many other games mimic other successful ones, but this is just that blatant it needs to be noted. If on the other hand, you own an Xbox or other platform this is offered on and want to get a rough idea of what the GOD OF WAR hype is all about, then this is the game for you. Or, if you just enjoy GOW-type games (as I do), it may be worth checking out. It looks great and the concept is a good one, but as MANY other reviews I've read have stated, after the first few levels, the game gets repetitive, unimaginative and a little mundane. Is this fun to play? Sure. For a while. It's admittedly a guilty pleasure roaming through hell and destroying devils and demons in vicious ways, but it gets old after the first few levels, as the characters / demons are repeated often which doesn't always make sense for the particular circle of Hell you find yourself in. I think the best thing the game has going for it is the concept and design. Other than that......??? Thanks but I'll stick with GOD OF WAR. This is definitely more of a 'rent' than a 'buy'.
 It's a big offence to the god and religion March 8, 2010

First, I thought this game will be fun and epic, but when I got deepened into it I noticed that this game is a big offence to the god and religion ever made.
I know most of people are disagree this, but hey it's my opinion .. right ?
Also, there is some other reasons make me dislike this game, for example :
1- The graphic is bad, and there is a lot of glitches in the game.
2- The gameplay is a COPY-PASTE of God of War which is a lot better than this horrible game.
I hope I didn't scratch other fanboys feelings.
