Dante's Inferno for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

This game is as beautiful as it is raw. The story follows Dante, alongside Virgil as a guide of sorts, through Heck. What you experience is an unbelievable adventure through the most wicked place imaginable.

First, I will state the obvious. It looks and plays very similar to God of War. This isn't a flaw. There are so very few games which feel as epic as the GoW series, and Dante's Inferno delivers a similar warmth (pun definitely intended).

Second, the gameplay is smooth and reliable. Movements flow together so that you will not be angered by unwanted motion. Although there will be times that you wish you could rotate the view, the game is supposed to be played with this restriction. The lack of camera movement makes you commit to unseen paths in your search of various treasures and items.

Third, the characters are well-done. From Dante's dialogue to the many heck-bound souls, you will feel the pain and anguish of countless characters throughout the game.

This game is not novel in a strict sense, but it is a very good addition to any gamer's library. The story resembles the book in places, but even the creators will admit that they took many liberties in molding this game (following the book to the T would make a very boring game). The enemies are vicious, the bosses are imposing, and Dante handles it all with a giant scythe and a little motivated revenge.

Play this game. You are depriving yourself a fantastic experience if you don't.

A strong 9/10.
