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.

 Ripoff games are fun! July 30, 2010
Alex
This game is really, really reminiscent of God of War. Even down to the controls. It's violent, it's gross, it's got a surprising amount of nudity, and it's a damned good time. Really, if you can accept and forgive that they're ripping off God of War, then it's fun as hell (.....get it?).
The story is pointless and expected, with flashbacks in a weird cartoon style. But it has surprisingly little to do with Dante's Inferno (the book).
The music and voice acting are okay but not great, but the graphics were impressive (except for a while there, the love interest of the story looks like a... Final Fantasy villain with PS2 graphics). Easy mode is too easy, and Very Hard mode is WAY too hard, so most people should be able to find their own Goldilocks-style level of difficulty. But again, there's a lot of gratuitous nudity and violence, so it's not for everyone.
Most of the fun is the actual descent into hell, exploring new passages of the underworld. It was designed really well, lots of cool little touches in the background that you'll miss if you don't stop and look, but the gameplay gets pretty repetitive, so the game might not deserve more than one playthrough.
 Nudity every 10 seconds (Almost literally) July 27, 2010
Deborah Castleberry
I got this game at Best Buy, and couldn't go 10 seconds without nudity. I mean, the game is fun, and I would've kept it. In the end, I went back and bought another game.

Too Old for Games (Irvine, CA)
I won't knock this game for being a God of War clone...I mean GOW3 was a clone of it's prior iterations and added little new in terms of gameplay, yet it's high production values were the reasons I gave GOW3 5 stars. This game was just a monotonous, uninteresting, tedious snore fest that you hope ends sooner than it does. They could have added so much more variety to differentiate the disparate stages of hell, but the way it was done, you just run from one stage to another and only know you're at another sin because of the cheesy cutscene or because your guide to hell tells you so. There is something to story-telling which is lost in this game, unfortunately. The puzzles are some of the lamest I've come across in awhile. The boss battles are what you would expect. The graphics are pretty good at times and then not so other times. Controls are tight so at least it's got that going for it. There is the dumbest mini-game when you absolve a person of his/her sins, to the point where you just want to punish them just to avoid it. If you are into the genre and have nothing else to play, then I'd advise a rental of this because there is no reason to relive your own personal hell twice. I just hope the team at Visceral was busy on Dead Space 2 because the original Dead Space was everything this game is not.
way better then god of war July 16, 2010

" God Of War clone
I couldn't play this game without being like "wow way to copy god of war" if you can look past it being a boring clone of one of the best games ever made... Read more"

This game kicks schmod of bores' ass.
I played through on the xbox first and i liked it allot it was a great game.
Then i purchased a ps3 a few months later and i got "schmod of bore" with it.
Now i played through the whole game of dantes inferno and even the dlc (dark forrest pack sucked)
Now on god of war i played up to the first game same. hated it. and turned if off, and traded in a few weeks ago for red dead.
Hey could be worse it could have been hard rain at least god of war isn't that crapfest of a game.
A missed Opportunity July 9, 2010
M. Bartlett
I'd seen that this game had fairly average reviews, but I was so intruiged by the atmosphere of the game that I bought it anyway. The first few levels are pretty good and creative, but then the levels seem very similar and the game just gets a bit boring. Though there is an abilities tree, you'll probably end up using a couple of moves that are effective in every situation.
Not to be too harsh, but the game just seemed uninspired (oddly). There just isn't a lot of soul in the game. Also, there is nudity for no reason, and it is a bit much. If you are a parent, I would recommend not getting this for your kid.
I usually buy used games, but when I bought it was cheaper new. Since it was new, I got the DLC (Dark Forest, or something?). If you are considering buying new just to get the DLC, I would Strongly recommend not doing so. The DLC is about 20 minutes and is nothing special at all.
