Review By DharmhXcore
Upholding the tradition that all great video games feature Italians wanting to save pretty blond ladies, EA games brings us a retelling of Dante’s Inferno. The game loosely follows the first of the three poems that make up the divine comedy. The main character, Dante, has to fight his way through the 9 levels of hell to save the soul of his wife, Beatrice.
The game was a fun dredge through hell and back. However, I would think that it would take much longer than 9 hours to destroy all the minions of hell. This game takes full advantage of interactive cinematic, where if you happen to miss hitting a Y or an X, you’re pretty much dead. And like some other plumber-based games, falling down holes never seems to end, and the only difference is there are no magic mushrooms to power you up.
After doing some depressing math, Dante’s Inferno is not worth $6.30 an hour. The promise of downloadable content doesn’t interest me at all either. After you have defeated hell and all that is evil, add-ons seem like a step backwards
All in all, I would give this game a 6.5 out of 10. It was very pretty and full of good dialogue and action, but it was far too short, and there is little to no replay value. Stick to saving
Princess Toadstool.
