Dante's Inferno review. Thoughts?

I really liked the demo. After reviews though, I'm not so sure...

don't care still getting it

Well deserved. I am glad that reviewers are not giving this game good scores simply because it was developed by the same team behind Dead Space. Besides, why would you possibly buy this when God of War III is coming out next month?

I liked the idea, but there aren't that many different combo's you can perform. I'm not sure if its because of the demo or not though.n00bkid

Its going to be justa rent for me regardless.

I think it's probably a very average game. Maybe not 6.5, but more like 7 to 7.5. GS review said that it started off really well, but then just went down hill from then on. I'll prolly get it eventually once it's really cheap.

i'm still getting it. :)aerial6790

I'm about 10h into the game and it won't get long until I'm finished with it and I personally think it's one of the best games this generation, which I rarely say about a game (and I actually have a lot of games, check my profile). The reson I absolutely love the game is the atmosphear which you don't have at the demo because it plays outside hell. Once you enter hell, you feel like beeing there, especially with my surrond system. You can hear people suffering from all directions, the landscapes and enemies perfectly fit the sins they represent and the game is almost perfectly designed since it always adds some challenge into the regular battle (like one place you have to pull some device upwards while enemies respawn unlimited). The way they implemented punish/rescue (dunno how it's called in english) also adds a deepth to the game, especially with the people you have to decide wheter you send them to heaven or not. I actually get into their stories and sometimes it's really hard to decide wether I save them or not :S

All in all I think the game gets more hate than deserved. Everyone is hyped for GoW3, but I actually think that I personally won't enjoy GoW3 as much as I enjoy DI. Don't get me wrong, GoW 1/2 were fantastic and the demo of GoW3 had it's good parts, but I'm missing this increbible atmosphear that DI offers. If you enjoy games that deliver a great atmosphear, this game is a must-have

I really enjoyed the demo but still, this game will be just a rent for me. GOW 3 is where its at, rather save my money for that game then this one.

I knew the game was going to do bad...even before I found out that it was a cookiecutter copy of God of War.

I really liked the demo. After reviews though, I'm not so sure...

The big thing I always think and say is this - I am 24 now and when I was younger I did not have reviews and even if there were reviews I did not care I played what made me happy and what I myself as an individual enjoyed. There are so many different things out there that cater to people and if you are pulled into this game like I am, then just go for it, it's your money who cares don't let others make your own decisions.

Lower than I expected :o

I liked the demo...

i was a hater at first, grumbling about how they'd butchered my favorite non-Harry Potter book, and i was really ignoring this game up until the demo came out. then, i gave it a try and absolutely loved it! though the scores from IGN and Gamespot especially dissapointed me, Destructoid gave it a 9 and i have a feeling i'm really gonna like it! besides, i already got the platinum in God of War II and am 2 trophies away from the plat in God of War 1, so i need a good game to keep me entertained after i beat Assassin's Creed II before God of War III comes out :-)

I thought the demo was ok. But, the review is quite disappointing and I am not sure if I will pick this game up.

Even though I'm not getting it on day 1, I liked the demo and plan on getting it eventually. Please don't tell me that you are one of those people who are controlled by reviews.

That's what I'm saying!!!

I was pretty sure it was going to be average from the start. Not surprised here.

I had a lot of fun with the demo so I'm still getting it regardless of reviews. Fun game is fun.

GC4ever

ummmmm.....i buying both.....

Exactly. Now if people were just buying this and NOT God of War, then maybe I'd question their logic :P

There is a difference between building off of and improving upon another game mechanics and simply copying another game... DI is a clone without inovation and I don't reward those type of games with my money...

I have it preordered and am looking forward to playing it. I think this game is going to be another case of getting screwed by a score, like darksiders.

I'll still be getting the game. PS3 has all those nice bonuses with the preorder.

Neither were ever going to be "day 1" for me. But gamespot really seems to be all over the place with their reviews lately.

The funny thing about an average score is that in order for an average score to be something like a 7 some sites/people have to give the game less than a 7 while others give it more (unless every site writes the same review with the same score).

it deserves it's pathetic score. developers who are too lazy to think of their own ideas don't deserve a job.

Haven't seen a Game about Dantes Inferno so far. Dunno if it's just me, but I can't see where they were to lazy to think oO Never before have I seen a such well designed hell :/ Just because they share Gameplayelements of other Games doesn't make the devs too lazy oO btw. you have Kz2 on your trophy card as last played: Where weren't they to lazy? It's just *another shooter* and there is nothing in the game that hasn't been done before oO

im buying this and bioshock 2 on tuesday

im getting the divine edition though so i can get the dlc for free
