About a week ago, a co-worker of mine told me to go out and rent this game called Dante's Inferno. He said it was fantastic, both in game-play, storyline, and graphics. So, of course, I went out and rented it. (Yay for the Family Video discount card! :D) I had heard about the hype for this game and how there was even an animated movie made with it as well. I went home, sat down, and put the game into the 360 and started playing. A few days later, the game was played through and beaten already. After trying to figure out how I actually finally beat a game (I never finish them all the way through), I went out to Family Video yet again and rented the movie. The game was that good. Dante's Inferno is set years and years back. The main premise of the game is that you fight through the 9 circles of hell (the inferno) to save your beloved's soul. It is actually quite epic.
(As a side note, the movie was terrible compared to the game. The game is a lot better, in my opinion.)
So, when it comes to Dante's Inferno, I give it a B+. Some spots in the game were tricky to get past and this is one of those games where you really need to sit and think before you can move forward. If you aren't afraid of the dead or hell in general, this is the game for you. When I figured out the concept behind the game, I almost decided to put it down and not play anymore. But in all honesty, I'm glad I played through it.
That's all from me for now.
Until next time...
Play on!

I have played that game before and I enjoyed it but it is not on of my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHmm. I'm really skeptical of this game, because I have read the Divine Comedy. I just don't see how they can pull that off in an action/adventure game, without it becoming another God of War clone, or whatever other video game they compare it too.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of sad this game was ever made. I'll still try it though.
I thought it was very similar to God of War. I agree with Hani I am sad they made it into a game and a movie. It was a great book and I feel like both kind of took away from that. If you haven't read the Divine Comedy I suggest it.
