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.

This isn't a game you can beat in 2 hours September 5, 2010 Fox (New Cumberland, PA) This is definitely one of the best third person games I've played so far. It takes a lot of thinking though. I'm using the online game guide right now because I can't beat some of the mazes/bosses. This game is funny, thoughtful, sad, and all in all - awesome. I would recommend buying it. Buy the guide or just use the online guide at IGN if you're stuck, enough said.
Made for button mashers August 27, 2010 Big Broke (Saint Johns, MI) this game was fun for about 30 minutes plus its wierd as "hell". pun intended. wouldnt recomend to anyone exept some wierd emo kid
okay game August 19, 2010 PG The game seems fun at first but is pretty much a button masher. I got bored of it some 4 hours in and just gave up on finishing it. It's a typical button masher, the presentation is done very well and the graphics are pretty good; it just lacks fun gameplay. Rent this one.
Great game, enough with the flaming August 4, 2010 P. Anderson (washington) I have played this game and I do like it. I am tired of people however flaming this game as a rip off of God of War.
I have played both and see little simalarity. Yes both have hell in them, yes they both have button sequences, big deal. Dante's Inferno is about a man during the crusade who goes into hell to save his loved one from eternal damnation. God of War is about a man who sells his soul to Ares but then after killing his wife and child goes on a quest of revenge to destroy Ares and then onto the rest of Olympus.
Wow they both have puzzles, so
They both have hell, big deal.
If the story line is similar to you, Dante's story was made hundreds of years ago. And besides Dante's Inferno came out before GoW3 did.
I give Dantes Inferno 4 out of 5
I give the trolls a -4 out of 5
Very good game.... could have been longer July 30, 2010 Kirankumar Gollamudi (U.S.A) I finished playing it and honestly it is fun to play. I love the game Darksiders, hence decided to play this assuming it is similar to it. but to my surprise this is less challenging than that. The graphics are amazing.
pros: Graphics, new enemies, some puzzles, nice moves
Cons: boss battles could have been tougher, the game play could have been longer, no new enemies in the final stages
You might like it, go rent it or buy it
Have fun gaming dudes :)
Cheers
Kiran
