Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great game and action. The action scenes is very well detail. The downside is that it is very similar to God of War for playstation 2 and 3. It makes want to play God of War. The story is a bit complicated and difficult to understand. If your looking for just a game to attack with combos and fight huge bosses then this is it.

I bought this used but it's like new! The game itself is fun but difficult if you're a newbie. I will be buying more used games from Best Buy. They are so cheap and are in new condition. The only drawback is that you don't get the instructional booklets, but they can be found online.

The game is really fun and it reminds me of god of war, however, the game is a little too short for my taste.

Like i said this is a great if you liked god of war.

Love this game this is my second time purchasing it because I lost the original copy

I just love this game! Very cool Graphics! And an unbeatable price Best Buy is a awesome place.

With so many bashing reviews for this game, I was a bit hesitant to buy this one, but I played the demo and watch many videos and to me it seemed ok. So I gave it a shot and here is what I think after finishing the game once on the normal mode. *****************PROS:**************** AMAZING VISUALS AND GREAT ARTSTYLE: Artstyle and graphics in this games are simply phenomenal. Depiction of seven circles of hell, design of various enemies and bosses as well as character are just amazing. This is the strongest aspect of the game and will truly promote you to go deeper into hell to see its sadistic beauty. DECENT COMBAT MECHANICS: Combat mechanics in this game is somewhere between Devil May Cry 3 and God of War. As you will see, they have borrowed heavily from both of this game (mainly God of War). For most part, it works great and you will be able to punish you enemies in decent number of ways. Fans of heck&slash genre will certainly like it. DECENT PLATFORMING GAMEPLAY: Other than combat, what makes gameplay fun is its platforming aspect. Just like God of War, you will be jumping, hanging, swinging and performing various actions from structure to another. While it does have its downside (see cons.), for majority of game, the developers have done wonderful job. I particularly like the design how you are literally going down different circles of hell through platforming aspect. UPGRADABLE MOVES: In this game, you can upgrade your combat moves as well as your character’s parameter by defeating enemies and collecting experience points. I particularly dig this, as I love the games that add RPG elements to it. Having upgradable character truly pushes you to go an extra mile to explore more and thus unlock more. Like it when developers add something like that. ABSOLVE OR PUNISH: I usually like choices in the game. While this game is no Bioshock or Mass Effect in terms of choices, you can at least whether you want to absolve or punish enemies. Doing either will eliminate your foe in unique manner, but more importantly allow you to upgrade unique set of moves depending on what choices you have made. Again another interesting addition. PLENTY OF INTERESTING DOCUMENTS: Other than new moves, there are plenty of other material that you can unlock in this game. For example, talking to a character you encounter very often will unlock different artifacts that gives you power. In addition, different souls you encounter in hell have their own story. Once you find them you can also read through all of it in form of document. So for those who are interested, this is definitely a plus. FREE DLC IF YOU OWN PS3 COPY: If you buy this game for PS3, you get “Dark Forest” free single player DLC. It is a prequel to Dante’s Inferno story. Compare to game, it is not that great, but hey, it’s free :) **************CONS.***************** DUMBED DOWN BOSS BATTLES: While certain boss battles are great, others just seem plain stupid. Imagine you are just fighting a bigger version of enemy and you are simply defeating it by plain button mashing. And honestly compare to its competition (God of War, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta), the boss battles simply suck in this game (with exception of final battle). FAULTY MECHANICS FOR PLATFORMING: There are certain areas where you will die even if you think you are jumping/grabbing correctly because of inherent imperfections of platforming designs or mechanics. The worst part is when you die, you lose everything you collected as these faulty designs/mechanics come not so long after few check points. Because this, you will find yourself going out of your way to absolve/punish same souls/finding treasure chests over and over again until you get everything right. **************CONCLUSION***************** So no, the game is not perfect, but it is not broken beyond hope either. It is definitely worth at least one playthrough simply because of it s gorgeous art and wonderful depiction of seven circles of hell. If you like action/adventure and heck&slash, certainly do give this one a try. I will give 8.5/10.

There are four levels of game play to personalize it to each players ability. Very similar to God of War in the areas of mature content and game progression as well as violence and gore, but way better. Third person perspective like God of War.

This game is awful. There is no story. The controls are confusing. I played it for 30 mins and now I never want to turn it on again.
