    Woah! Just flicking through the wiki topic on this game which I have owned since it came out.. Reading through it's wiki the page has an incredible negative bias towards it. Isn't that what the review at the top of the page is for? It was my understanding that the page should be neutral with perhaps a 'critical reception' segment at the end. Maybe the lack of mainstream success for the title means a low amount of people working on its wiki, but it really annoyed me. I realise it's a community wiki and open to edits from anyone. Would this be a fair enough edit?

    To me it looks more like it was written before the game was released, hence the "Known Information" section. Seems like a page that could use a re-write. 
     
    EDIT: Also this: 

    A demo of the beginning of the game was released for December 10th on PlayStation Network and December 24th for Xbox Live. This was probably a mistake, as it allowed players to experience the blandness of the gameplay without paying first.

    Yeah, this page needs fixing.

    Yeah, the page has some really bad areas of negative bias. With the Hell location page also covering the details of the nine circles of hell, I also wonder if it's worth deleting them from this page or at least filing that stuff down.

    It's unfortunate that some wiki editors feel it necessary to insert crass commentary and sarcasm into articles. Someone needs to fix this. Preferably someone who actually knows a thing or three about Dante's Inferno.

    Okay. Cool. I'm a relatively new member to Giant Bomb and wasn't sure what the norm was. I might give it a crack later.
